The Battle for Kyiv - The role of propaganda in Russia's war with Ukraine - Anders Åslund interview

Interview with Anders Åslund, about the war in Ukraine, and the role of propaganda, disinformation and historical myths in the conflict. Dr Åslund has advised the Russian and Ukrainian governments, and is the author of 15 books, most notably "Russia's Crony Capitalism", a scathing analysis of the economic system that has taken hold in Russia. We talk about the current crisis that is dominating world headlines but trying to put it into more of a historical context.

Anders Åslund is a senior fellow at the Stockholm World Forum and an adjunct professor at Georgetown University. He has been a professor at the Stockholm School of Economics and was the founding director of the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics. He has worked as a Swedish diplomat in Moscow, Poland, Geneva and Kuwait. Dr. Åslund earned his doctorate from the University of Oxford, and he is fluent in six languages.

Silicon Curtain is a YouTube channel and podcast that has been set up to examine all aspects of propaganda, digital disinformation and hybrid digital warfare, so we will also try to address these aspects of the dual crises unfolding in Ukraine and Russia today.
