What’s it like to live next to the world’s worst neighbour:
Vladimir Putin’s Russia? In 2024, pro-democracy Georgians are
beaten for resisting their pro-Moscow government from enacting a
Putinesque “foreign agents” law. Poland is rearming against the
Russian threat, and the Baltic states of the former USSR are
subjected to hybrid warfare from their former occupiers. Yet
instead of terrorising Europe, is Putin’s aggression uniting it
behind ideals of democracy and mutual support? Polish historian
Karolina Wigura tells Gavin Esler how Russia’s belligerence is
turning Poland towards the West. And Russian Studies expert and
RUSI fellow Natia Seskuria explains Georgia’s unprecedented pro-EU
protests. Support This Is Not A Drill on Patreon to get early
