The radio correspondents change focus for a few weeks and become the Radio Correspondents-Russia. This is the sixth episode.
The system behind Putin
In Radio Correspondents Russia, we tell about Putin’s closest men: Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who is behind the annexation of Crimea and the war in eastern Ukraine. Yevgeny Prigozhin, known as “Putin’s chef”, is behind the influence of the US presidential election and is linked to the mercenaries in the company Wagner. Also hear about Nikolai Patrushev, former FSB chief who has known Putin since the 1970s, now secretary of the Security Council.
