Dr Mark Galeotti is a leading expert on Russian history and security. He runs the influential and fascinating podcast and blog ‘In Moscow’s Shadows and is the Director of the consultancy firm Mayak Intelligence and also an Honorary Professor at UCL School of Slavonic & East European Studies and a Senior Associate Fellow at RUSI.

We wanted to hear from Galeotti himself about Russian society, politics and statecraft. Without further ado, here’s David Knowles' conversation.
