Podcast: Out Of Isolation?


Ostracized no more.
Ostracized no more.

It's probably a pretty good bet that Vladimir Putin felt more welcome at this year's summit for the Group of 20 (G20) major economies than at last year's.

Which raises the question: To what extent did the attacks in Paris last week change the dynamic between Russia and the West?

Is Vladimir Putin about to get what he's long wanted: a grand alliance to fight terrorism -- one that will push Ukraine off the agenda and get sanctions lifted?

On this week's Power Vertical Podcast, we unpack Russia's limited rapprochement with the West, and what it means going forward.

Joining me are co-host Mark Galeotti, a professor at New York University, an expert on Russia's security services, and author of the blog In Moscow's Shadows; and Steven Pifer, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and the former United States Ambassador to Ukraine.

Enjoy...
