Interesting how comments personally attack the guest commentator. She is actually a very thoughtful speaker, very considered in her thinking, much more reasoned and articulate than many journalist/writers/commentators and is not afraid to not follow the pack. One would hardly call these two individuals 'russophobes'. Critical analysis is not 'phobic'. If you don't agree then present data to support your different perspective. It would be interesting to see the data. Further, there discussion focused on analyzing the political and cultural environment in both US and Russia. Finally, the information about the treatment of homosexuals in Chechnya was truly shocking.
Max Fritze she's grossly overrated. Although, she great but she says Russia would collapse and disembark like USSR. That's as a russian horrifying, to say the least.
How very interesting to hear this incredibly brave and brilliant person more than year after this interview. Listen to her prediction on the impact of the Mueller report. Spot on! Find and read her article on surviving in an autocracy just 3 days after Trump was elected. As a Russian, she has learned to deal with reality in a way many here do not or can not. We are too distracted by indulging our desires, even desires we did not know we had.
You are Liar not serious journalist. Your article in New Yorker “contains so many lies and distortions that I find it a bit hard to believe that it is a coincidence.”David Harris, the CEO of the American Jewish Committee, said Sunday that the article's subtitle was “defamatory.”
Yes, but it's also almost fascinating how predictably they always turn to the same stuff and, most of the times, seem to think that their insight is somewhat unique and clever.
David Lloyd-Jones. I'm not familiar with her writings, but I agree she seems intelligent and has insight about Russia and Putin. However, she's wrong in her summation that Putin simply sees Trump as a clown. That, he most certainly is. However, there's far too many links - particularly financial ones, that a master-spy like Putin wouldn't choose to have as collateral.
So sad, grown men seated with crossed legs and one foot off the floor. Did your father not train you to plant both feet firmly on the floor? How do you expect to influence opinion when you cannot set straight? You lead by example, a true journalist should know that👍

A great thinker
It’s a sign that she’s getting something right.
Masha Gessen is a brilliant writer. Read her book on Putin, it’s a great insight into a world I knew nothing about. Can’t recommend it more.
Max Fritze she's grossly overrated. Although, she great but she says Russia would collapse and disembark like USSR. That's as a russian horrifying, to say the least.
Russian "is" horrifying.
thanks for the recco!
She is a radical J__ish supremacist full of hate.
Shlomo Shekelhumper you're really going for that old school Jewish hate aren't you?

Is it her or his or what?
@@tatjana9229 No adult cares.
@@tatjana9229 they are non-binary. This is 2023
Love this woman! my inspiration, yes a brilliant writer and communicator, so much to learn on her books
woman...?
@@YouggleItifnyacantfixit-BR549
Yes woman! Don't be so obtuse.
When you see a troll, it’s because Masha’s on a roll.
Brave, intelligent woman.
Very impressing to hear what she says and how she says it.
She reminds me Hannah Arend
Bodicea 1 woman?
It was a woman, now it's a 👨 man
@@bobmiller9313
Yes one woman
Nitwit
2:10 terrible horrible awful interviewer interrupting Masha and cutting them off
First time I hear something what I have been saying since a long time - in Russia there is no public.
Please renew this interview for 2021 events
2022 events too.
❤️
masha was wrong about trump still being president
LoL, (s)he looks so khazarian only to me or wha?!
She looks like a bolshevik.
Yes, dear.
2 frogs and a camera.

And you are dropping your indefinite articles, comrade. Your definition of a serious journalist probably means state sponsored and Kremlin approved.
Male or female?
You'd better call her Misha Gessen.
This is actually an insult in your eyes, isn't it?
Yes, clearly - not even remotely veiled homophobia. Comment sections are ugly and depressing.
Yes, but it's also almost fascinating how predictably they always turn to the same stuff and, most of the times, seem to think that their insight is somewhat unique and clever.
Or even Masha.
you know this lady is insane right
No????
HybridCheef why do you say that?
Masha Gessen is as sane as they come. She's also daring, intelligent, and a fine writer.
David Lloyd-Jones. I'm not familiar with her writings, but I agree she seems intelligent and has insight about Russia and Putin.

you know you're a sycophant, right?
Both of them would love to be oligarchs but they were not lucky.
So sad, grown men seated with crossed legs and one foot off the floor.

Just cut the crap
I'm bored in 2 minutes, she is like a little Napoleon, like Anderson Cooper and lt col vidman. Oh and I'm not a Trump fan
If you don’t know Masha, why are you here? They are an icon. Russian troll, no doubt.
@@salvyv because I thought the topic sounded good. But she made it boring. My opinion, you have yours
Is masha a man ?
