This Is Not A Drill with Gavin Esler

🇺🇦 Surviving Putin's Wrath with Bill Browder


Listen Later

Anyone familiar with Putin's history of kleptocracy, money laundering and threats of murder against his adversaries will know the name of Bill Browder, formerly one of Russia's leading foreign investors, now a sworn enemy of Vladimir Putin. 

Browder talks to Arthur Snell about his new book Freezing Order, which details the 'real money' funding the Kremlin's war, and how he became Vladimir Putin’s number one enemy for exposing his campaign of theft and money laundering.

  •  “The Putin regime does terrible things, and then puts their money in Western countries. We now have the chance to seize that.”
  •  “Putin runs his kleptocracy by getting a cut of every crime.”
  •  “Nobody wanted to rock the boat because the influx of Russian money into London was good for the economy.”
  •  “I did something totally unforgivable, I treated Vladimir Putin with total disrespect.”
  •  “We’ve waited too long to sanction the oligarchs, and it’s not changed Putin’s psychology.”
  •  “Nobody who is a patriot would’ve done what Putin has done.”

  • DOOMSDAY WATCH was written and presented by Arthur Snell, and produced by Robin Leeburn with Jacob Archbold. Theme tune and original music by Paul Hartnoll. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. DOOMSDAY WATCH is a Podmasters production.
