Stephen Sackur speaks to Bill Browder, the American investor who
made a fortune in post-Soviet Russia before falling foul of
Vladimir Putin. Browder has long campaigned for Russia’s economic
isolation - his lobbying has been instrumental in the US passing
the Magnitsky Act in 2012, which imposed targeted sanctions on
Russian individuals directly connected to rights abuses. Thanks
to the invasion of Ukraine, Russia is now facing further Western
sanctions. But Putin’s war machine hasn't yet ground to a halt
and he shows no sign of reversing course. Has Russia’s economic
resilience been underestimated?
