Konstantin Kisin on Russia, Ukraine + Western Response

Konstantin Kisin joins Peter Whittle on the #SWYSI sofa to discuss Russia & Ukraine from his perspective as a Russian-born citizen who is married to a Ukrainian and is in constant contact with family in both countries, which he also visits several times a year. As a Russian speaker he also closely follows Russian media that is inaccessible to non-Russian speakers in the West. In a wide-ranging discussion they also discuss his new book (out in July) An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West. Funny, provocative and unswervingly perceptive, An Immigrant's Love letter to the West interrogates the developing sense of self-loathing the Western sphere has adopted and offers an alternative perspective. Exploring race, politics, free speech, immigration and more, Kisin argues that wrongdoing and guilt need not pervade how we feel about the West - and Britain - today, and that despite all its ups and downs, it remains one of the best places to live in the world.
