Mar 28: Kremlin File with Edward Lucas

Episode 9 "Influence Operations" recorded on September 30, 2021

Kremlin File

When Olga and I decided to put Kremlin File together, it was to inform and warn audiences about the threat the Russian leadership posed to the West, and how they operated to create chaos, divide us, and sow discord because this is how they chose to wage war on us- below the threshold.

We now know those threats were real. I’ll be posting a few of the Kremlin File episodes with some of our brilliant guests for your review.

Kremlin File: Influence Operations

We’ve touched on spies but never before have we discussed Kremlin spy operations like this. Edward Lucas joins Olga and Mo to discuss how and why Russian intelligence operations pose a unique danger to democracy.
