Luke Harding - On the Frontline of Ukraine's Struggle to Survive Russia's Illegal and Bloody Assault

There was a time when those calling Russia a mafia state, and Putin a terrorist, were in the minority, and who were even thought of as extreme voices. My guest today was one of those people, who along with a handful of other writers and journalists like Edward Lucas and David Satter called Putin out early on, while his oppressive regime was just starting to flex its muscles. Luke Harding has observed Russia’s decent into tyrannical absolutism and terrorism over many years, and charted the malign influence or that country abroad, as exercised in wars, energy politics and Active Measures.

Luke Harding is a foreign correspondent for The Guardian. He was based in Russia for The Guardian from 2007 until, returning from a stay in the UK on 5 February 2011, he was refused re-entry to Russia and deported the same day. His expulsion was likely linked with his articles critical to Russia. His 2011 book Mafia State discusses his experience in Russia and the political system under Vladimir Putin, which he describes as a mafia state.
