Feb 22, 2024 | As a result of a crackdown on independent journalists in Russia, Yevgenia Albats has been forced into exile. The Editor-in-Chief of The New Times, an independent political weekly based in Moscow, has been working in the United States since 2022. She was a close friend of Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny, whose death she blames squarely on President Putin -- as does Navalny's wife, Yulia Navalny. The Kremlin calls the accusation “absolutely unfounded,” claiming that an investigation into Navalny's death is underway. Yevgenia Albats joins the show to discuss the loss of her friend and what it means for the world. | Originally aired on February 21, 2024
