Oh yes, hello wonderful people, welcome back to the show.

My guest today is John Swini, investigative journalist and a writer.

If you've been watching the news this week, you will have seen that the leader of the

Russian opposition, Alexei Navalny, was arrested, as he got back into Russia, having been

in Germany recovering from nerve agent poisoning after an assassination attempt.

There is a fascinating and incredibly dangerous poker game going on in Russia at the moment,

the establishment versus the newcomer and John Swini is an expert on the situation.

So I go on to explain exactly what's happening.

So today, expect to learn why Navalny is galvanizing such support, how he survived poisoning

with Novi Chok, how he convinced one of his own assassins to admit to trying to kill him

and why he once nearly became a pirate.

This is just, I couldn't believe how ignorant I was to so much that it's been going on in

Russia. It's going to be terrifying and fascinating to watch what happens over the next few years.

But yeah, this episode tells you everything you need to know.

I really hope that you enjoy it.
