Listen "Episode 9 - Russia & Ukraine (Featuring Simon Ostrovsky)"
Episode Synopsis
Journalist and documentary filmmaker Simon Ostrovsky joins Russ and Norm to talk about Ukraine, Russia and the US' ever evolving beef with Moscow. Born in the Soviet Union but raised in the US, Simon has spent more than a decade reporting on politics and conflicts across the former Soviet Union. You may know him for his award-winning documentary 'Selfie Soldiers,' which traced the social media footprint of a Russian soldier from Russia to the battlefields of the Ukraine. Or as the dude who got kidnapped in 2014 by pro-Russia separatists while reporting for Vice News in Eastern Ukraine. Or for his recent reporting on the Ukrainian presidential elections for PBS' NewsHour. Simon shares his experiences working in Russia and Ukraine as a journalist as well as his perspective on the entangled politics of Washington, Moscow and Kiev.
