Intelligence Squared

Are Vladimir Putin's days numbered? Or is the Russian leader as strong as ever? New from Intelligence Squared we bring you a subscriber exclusive series 'After Putin' where we explore whether after twenty three years of rule in Russia Putin's time in power is coming to an end. Through interviews with policy-makers, military personnel, journalists and academics, we reflect on whether a mutiny led by Yevgeny Prighozin's Wagner forces on Saturday June 24 2023 has set the wheels in motion for a Russia without Putin and what could come next. In this bonus fifth episode we talk to former U.S Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul who discusses his personal experiences with the Putin regime and whether the West and Russia are natural enemies or whether they can co-exist with peaceful relations.
