Ep. 7 | Russia's Valentine & the Navalny Protests
Episode #007
TWIP navigates the love-hate relationship of Putin’s social contract; Alexei Navalny’s poisoning, arrest, and return to Russia; the Russian opposition’s protests; Valentine’s Day in Russia; and our very first guest joins the podcast with a special offer on “Power Vacuums” (though some of the content might be filtered.)
Melissa Ballard, Scott Chipolina, Caroline Rose (Senior Analyst & Head of the Strategic Vacuums Program at the Newlines Institute) delve into the protests following the arrest of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, the social contract Putin made with Russia, and why it appears to be fracturing.
