Independent media is virtually nonexistent in Russia, enabling Putin to suffocate critical voices and have near-complete command of the message. Investigative journalists who report the truth about the Russian government face grave, immediate consequences. However, there is one exceptional source that still carries out high-level, unfettered investigations: Bellingcat. Christo Grozev is Bellingcat’s Executive Director and lead Russia investigator. Grozev is wanted by the Russian government and keeps a very low public profile, but joined us in Aspen to discuss information warfare, corruption, and the war in Ukraine.

Christo Grozev, Lead Russia Investigator, Bellingcat Productions
