The unexpected “accidental” deaths of prominent Russians have become a dark joke in the West. But the truth about ‘Sudden Russian Death’ syndrome is even darker.
Bill Browder campaigned for the Magnitsky Acts against Russian corruption and wrote Freezing Order: A True Story of Russian Money Laundering, Murder, and Surviving Vladimir Putin’s Wrath. He tells Andrew Harrison about the chaos within wartime Russia; what turned Putin from a reformer into a despot; and why Ukraine must win this war.

- “As the Russian economy grinds to a halt, anyone with assets is caught in the crossfire.”
- “In Russia, when money is scarce it is more important than human life.”
- “Oligarchs are not independently rich. They are dependent on Putin’s favour. He can take everything away in a second.”
- “Either Ukraine wins or Russia wins. And if Russia wins they won’t stop at Ukraine.”
