In this political economy-themed episode of Russian Roulette, Olya and Jeff sit down with Steve Crowley, an expert on labor politics in post-Communist countries, to talk about labor relations and protests in Russia. Then, they chat with Vadim Grishin, an accomplished economist and, most importantly, a recent fellow with the Russia and Eurasia Program at CSIS, about future scenarios for U.S.-Russian economic relations.
