Aaron Gasch Burnett is a German Canadian political analyst, news journalist, communications strategist, and expert on German politics with over a decade of experience based in Berlin and over 15 years in journalism, research, and communications. ----------William Browder was the largest foreign investor in Russia until 2005, as CEO of Hermitage Capital, when he was denied entry to the country and declared “a threat to national security” for exposing corruption in Russian state-owned companies. Since his business was stolen through a massive fraud by Russian state officials, and his lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky ruthlessness murdered, Mr. Browder has sought justice outside of Russia and started a global campaign for governments around the world to impose targeted visa bans and asset freezes on human rights abusers and highly corrupt officials. The United States was the first to impose these targeted sanctions with the passage of the Sergei Magnitsky Accountability Act in 2012, followed by the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act in 2016. William Browder is Head of Global Magnitsky Justice campaign, and author of Red Notice & Freezing Order (April 2022). Now he is seeking justice for crimes committed by Russia at the behest of Putin, in Ukraine. ----------BOOKS:Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice (2015)Freezing Order: A True Story of Russian Money Laundering, Murder,and Surviving Vladimir Putin's Wrath (2022)----------Your support is massively appreciated!

Dr. Nick Redman, Director of Analysis and Editor in Chief at Oxford Analytica talks about the trajectory of the war. Bill Browder, CEO of Hermitage Capital and Head of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign discusses Putin quest to capture him and Russia's performance in the war.

When Russia's President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of neighbouring Ukraine in February 2022, he plunged his country and his citizens into an ongoing period of economic decline and global isolation. On day one of the war, he ramped up Russia's propaganda machine and began conducting country-wide crackdowns on signs of protest and dissent. The government imposed travel restrictions on its citizens, but nearly 4 million Russians were reported to have left the country by early May 2022.Many of those who have left belong to the generation of outward-looking entrepreneurs and creatives who have lived, worked, or studied outside of Russia in the past – the same people who were driving Russia's economic and cultural sectors until a few months ago.Bill Browder, CEO of Hermitage Capital, Head of the Global Magnitsky Campaign, and author of Red Notice and Freezing Order and Nataliya Vasilyeva, Russia correspondent for The Telegraph, join Dr James Rodgers, lecturer at City University in conversation on the future of Russia. They discuss whether Russia is facing a ‘brain-drain, the impact of Western and global sanctions on Russia's economy and society, and if Russia will ever be able to repair its relations with the rest of the world.This episode was recorded as a live broadcast on 22 June 2022.

Bill Browder of Hermitage Capital describes the brazen fraud and violence of Putin's Russia.

Bill Browder is the author of "Red Notice" and "Freezing Order," which delineate his investments in Russia and the ultimate death of his attorney Sergei Magnitsky after he refuses to back down on his accusation that Russian government officials fraudulently claimed a $230 million tax refund for Browder's company, Hermitage Capital. We cover Browder's history and ultimate investments in Russia as well as Putin's personal vendetta against him and the status of Russia today. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Analysis from Bill Browder, CEO of Hermitage Capital and head of the Global Magnitsky Justice campaign and also Dr Robin Niblett, Director of the Chatham House think-tank.

Bill Browder, CEO Hermitage Capital, Head of Global Magnitsky Justice campaign and Author of Red Notice & Freezing

"One month ago, Russian forces launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Putin's army has mercilessly targeted civilian areas, including apartment blocs, hospitals, and civilian shelters. The war crimes of Putin's regime are clear to all, as millions of refugees flee the conflict and thousands perish. In response to Putin's murderous behavior, the United States and other democracies have imposed sanctions on Russia, targeting the Russian banking sector, Russian exports, and over 100 individuals, including some of Putin's closest oligarch allies. However, these sanctions did not target the most important segment of the Russian economy — the export of oil and gas. They also did not address a deeper problem, which is the ability of Russian oligarchs to hide their money in the West. This week, we examine how oligarchs conduct business in the West, the impact of Western sanctions on Russia, and the types of reforms and sanctions democracies need to implement to change Putin's behavior. On this week's episode of Dissidents & Dictators, we have three guests. Casey Michel is an investigative journalist and the author of American Kleptocracy, which studies how the United States has become a haven for stolen wealth. Bill Browder is the CEO Hermitage Capital, and the Head of the Global Magnitsky Justice campaign. Hagar Chemali is a professor at Columbia University and a former official at the Treasury Department's Office of Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes."

