The Russian Elite and the Chief of the Wagner Group

On this edition of Parallax Views, Dr. Anatol Lieven, the director of the Eurasia Program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, returns to discuss his observations from a recent visit he took to Ukraine. Additionally, Anatol and I delve into Yevgeny Prigozhin, chief of the Russian private military company Wagner Group, and his recent attacks of Russian military elites. Is Prigozhin's attacks indicative of a Russian succession struggle brewing for when Putin is no longer in power?

Blob, Anatol's criticism of pro-Russian opponents of the D.C. foreign policy establishment, and more All that and much more on this edition of Parallax Views.
