After Putin: The Reprisal

Are Vladimir Putin's days numbered? Or is the Russian leader as strong as ever? New from Intelligence Squared we bring you a subscriber exclusive series 'After Putin' where we explore whether after twenty three years of rule in Russia Putin's time in power is coming to an end. Through interviews with policy-makers, military personnel, journalists and academics, we reflect on whether a mutiny led by Yevgeny Prighozin's Wagner forces on Saturday June 24 2023 has set the wheels in motion for a Russia without Putin and what could come next.  In this second episode, Professor Sam Greene joins us to discuss Vladimir Putin's next moves as he looks to reassert his power and bounce back after a humiliating week. The episode is hosted and produced by Conor Boyle.  Clips from: MSNBC and BBC News Music: - 220522 piano loop by donaldtimo The first two episodes of 'After Putin' will be available to all, here on the Intelligence Squared podcast.
