Countering Putin's propaganda
Amanpour - Een podcast door CNN
Victory Day in Russia has long been one of the most important dates in President Putin’s calendar – a chance to show off the Kremlin’s military might while commemorating the day the Soviet Union defeated Nazi Germany in World War II. But this year is drastically different. Under tight security, no fly past, and with only one tank to spare in Moscow, a parade designed to exude strength instead exposed the strain the war in Ukraine is taking. Our first guest is putting all his efforts into countering Putin’s propaganda. Ilya Ponomarev was once a member of the Russian state Duma, and now he’s running TV channel February Morning, which is aimed at Russians inside Russia. He’s even taken up arms against his own country in Ukraine. He joins the show to discuss. Also on today's show: climate activist Elisabeth Stern & human rights lawyer Jessica Simor; former Google VP and engineering fellow Geoggrey Hinton To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
