Refugee from Russia: Sapa editor detained, Kremlin spins Hungary loss, and a surprising Massive Attack-Tom Waits release

In this episode, we cover the detention of Alina Dzhikaeva, editor-in-chief of Sapa, a North Caucasus-focused outlet, and what it means for independent reporting in one of Russia's most sensitive regions. We also look at Kremlin propagandists reacting to Viktor Orbán's party losing in Hungary, with pro-war Z-bloggers scrambling to spin the result and even blaming Donald Trump. Then we shift to music and U.S. headlines: Massive Attack and Tom Waits have released a new song, Boots on the Ground, dedicated to the Minneapolis protests. We discuss why the release is surprising and why it carries so much meaning. Plus, a note on the practical reality of following news from Russia: sometimes, you need a VPN just to access the original reporting.
