Nice to see this video. Unfortunately when I tried to join "live", the website told me the discussion had been postponed. Maybe some IT issue on your end that needs fixing.
Thx for posting this. Just to kick in a point of information, ppl who are interested in this vid might want to consider subscribing to the Levada Center's newsletter. A real feast of statistical political info, as well as the occasional "big think" pieces (full disclosure: their last two think-pieces are still lurking unread on my computer!). They exemplify the courage -- and often the irrelevance -- of Western-style 'liberals' in Rus. A warning: if you follow their data, never again will you respect most of the 'expert' talking heads in U.S. & Cdn media on Russian affairs!
As an addendum, another great source of Rus 'liberal' thought are the writings & vids of political scientist Ekaterina Schulmann. To put it mildly, she's dynamic: those who are familiar with the speaking style of the 'Murican art historian Camille Paglia ... well, she makes Paglia seem taciturn.