In this episode of DISINFORMATION WARS, host Ilan Berman speaks with Bill Browder, CEO of Hermitage Capital and one of the world's leading anti-corruption crusaders, about the economic pressure the U.S. and its allies are bringing to bear against Moscow in an effort to deter Russian aggression.

New Zealand could be cranking up its response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as cabinet meets today. New measures on the table include a specific law change to target Russian investment. Other western nations have used powers in Magnitsky laws - which target corrupt officials and human rights offenders - to go after Russia's president. The architect of the US' Magnitsky Act, and chief executive of Hermitage Capital, Bill Browder, spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Bill Browder was the largest foreign investor in Russia when he discovered massive corruption in the Russian stock market. He was then expelled from the country after complaining and declared a threat to national security.

Bill Browder is the author of Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and one Man's Fight for Justice, which is the best book I've read in a decade (and I read a lot of books). Red Notice is the story of how Browder turned a $25 million investment into a $4 billion hedge fund (Hermitage Capital) by exposing corruption in the newly opened Russian economy of the late 90's and early 00's. Eventually, Browder's efforts to shine light on the newly privatized industries, cut too close to strongman, Vladimir Putin who kicked Browder out of the country and declared him a “threat to national security.” And that was just the beginning! Russian police officials took over his companies, used them to steal $230 million from the Russian treasury, framed Bill, and eventually arrested and killed his lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky. Today Bill lives under threat of retaliation and spends his time fighting to honor Sergei's memory.

I was first exposed to Bill Browder in 2006, at a hedge fund conference at Nice in the south of France. He was one of the star attractions, his Russia-focused Hermitage Fund, hailed as the best performing money fund in the world. Confident, brash, outspoken, Browder was riding a wave of the best kind of popularity - the adoration of your peers. The Bill Browder I met with in London this week was rather different. Self-contained, professional to the point of being a little guarded. Which is hardly surprising. Browder has been through the mill and back in the dozen years since I last saw him. And the change is good. The over-riding sense is of that most rare of our species - a man who is on purpose. In 2009, Browder’s life changed when his Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky was jailed on trumped up charges, and when he refused to break after 11 months of torture, was beaten to death. As you’ll hear in what follows, that put Browder jumped onto a different path. One which accelerated in 2015 with the publication of his bestselling autobiographical book Red Notice….. Not surprisingly, it’s a story that fascinates South Africans. Less than a year ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin cast a long shadow over this country. Then South African president Jacob Zuma spoke publicly and often about his affection for Putin and regularly fired cabinet minister who refused to follow his direction – particularly over the unaffordable, unnecessary Russian nuclear power deal Zuma was determined to push through. Something Browder has followed rather closely

Bill Browder of Hermitage Capital describes the brazen fraud and violence of Putin's Russia.

