Russia, behind the headlines as well as in the shadows. This podcast is the audio counterpart to Mark Galeotti's blog of the same name, a place where "one of the most informed and provocative voices on modern Russia", can talk about Russia historical and (more often) contemporary, discuss new books and research, and sometimes talk to other Russia-watchers.

The most recent lengthy and detailed comparison of pagan Russia’s... more
Mr Galeotti’s knowledge and dry delivery always makes this well worth a listen. It’s really rather good
Thank you for sharing your expertise and bringing to light the awful inner workings of the Russian society, Mr. Galeotti. Fortunately, we live in free speech societies, and we can exchange ideas unlike inside Russia.
However, the opinions you expressed lately on the peace process are a bit blunt. It’s good to be a realist and understand what’s possible, but at the same time those statements should be qualified with what is right and who has the moral upper ground. At some point Ukraine and Europ... more
