Of Ceasefires and Successions

On today’s episode of Russian Roulette, Jeff starts off with a conversation with Michael Kofman, an expert on Russian military capabilities and strategy from the Kennan Institute and the Center for Naval Analysis, about Russia’s intervention in Syria and its role in that conflict. Then, Jeff speaks with Alisher Sidikov, the director of Radio Ozodlik, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s Uzbek service, about the death of President Islam Karimov and the ongoing political transition in Uzbekistan.
