Great nuanced view of Navalny
I love this podcast! I have missed it. This ep is a power packed little morsel for anyone who wants to get deeper in the weeds on Russian current events. There’s a tendency in the west to like Navalny or become disappointed with him based on western standards. This interview offers an objective glimpse of the role that he fills in the history of HIS nation! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
