I confess at this stage I couldn't think of much to say about the Russian elections that wasn't obvious, or hadn't been said, so instead I recorded a 'magazine' episode covering a range of other topics:

  • Team Navalny's latest video (here), this time on the corruption of Foreign Minister Lavrov, and why the opposition needs a new big idea
  • The Zapad-2021 exercises and their political significance (coverage by Mike Kofman here and Konrad Muzyka consulting.com/blog/">here)
  • Three stories that went under-reported in Russia: on AUKUS, on Putin's health (my Spectator piece is here) and Sputnik V
  • Rumours that Sergei Shoigu is being sent to Siberia - in a good way.
