Paul Starobin explores Russian resistance in "Putin's Exiles"

from Midday · host WYPR 88.1 FM Baltimore

Two years have passed since Russia began a brutal invasion of Ukraine. In a press conference on Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers and "tens of thousands" of civilians had died in the conflict, so far while many others have been injured. Estimates of Russian casualties vary widely, but US intelligence sources and the United Nations put the number near 100,000. We are joined by Paul Starobin, a former Moscow Bureau Chief for Businessweek, who has reported extensively on Russia for more than 25 years. His new book, "Putin’s Exiles: Their Fight for a Better Russia," chronicles the extent and the efficacy of the movement to oppose Putin.Email us at [email protected], tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.
