Listen now | A week into Putin’s disastrous regime change war, Evgenia and I sit down to talk about our thoughts on what’s happening and about what we’re hearing about from friends and family in Russia. On one side, it’s clear there are a lot of people totally backing Putin’s “humanitarian intervention” — for instance, my mom’s childhood friend in St. Petersburg screamed at her that “Putin is God” and that “he’s saving Russian people.” On the other, a lot of Russians are shocked and totally terrified by what’s happening, and many are fleeing as best they can to wherever they can — Georgia, Azerbaijan, Israel, Turkey, European countries.
