Following the Wagner mutiny, it's been a difficult few weeks for Vladimir Putin. He has detained, interrogated or fired a number of his top soldiers – including generals – as infighting and discontent weakens Russia's military.

It's been a difficult fortnight for Vladimir Putin. Russia has been losing ground in the key city of Bakhmut, the man in charge of the Wagner group of mercenaries seems to be publicly criticising him in expletive-strewn videos, and now there are even suggestions of betrayal…This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

Mark Galeotti's book Putin's Wars: From Chechnya to Ukraine (Bloomsbury, 2022) is a timely overview of the conflicts in which Russia has been involved since Vladimir Putin became prime minister and then president of Russia, from the First Chechen War to the two military incursions into Georgia, the annexation of Crimea and the eventual invasion of Ukraine itself. But it also looks more broadly at Putin's recreation of Russian military power and its expansion to include a range of new capabilities, from mercenaries to operatives in a relentless information war against Western powers. This is an engrossing strategic overview of a rejuvenated Russian military and the successes and failures on the battlefield. Thanks to Dr Galeotti's wide-ranging contacts throughout Russia, it is also peppered with anecdotes of military life, personal snapshots of conflicts, and an extraordinary collection of first-hand accounts from serving and retired Russian officers. Russia continues to dominate the news cycle throughout the Western world. There is no better time to understand how and why Putin has involved his armed forces in a variety of conflicts for over two decades. There is no author better placed to demystify the capabilities of the Russian military and give a glimpse into what the future may hold. Putin's Wars is an engaging and important history of a reawakened Russian bear and how it currently operates both at home and abroad to ensure Russia is front and centre on the world stage.

In over more than 30 books about Russia, author Mark Galeotti has uncovered and explained the factors behind the rise of President Vladimir Putin, and his remarkable successes in wars, ranging from the attack on terrorism in Chechnya amid the post-Soviet chaos to the invasion of Ukraine last February. His latest book Putin's Wars: From Chechnya to Ukraine follows a prescient 2019 book, We Need to Talk About Putin: How the West Gets Him Wrong, on why the world should have paid more attention to Moscow's moves in the past few years. Guest: Mark Galeotti Host: Suhasini Haidar, Diplomatic Affairs Editor, The Hindu Edited by Reenu Cyriac

In the final episode of the latest series of Putin, Jonny Dymond and three expert guests examine how the Russian president shaped the war in Ukraine between March and October 2022, and how the war has begun to shape him. With Russia's military position weakened by fierce Ukrainian counter-attacks, how much pressure is Vladimir Putin really under? Is there any way out for Putin, or might an increasingly difficult war proving his undoing? Guests: Steve Rosenberg, BBC Russia Editor Nina Khrushcheva, Professor of International Affairs at the New School in New York Dr Mark Galeotti, author of Putin's Wars: From Chechnya to Ukraine Production coordinators: Helena Warwick-Cross and Siobhan Reed Sound engineer: Graham Puddifoot Producer: Nathan Gower Researcher: Octavia Woodward Series Editor: Simon Watts

Mark Galeotti is one of the world's leading experts on Russia, transnational crime and military affairs. He is the author of many books, including The Weaponisation of Everything, A Short History of Russia, and We Need to Talk About Putin. His new book is Putin's Wars: From Chechnya to Ukraine. Galeotti explains how Russia's war against Ukraine is a cruel “laboratory” for the hyper-lethal realities of modern warfare, why Russia's military has underperformed so badly, and how “hot takes” and the 24/7 news media more generally have done the public a great disservice in their understanding of what is really taking place in Ukraine. Galeotti reflects on emotion, responsibility, and what it means for him to publicly think and write such serious matters as international relations and war. He also separates fact from fiction about the complex realities of the real man Vladimir Putin vs. how the mythmaking machine and global popular culture have presented him as some type of genius supervillain. Chauncey DeVega reflects on the one-year “anniversary” of his health emergency and almost going to the big casino in the sky and/or being one with the Force. And Chauncey goes to the movies and shares his thoughts about such films as Bones and All, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, The Inspection, The Menu, Violent Night, and Empire of Light.
