Crooks and Kompromats; Current Russian-American Affairs

Peggy Maradudin, local Russian analyst extraordinaire, returns with more context for the latest developments in Russian and interactions between heads of state. Sergeys Lavrov and Kislyak are mentioned, to clarify references in the latter half of the program. Two readings recommended from this interview: "Nothing is True and Everything is Possible," by Peter Pomerantsev; and "Red Notice," by Bill Browder. Ms. Maradudin will return to this show in advance of the March 2018 Russian elections.
