We are academics and political commentators who used to live in Russia. Now we roam the world as political exiles. Russia is a cautionary tale - and a trendsetter in extreme reactionary politics. That is why we want to share our perspective, which is both Russian and global, analytical and politically engaged. Join us - and our esteemed guests - as we think, translate, understand, and strategize. Hosts: Ilya Budraitskis, Ilya Matveev Production: Ilya Matveev Design: Ksenia Chapkevich
