October 2020: RUSSIA Names its First Female Deputy Ambassador in New York

Russia has a new deputy ambassador at its UN mission in New York:
Anna Evstigneeva, the first woman to hold the position there.
Evistgneeva, who originally hails from St. Petersburg, gives us her
take on Russia's Security Council presidency this month as the
Council tackles high-stakes topics such as the expiration of the
arms embargo on Iran and the aftermath of a military coup in Mali.
We also chat with Anton Barbashin, the editorial director of
Riddle, a Russian-focused think tank, and a fellow at the Atlantic
Council. Based in Moscow, Barbashin describes the glass ceilings
women still face in Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Links:
