An Uphill Battle to the Kremlin

About this episode

This episode discusses the challenges faced in producing the podcast amidst Kremlin state media and FSB interference.

We’re halfway through season 2, so this episode is an interlude of sorts. As you can probably imagine, the work that goes into this project is massive. We’re fighting an uphill battle against Kremlin state media. FSB interference, and a huge Russian wall of silence. We want to share with you some of the behind the scenes struggles of the Sad Oligarch extended universe...
