Putin's People – a groundbreaking study that follows the money
Nothing I would call &quot;groundbreaking&quot;, but I do salute the warning about Russia&#x27;s money and influence being happily accepted by the west right now. As somebody who grew up in communist eastern europe I fear this russian strategy apparent success.<p>A completely corrupt regime which puts incredibly little value on human rights is agitating people in the west with accounts of (comparatively ) minor incidents and imperfections in western systems and institutions. This includes a lot of things from anti EU sentiments to racial tensions. And it&#x27;s working if you ask me.
