443. Mark Galeotti - The Fall, Rise & Fall of One of the Most Dangerous Warlords in Russia and the World.
GUEST: Mark Galeotti - historian, author, security expert and academic.
----------
Yevgeny Prigozhin emerged as one of the most dangerous warlords in the

killed in a mysterious plane crash. But what is the truth about this
enigmatic figure, his role in the war with Ukraine, and the chaos
unleashed across Russia by his turn against Putin? And, in the aftermath
of his death, what is next for Russia in the new stage of late Putinism
that Prigozhin's life forged?

439. Aliide Naylor - The Baltics are Vital Democracies that Border a Revanchist Russia Ruled by a Tyrant.
Aliide Naylor is a British journalist, author, and editor who has
specialised in Russia and frontline European nations since 2011. Her
freelance reportage has been published by a variety of outlets,
including Vice, The Times, the Guardian, Tortoise, POLITICO Europe, and
many more. Whilst she has extensive experience working on Russia,
Europe, and international affairs, she also covers topics as diverse as
technology, society and culture. Her first book, 'The Shadow in the
East: Vladimir Putin and the New Baltic Front', was published by
Bloomsbury in January 2020.
----------
The Baltics are vital democracies in North-Eastern Europe, but with a
belligerent Vladimir Putin to their east – plotting his war on Ukraine –
and 'expansionist' NATO to their west, these NATO members have
increasingly been the subject of unsettling headlines in both Western
and Russian media. But beyond the headlines, what is daily existence
like in the Baltics, and what does the security of these frontline
nations mean for the world?
Based on her extensive research and work as a journalist, Aliide Naylor
takes us inside the geopolitics of the region. Travelling to the heart
of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania she explores modernity in the region,
investigates smuggling and troop movements in the borderlands, and
explains the countries' unique cultural identities. Naylor tells us why
the Baltics have been vital to the political struggle between East and
West, and how they play a critical role in understanding the long
running tensions between Russia and Europe.

2024-06-08 | Vassal State: What China Gives Russia - Original video by Vladimir Milov | Translation
2024-06-08 | What China Gives Russia by Vladimir Milov | Translated
from the original Russian by Jonathan Fink
----------
What did Putin agree with Xi Jinping during his visit to China, and what
is happening in Russian Chinese relations in general? There is a lot of
talk about this now. On the one hand, the dialogue between Putin and Xi
in Beijing did not end with anything concrete in terms of signing any
new agreements. On the other hand, we hear a lot of talk that China may
still begin to supply Russia with lethal weapons for use in its war with
Ukraine.
In general, what is the current situation in Russian Chinese relations?
Since, despite all these statements about eternal friendship, some
rather alarming messages are coming through; agreements between the
countries are not working. Large Chinese companies have stopped working
with Russia, fearing secondary US sanctions.
Well, first of all, it must be said that, despite the fact that Russian
propaganda presented Putin’s visit to China with maximum fanfare, and,
by the way, most of the Russian government and senior people from the
Russian leadership went with him. But, on the other hand, the results of
this visit were strikingly empty. As a result, Putin and Xi signed only
11 documents. You can easily find this list on the Kremlin’s website,
and it is clear that there is nothing serious there, no new financial,
trade, military agreements. Only phytosanitary protocols, which, in
general, can be signed at the level of deputy ministers.
----------
Визит Путина в Китай оказался удивительно пустым. Что скрывается за
отсутствием реальных прорывов? Почему не решаются возрастающие острые
проблемы в отношениях с Китаем - блокировка расчетов, уход китайских
компаний с российского рынка, сокращение критических поставок китайского
оборудования? Объясняет Владимир Милов - это продолжение нашего
регулярного плейлиста, где мы рассказываем правду об истинной сущности
отношений России и Китая, о которой вы не услышите по российскому
телевидению.

438. Taras Zhovtenko - Unpacking the Authoritarian Toolkit of Propaganda that Russia Exports to the World
Disinformation continues to be a threat to Ukrainian sovereignty and is
also targeted at Western democracies and allies of Ukraine. Around the
world aggressive information warfare threatens information security and
social stability, especially in states which Russia seeks to destabilise
or coerce into supporting it. As we saw in the 2016 US elections, it
can potentially threaten results of voting, place undue influence on
voters’ decisions and undermine democratic processes. This is more
important than ever, with a slew of elections in 2024 and the advent of
exponential AI created fakes.
----------
Taras Zhovtenko has a PhD in National Security and is on the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Public Advisory Board. He is a researcher
and Analyst in the area of IOPs/PSYOPs, Hybrid Threats, Disinformation,
and International Security.

437. Ecocide Campaign - On this day in 2023 Russia Committed Ecocide when it Destroyed the Kakhovka Dam
IN MEMORY OF THE DESTRUCTION OF KAKHOVKA DAM
Friends and fellow activists, This is vitally important, and
unfortunately has not received nearly enough media attention, either at
the time the crime was committed by Russia, or subsequently. Ecocide
needs to be designated a war crime. We must remember Kakhovka.
Please share this around your networks to maximise attention on this
issue. My friend and colleague Steven Lacey has kindly involved me in
the creation process of this impactful campaign to raise awareness about
Kakhovka and Ecocide.
On this day in 2023 the Kakhovka Dam was destroyed, laying waste to
hundreds of square miles of natural habitat and poisoning waterways.
Right now The International Criminal Court does not recognise Ecocide as
an international crime and ecological destruction goes unpunished. Help
nature get justice. Share to show your support and visit:
https://lnkd.in/d2dDPQmv to donate and sign the petition. #StopEcocide #NatureDemandsJustice
