Suddenly, it looks like Russia is on a losing streak in Europe.

Suddenly, it looks like the populist wave that Moscow was cheering on may just be receding.

Suddenly, from Austria to the Netherlands to France, centrist pro-European forces appear back on their feet.

On this week's Power Vertical Podcast, we take a look at Moscow's attempts to influence the French election and why they appear to have failed.

Joining me is Cécile Vaissié, a professor of Russian and Soviet studies at the University of Rennes 2 and author of the book The Kremlin's Networks In France; and Marcel Van Herpen, director of the Cicero Foundation and author of the book Putin's Propaganda Machine: Soft Power And Russian Foreign Policy.
