Over the years, Andy Young of Siberian Light did a series of interviews with top Russian watchers. However, Andy doesn’t have the time for continuing these interviews of late, so we’ve agreed to have me take over for the time being.
You can follow these interviews at Watching the Russia Watchers. They will consist of about 15 questions – most of them standard ones and a few specific to the interviewee. I’m not as nice as Andy, so you can expect the latter to be probing, even combative. I will try to avoid taking any ideological stance: I want to have every interviewee, no matter their beliefs, leaving the stage with fear and trembling. 😉
I intend to conduct one interview every two weeks. If you want to be interviewed, write to me with your contact details. If you’ve already been interviewed by Siberian Light, I’m open for second rounds, but not before finishing with the newcomers.
Are you planning to re-interview “top Russia watcher” Averko? Hell, I would pay to read that one.
Hey, don’t knock Averko. His commentary on FSU matters at Eng. lang. mass media venues probably exceeds anyone else’s by at least an order of magnitude.
These posts are only in English? No Russian version?
Probably not, unfortunately.
