Bolotnaya, Aleksei Navalny, and Pussy Riot.
Sochi, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and the Euromaidan.
Crimea, the Donbas, and little green men.
Information war, cyberattacks, hybrid war, Boris Nemtsov, and the Panama Papers.
Five years ago this week, The Power Vertical Podcast kicked off as a regular program and these are just a handful of the things we discussed.
It's been a wild ride this past half-decade. And today, we put the old band back together for a special anniversary show to have a look back -- and a look ahead.
Joining me is co-host Mark Galeotti, a senior policy fellow at the Institute of International Relations in Prague, a visiting fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, and author of the blog In Moscow's Shadows; my original co-host Kirill Kobrin, editor of the Moscow-based history and sociology magazine Neprikosnovenny Zapas; and one of the Power Vertical Podcast's very first guests, Sean Guillory of the University of Pittsburgh's Center for Russian and Eastern European Studies, author of Sean's Russia Blog and host of the SRB Podcast.
Enjoy...
