Mark GaleottiRussia, behind the headlines as well as in the shadows.

First, as the USA, Israel and Iran trade drone and missile strikes, how the war may play out for Russia: my sense is that on balance it will give Moscow more opportunities than headaches.

- Better than that Eastern Block stooge
I enjoy listening to this while working, aside from the repetitive tropes and hilariously wrong pre-invasion “insights”, though he seems much less Comrade Pinko after the invasion. Worth listening to for an educated outsider’s insight on the monsters behind the rusty, blood soaked Iron Curtain.

This is* a great and entertaining (if you’re into geopolitics) listen and Mark speaks with much thought and understanding of Russia past and present (I’ve learned new names and certain details to further research) - but I get exhausted of the same beat down and oftentimes simplistic rhetoric. I guess it’s in the name - to discuss the “shadow” aspects of Moscow but it lacks something and often overly biased, simplified and brutish. The most recent lengthy and detailed comparison of pagan Russia’s... more

United Kingdom3 months ago - Romania and Finland DID NOT Attack USSR
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