Bill Browder’s fascinating new book Red Notice, is a roller-coaster ride through post-Soviet Russian history.Bill Browder was one of the architects of Russia’s growing economy during the privatization era. He saw an opportunity to make a great deal of money and created the Hermitage Capital investment fund based in Moscow. Browder became the largest foreign investor in Russia. In 2000, his fund ranked as, “The best performing emerging-markets fund in the world.” (p. 1)However, on November 13, 2005, Bill Browder was expelled from Russia. He would later become one of Russia’s harshest critics after the imprisonment and murder of his Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky.He grew up in the United States as the grandson of the leader of the American Communist Party. In his teens, Browder rebelled against his family’s ideology. “I would put on a tie and become a capitalist.” (p. 17) He studied business at Stanford University in California. After graduation, he moved to England to work for the Boston Consulting Group and Robert Maxwell. His first job led him to Poland where he discovered the immense opportunity for profit in Poland’s privatization process. After setting up his own investment fund called Hermitage Capital, Browder became immensely wealthy and successful.However, his wealth and fame did not help him when he was targeted by Putin’s henchmen in 2005. His outspoken criticism of Russian corruption put him at odds with the Russian government and he was banned from Russia. He managed to get his money out of the country, but the Russian government leveled trumped up charges of fraud and tax evasion against his company.One of his lawyers, Sergei Magnitsky, exposed the massive tax fraud invented by Russian officials. He was thrown into jail and died from lack of medical treatment for the complications of pancreatitis and a severe beating by prison officials. Browder dedicated Red Notice to Magnitsky and called him “the bravest man I’ve ever known.”Magnitsky’s death changed Bill Browder’s life. Not only did he feel responsible for Magnitsky’s murder in prison, but he also wanted to ensure that this injustice should be punished. During his campaign to seek justice for Magnitsky, Browder became a powerful critic of Vladimir Putin’s government. His efforts culminated in American sanctions against Magnitsky’s persecutors. Browder transformed himself from a rampant capitalist into a crusader for justice.Red Notice is a very well written book about Russian finance, power and corruption. It reads like a novel, but the shocking aspect of this story is that it is based on the truth. Readers will be fascinated by the intricacies and dishonesty of the Russian government, financial and legal system. The power of the oligarchs and Putin’s support of their activities shows how utterly corrupt the Russian system is today. Browder’s efforts to implement sanctions against Russian lawmakers have facilitated the current sanctions against Russia for their illegal annexation of Crimea and invasion of eastern Ukraine.Bill Browder’s campaign to seek justice for Magnitsky is truly admirable. It almost makes readers forget about his shameless profit-seeking in the post-Soviet era, and his support for Vladimir Putin in the early days of his political career. Browder has transformed himself into a human rights activist who uses the media very effectively. However, Browder lives a very dangerous life since he could be targeted for murder at any time like other critics of Russia. The recent murder of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov is an indication that no one is safe. Readers will definitely wonder if they will be reading about Browder’s mysterious death in the near future.

Fredrik Wadström har följt det uppmärksammade fallet Magnitskij som handlar om handlar maktspel på elitnivå, korruption och brutal död. Dessutom: unga pianister drillas allt hårdare - håller attityden till elitsatsning på barn på att förändras i Sverige? Och så funderar Gunnar Bolin på de europeiska populistpartiernas förakt mot eliten. Sergej Magnitskij var en av Rysslands ledande affärsjurister. Han avslöjade hur höga chefer inom ryska polisen hade stulit över 1,5 miljarder svenska kronor ur statskassan. Efter avslöjandet fängslades  Magnitskij, själv anklagad för skattebrott och 2009 dog han efter sviterna av en misshandel. Fredrik Wadström har mött teatermänniskor på den lilla källarteatern Teatr Doc i Moskva som spelat pjäsen om Magnitskij i snart två år och hör den amerikanska affärsmannen, Magnitskijs före detta kollega, som åker världen runt och lobbar för att fallet ska få ett rättvist slut. Hör också William Browder, delägare i investeringsbolaget Hermitage Capital som Sergej Magnitskij arbetade på uppdrag för och som idag åker runt i Världen och försöker förmå regeringar att stödja en svartlistning av de personer inom det ryska rättsväsendet som varit inblandade i Magnitskijs död. Kosmo undrar också om den svenska synen på elitutbildningar håller på att förändras. Nivån på unga pianister har höjts de senaste åren, tävlingarna blir allt fler och fler barn söker till skolor som Adolf Fredriks musikskola. Frilansjournalisten Cecilia Josefsson har besökt en Steinwaytävling för barn och mött pedagagoger, föräldrar och tävlande. Och så funderar Sveriges Radios kulturkorrespondent Gunnar Bolin kring den europeiska politiska populismens förakt mot eliten. Programledare: Anneli Dufva Producent: Marie Liljedahl
