About this episode
The episode discusses the evolution of Russia's middle class and the political tensions under Vladimir Putin's leadership.
A decade ago Russia's middle class was larger and richer than it had ever been. “Russians are OK” was the title of a popular YouTube channel. But Vladimir Putin’s return to power sparked unprecedented protests as two very different visions of Russia vied for dominance. New episodes will be released weekly on Saturdays.
