Podcast appearances and mentions of Ivan Golunov

In mid-March, Moscow's Basmanny District Court arrested International Olympic Committee Executive Board member Alexey Vlasenko based on testimony from two previously detained businessmen. Two months later, the same court arrested Russian Industry and Trade Ministry deputy head Olga Pokidisheva and former head Olga Kolotilova on suspicion of fraud. The common thread between these people is Pharma 2020, a federal targeted program designed to import new medical technology into Russia that has brought just four medications to market, so far. Meduza special correspondents Svetlana Reiter and Ivan Golunov explain what happened when the Russian government decided to play venture capitalist.

The 2024 transfer of power dominates the conversation at Putin’s annual press conference, an economist analyzes the Russian economy’s last decade, an interview with Russia’s “journalist of the year” Ivan Golunov and what makes the “Moscow Case” a turning point for Russia.

Around Moscow, there's a whole industry of so-called “black creditors” — microfinance institutions (or MFOs) that swindle and seize debtors' homes. Ivan Golunov's investigation for Meduza has discovered that almost 500 apartments have been seized from their owners over the past five years without so much as a court order. In fact, this scheme involves more than simply “squeezing” people from their homes. It is possibly part of a wider, international money-laundering system. Here's Meduza special correspondent Ivan Golunov on the ins and outs of this industry. The post The Evictors appeared first on The Eurasian Knot.

Carmelo, Sofya, Antonella and Peter are gonna talk about journalist Ivan Golunov who was arrested and detained with the charge of drug possesion by the Russian government. This is not the first time that happens in the last years, they'll go deep in this history and analyse some other cases, and they'll also try to answer to the question "Does Russia has freedom of press?".

Arbitror’s Editor-in-Chief Sophia Freuden sat down with TJ Sjostrom and Maria Gershuni to discuss Ivan Golunov’s arrest in Moscow earlier this month, potential causes for and consequences of the botched arrest, and the state of journalism worldwide in 2019. If stories of weird corruption, sheer ineptitude, and media biases interest you, give this episode a listen.Sound: “Bright breathy saxophone by Stan Rams The Netherlands” by Stanrams on Freesound.org with a CC BY-NC 3.0 license

The shock arrest of investigative journalist Ivan Golunov — and his even more unexpected release — is revealing the unpredictability of late Putinism. We speak with Alexei Kovalev, Ivan’s editor, about what it took to get him free, and with Daily Beast reporter Anna Nemtsova about how authorities tried to manage the outcry.

An investigative journalist’s release may look like a press-freedom win in Russia—but it represents much more than that. Democratic presidential hopefuls have no shortage of transformative ideas, yet Senate arithmetic ensures there’s little hope of realising them.

Poland's nationalist Law and Justice Party has attacked democratic institutions, the judiciary and the free press and sought to criminalize criticism of Poland's role in the Holocaust. Still, the country's democracy remains more robust than Hungary's, and even critics back a US military cooperation agreement that would put more troops in Poland to deter Russia. Harlan Mandel discusses press freedom, then Irena Lasota makes the case that Western observers hold a simplistic view of Polish politics. Susan also joins Greg to discuss the Globsec security conference, the Czech Republic, Moldova and the Russian reporter Ivan Golunov.

*)Protests against extradition bill paralyse Hong Kong A massive protest forced the Hong Kong government to delay a debate on a controversial extradition bill. Thousands of protesters took over a major downtown road and tussled with the police outside the government HQ. The bill would allow suspects to be sent to mainland China for trial, heightening fears of greater Chinese control on the semi-autonomous territory. *)UN Security Council condemns violence in Sudan The United Nations Security Council has called for an immediate halt to the violence against civilians in Sudan and a resolution to the crisis. Ethiopia’s Sudan envoy said protest leaders and the ruling generals agreed to resume talks on a handover of power to civilians. The military council also agreed to release political prisoners as a confidence-building measure, special envoy Mahmoud Dirir said. *)Russia frees investigative journalist Golunov Russain authorities dropped drug charges against investigative journalist Ivan Golunov in a rare U-turn in the face of public anger. Golunov’s supporters said he was framed for his reporting and threatened to stage a mass protest in Moscow. Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev said the case was dropped due to insufficient evidence and the police officers involved were under investigation. *)Ankara slams US House resolution on Turkey Turkey slammed a US House of Representatives’ resolution outlining concerns over the relationship between Ankara and Washington. The resolution condemned Turkey’s decision to acquire the Russian S-400 air defence system. Turkey has said it was the United States’ refusal to sell its Patriot missile systems to Ankara that led it to seek other sellers. *)Notre-Dame to celebrate first mass since fire And finally, The Notre-Dame Cathedral will host its first mass this weekend since a fire ravaged the Paris landmark two months ago. Only 20 people are expected to take part, including priests and canons from the cathedral. The event will be broadcasted live so as to allow Christians from all over France to participate.

On this week's show, Steve Gutterman discusses two prominent cases in which the accused is under house arrest in Moscow. Why did the Russian authorities choose this form of pretrial detention for American financier Michael Calvey and Russian journalist Ivan Golunov, and what's in store for them?
