We are joined by former journalist, current teacher, and Soviet Union native Slava Malamud to talk about the Deshaun Watson settlement, the 2002 and 2014 Olympic scandals, Putin's long-running war on Ukraine and Alex Ovechkin's support of him, Brittney Griner's arrest and conviction, and whether the US is going the way of the USSR in the early 90s.

Join us next week for part two!
