038: Bill Browder on Putin the skilled psychologist and psychopath

Today I'm talking with another titan, the inspiring Bill Browder. If all Bill had achieved was hedge fund success, he would be regarded, as the most significant foreign private investor in Russia, as standout.But it's Bill work as a human rights activist over the last decade that marks him out as a man of great courage and conviction; for he has fought Russian corruption, and by proxy Vladimir Putin, in the name of his lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who was brutally tortured and murdered for standing up against the regime. Now, the international Magnitsky Act stands in Sergei's name.Show notesCommunists, academics and family rebellionThe story of the Magnitsky Act & Putin’s Achilles HealPutin and the Trump familyHow we behave under duress: moral valour vs. physical painStanding up to Russian corruption and the consequencesPutin the skilled psychologist and psychopathUnder threat of Russian arrest and coping strategiesTrump, Robert Mueller, Putin and the fateful press conferenceTime to stop dealing with countries committing human rights abusesBefore you go, please leave me a review.
