Two of the finest Russia-watchers join forces to explore the rise & fall of Yevgeny Prigozhin, & what it says about 'late-stage Putinism'. 'Downfall' by Anna Arutunyan & Mark Galeotti is an absolutely must read to understand Russia past & future. penguin.co.uk/books/460781/d…

It may be self-interested as he includes ‘Downfall’, my and Anna Arutunyan’s book on Prigozhin, but the bibliomaniacal Joshua Huminski has compiled a brilliant array of interesting books due out this year

Mark Galeotti “The Weaponisation of Everything” is yet another book of his that is well written and explains the larger context of conflict. This is another must read book if you want to understand the security dilemma in the return to history and near peer power competition.

Do companies really think we'll still believe their recorded messages telling us they are 'particularly busy' right now, or 'experiencing an unusual level of calls'...?

Good heavens, this massively exceeded my expectations: over 1.5 million downloads of In Moscow's Shadows podcasts in the past year. I'm not exactly prone to humility, but I'm humbled. Thank you to everyone who listens, engages (and, best of all, actively supports through Patreon)

Putin’s grip on power is weakening – Russia is entering a new era of decline
I've just noticed that this piece from i newspaper (that ran on the 25th) is no longer paywalled!

In this context, it's also worth noting that the USSR had a population of around 280M, and today's Russian Federation just 143M, so the proportions are even more staggering, although of course these were very different kinds of war

A re-up of the last episode of the year: who’s on and off the presidential ballot, how things are going in the war, and parsing a particularly hawkish interview…

Spanish editions of PUTIN’S WARS and THE WEAPONISATION OF EVERYTHING are published by Desperta Ferro so when they asked me to write for a magazine’s Ukraine War special, I was happy. I had no idea it would prove so impressive/handsome a publication. Makes me wish I read Spanish!

.Shashank Joshi is quite right - too many took the mantra at face value and wilfully chose not to scratch beneath the surface. The main Western nations at least have always quietly admitted caveats and limits
