271. David Satter - Russia's Contempt for International Laws and Norms Went Unchallenged for Two Decades.

Today I’m speaking to David Satter, journalist, and historian with
unique insights into how the deformation and repression of the past, is
having terrible consequences for present day Russia. David has written
extensively about Russia and the Soviet Union, especially the decline
and fall of the USSR and rise of post-Soviet Russia. David Satter became
the first American journalist to be expelled from Russia since the Cold
War in December 2013. This was perhaps not a surprising move, given
that his books have covered topics such as the FSB’s role in the
apartment bombings that brought Putin to power. From 1976 to 1982 David
was the Moscow correspondent of the Financial Times, and then became a
special correspondent on Soviet affairs for The Wall Street Journal. He
is currently a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and a fellow of the
Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies.
