YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOne of Russia’s richest oligarchs, Andrey Melnichenko, has warned of the looming disaster facing his country. He spent 60 hours talking to The Economist’s Russia editor, Arkady Ostrovsky, laying out an alternative vision for Russia. It’s a remarkable intervention from an insider living in Moscow, who understands the risks of speaking out in Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, is joined by Edward Carr, deputy editor, Oliver Carroll, chief Ukraine correspondent, and Arkady Ostrovsky to discuss who Mr Melnichenko is, his intentions and what it means for the future of Russia.
