Today we look at the ongoing crisis in Russia - we ask why is this happening now? What actually happened? Why did Putin decide to do what he did? And what are the likely consequences and actions of this move. 

Unfortunately my statistics were slightly off in two regards in this episode - I can only apologise and retrospectively correct myself. Putin's poll numbers are better than I stated in the episode and Navalny has been imprisoned for two and a half years, not three and a half years.

I hope you enjoy!
