Gessen has spent years studying the totalitarianism of Putin, and their new book provides analyses that could help citizens of other nations, including the U.S.

Guest: Masha Gessen

Gessen, who has spent two decades studying Russian totalitarianism, will discuss the American president’s attacks on democracy and its institutions and how Trump is using the current crises – the pandemic, the recession, and the protests – to stoke division, fear and help his chances in the 2020 election.
