Show Notes
Money tells us a lot about a country – so what can the ruble tell us about Russia? Exploring a nation with a long history of autocracy, Ekaterina Pravilova, author of new book The Ruble: A Political History, joins Seth Thévoz in The Bunker.
- “When political scientists try to explain why Russia is so weird they often overlook the ruble.”
- “Many historians have a feeling of deja vu about Russia right now.”
