From Russia with... Reason. An Analysis of Russian Politics

From Russia with... reason

Maria Ananyeva, political commentator and linguist was the guest of Maria Cernat and Boyan Stanislavski in this edition of the On the Barricades podcast. The discussion was an interesting one, opposing the optimistic views of the hosts to the pessimistic ones expressed by Maria Ananyeva. They discussed the punishments Russians face if they express views opposed to the government, electoral fraud and the legitimacy of political leaders. Also discussed were important political figures and the venerable Russian Communist Party, its present and future.
