On The Sources of Z Conduct ft. Yasha Levine, Evgenia Kovda

We've talked a lot about the information environment in the West, as it pertains to support for the War and its uncomplicated nature. Yasha and Evgenia of The Russians podcast join Riley and Dan to talk about the other side of that information environment - namely, what is being shown to Russian boomers on TV every day? Where did we get the Z? How have a particular view of history and geopolitical realities interacted to produce a strange outcome? All this and more!
