Russian Roulette Live Podcast | Hanna Notte on Putin's Global Campaign to Defeat the West

The Russian Roulette podcast will be LIVE on Tuesday, October 6th, 2026, featuring a wide-ranging discussion about Russia's evolving global strategy with Hanna Notte — author of the new book: We Shall Outlast Them: Putin's Global Campaign to Defeat the West. Hanna will join Max and Maria from 11:30am – 12:30pm ET to explore how Russia's war in Ukraine has evolved into a wider contest over the global order. 

Drawing on reporting and analysis from more than a dozen countries, her analysis traces how the Kremlin has adapted its foreign policy, built new partnerships, navigated sanctions, and expanded its influence across the Global South. The book offers a panoramic account of a Russia grown increasingly outward-facing, and of the changing international landscape in which it now operates. From the halls of the United Nations to military bases, presidential palaces, and tense borderlands, Notte explores the people and institutions advancing Russia's agenda — and the activists, refugees, and whistleblowers living with its consequences.
