In the first edition of the newly minted "Power Vertical Podcast," I spoke with longtime Russia-watcher David Satter, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and author of the book "Darkness At Dawn: The Rise Of The Russian Criminal State" and the forthcoming "It Was A Long Time Ago And It Never Happened Anyway: Russia And The Communist Past."
David boasts decades of experience following Russian affairs as a journalist, scholar, and author. In our discussion, he offered his insight on the latest machinations of the ruling tandem, the prospects for modernization, and the state of Russian civil society.
