I’m posting audio of two questions with answers from today’s interview with Nikolas Gvosdev that would have ended up on the cutting room floor for the sake of time. Our host, Marco Werman did the interview with Gvosdev, and it focuses on Vladimir Putin’s speech to the Russian Duma about the state of the Russian economy. Listen to it after about 5 PM eastern here. Meantime, here are the two questions that didn’t make it into the final cut. I thought they were worth listening to anyway and they are, first, who’s in charge in Russia again? And second, where’s Putin on Iran? //3:24
