This is part 1 of the hour-long special Generation Putin, an in-depth look at the millennial generation in the post-Soviet states.
------
It's been over 20 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Young people in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Georgia are facing unemployment, democratic pressure, and the legacy of repression, while being influenced by the West, punk music, and the Pussy Riot trials. PRX sent a reporting team from the Seattle Globalist to explore the tensions in these countries, described by The Atlantic as 'uneasily suspended' between two political eras.
Join host Brooke Gladstone for Generation Putin, an in-depth look at the millennial generation in the post-Soviet states.
Produced by the Seattle Globalist. Presented by PRX, the Public Radio Exchange, with support from the Open Society Foundations.
Public radio stations can get Generation Putin for broadcast.
