Michael McFaul is one of the outstanding Russianists in America. A boy from Montana, he made Russia his life's occupation, and preoccupation. He is a professor at Stanford. And he was U.S. ambassador to Russia.

With Jay, he talks about being a student in the Soviet Union. And developments thereafter (personal, national, and international). He talks about Putin and his rule. About NATO and the West. And other critical questions.

He has had rich and rare experience, and he relates it with exceptional skill. This podcast is an enriching half-hour.
