On this episode of The Russia Guy, Kevin talks to freelance writer and Russia watcher Dustin Giebel, who was recently the target of a defamatory blog post by a #resistance freedom fighter named Jay McKenzie. The screed was posted on Medium and promoted by information-warfare darlings like lobbyist Molly McKew and former CIA agent John Sipher — two public figures Giebel has criticized in the past.Geibel talked about life as a Russia watcher at a time when strangers are happy to pick apart your biography and harass your family, all in the name of “winning the fight.”Read the screed:http://archive.is/1iklQRead Giebel's response:https://medium.com/@DustinGiebel/join-us-or-your-russian-controlled-assets-9df9b26897dFollow Giebel on Twitter:https://twitter.com/dustingiebelContribute your hard-earned cash to this podcast:https://www.patreon.com/kevinrothrockMusic featured in this episode:“Serial Killer“ by John Bartmann, http://freemusicarchive.org/music/John_Bartmann/Public_Domain_Soundtrack_Music_Album_One/serial-killer“Building Tension” by eddy, http://freemusicarchive.org/music/eddy/srs_1647/03_Building_Tension_1270“Polyushka Polye” by The Red Army Choir, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2YlbiyiuMc
