Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Anne Applebaum is one of the foremost writers on Eastern Europe, Russia, and the former Soviet Union. She is a columnist for the Washington Post, and has written several books: including “Gulag,” which won a Pulitzer prize.
She is Jay’s guest on “Q&A.” They talk about Russia and Putin. And Ukraine and Putin. And Europe and Putin. And America and Putin.
What does the Russian leader want to be? What does he want Russia to be? Why does it matter to the rest of us?
There are other questions too, concerning nationalism and anti-Semitism, for example. With Jay, Anne Applebaum talks about matters historic and contemporary. Also about the future.
To listen to her is an education, and refreshing, too. She speaks from broad and deep experience and study, and tells us what she knows, unflinchingly. Refreshing indeed.

Excellent, thank you.
A very sobering podcast. Thank you Jay for having it. I just wish more Americans and conservatives actually spent some time worrying about these issues and Putin more. Europe’s problems will always become the world’s problems and unless we are willing to give up on our current level of prosperity we can not hope to hide away from them indefinitely.
