Russian Media in Exile Find Global Relevance
Guests must register via Zoom in order to receive the webinar info.
Putin’s ability to sustain his disastrous war in Ukraine depends nearly as much on his shutting down Russian civil society and independent media as his maintaining the supply of soldiers and weapons. Over the past three years, most independent media have had to flee Russia and start anew abroad. Three years later, Russian independent media in exile are not just surviving: they are producing groundbreaking reporting, investigations, and analyses that are relevant not only for domestic Russian audiences but for American and global ones as well.
In this discussion, leading independent Russian journalists will discuss their latest investigations into how Russia successful evades the sanctions, how Russian intelligence agencies targeted Americans in Afghanistan, and what happened with the assets of Western companies that were forced to leave Russia following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
