A Conversation with Mikhail Zygar: Opposition and Journalism in a Time of War
Writer, journalist, and filmmaker Mikhail Zygar was founding editor-in-chief of Russia’s only independent news TV channel, Dozhd (TVRain), which provided an alternative to Kremlin-controlled state television and gave a platform to opposition voices. The New York Times has described Zygar as “one of Russia’s smartest and best-sourced young journalists.” Winner of the International Press Freedom Award in 2014, Zygar is the author of All the Kremlin’s Men, the #1 bestseller in Russia that has been translated into over twenty languages, and The Empire Must Die, a Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Year. He has openly protested against the Russian invasion of Ukraine and is now based in Berlin, writing a weekly column for Der Spiegel.
Mikhail Zygar talks about opposition, journalism, the Russian diaspora, and the deep origins of the war in Ukraine, as treated in Zygar’s newly released book, War and Punishment.
