My old pal Drew Fink is an expert on Russia and Ukraine--so he's the perfect guy to talk to about the current situation.  After studying history and Russian at Penn, Drew worked for several years as a consultant with the Department of Defense.  He then earned a PhD from the University of Leiden, for which he wrote a dissertation about Soviet propaganda.  To research his dissertation, he lived in Ukraine for 6 years, where he met his wife, Helen.  They currently live in Estonia, where Drew has recently started a cyber security training firm, Monkfish.  Drew has written a number of articles on Russia, and is currently a contributing writer for The Dispatch.
