Summary
Greetings, Comrades!
This is a re-upload because acast went haywire last year.
This year, Grandfather Frost brings you a whole new episode, very work-intensive, about how it’s like to be an opposition journalist in Russia…and how it’s like to be in the Eastern European media, talking about Russia in general. Together with analytics, and reports on the latest events. And some jokes. Because why not. Enjoy!
