Here you’ll hear from the world’s community of Russia experts, activists, and reporters about issues that are at the heart of Meduza’s stories and crucial to major events in and around Russia.

Klantrecensies
Always worth a listen
From the title to the music to presenter, Kevin Rothrock’s, wry take on what’s going on behind the news, this programme is always worth a listen. He selects interesting subjects - sometimes very micro-level but with macro implications - and a wide range of guests. The latest edition on cleaning up banks and the scourge of deposit insurance is a really good example. So, for others whose Russian is too rusty or you’re just too lazy to go for Russian-language podcasts, I strongly recommend this.
