Deep Ukraine #7 Putin's People (Ukraine, Firtash, Mogilevich)

We read from and comment on pages 306-318 of "Putin's People" by Catherine Belton, which deals with Ukraine following the 2004 Orange Revolution and the "Brainy Don" Semion Mogilevich, who was recently placed back on the FBI's most wanted list. We also read some background from the book "Seeds of Fire" by Gordon Thomas. https://www.state.gov/semion-mogilevich/ https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/russian-oligarch-charged-violating-united-states-sanctions https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/tv-producer-russian-oligarch-charged-violating-crimea-related-sanctions https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2021/01/14/rep-pete-sessions-tweeted-that-he-told-pro-trump-group-to-keep-fighting-ahead-of-deadly-capitol-riot-then-deleted-it/ https://wacotrib.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/newly-sworn-in-u-s-rep-pete-sessions-joins-last-ditch-challenge-against-biden/article_ef333800-4ecd-11eb-b86b-7f8c4f248f79.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1993/07/20/clinton-fires-sessions-as-fbi-director/1c1b437e-a695-48d0-bc9e-afa5f0f69b79/ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/13/william-sessions-fbi-director-fired-bill-clinton-dies https://archive.ph/S5eNo https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4540423/pat-buchanan-cultural-war https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2022/02/15/amanpour-catherine-belton-russia-uk.cnn https://twitter.com/search?q=zeev%20gordon&src=typed_query https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/michael-cohen-lanny-davis-russia-716413/ https://www.article19.org/resources/uk-19-organisations-condemn-the-lawsuits-against-catherine-belton-and-harpercollins-deeming-them-slapps/ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Theantedote
