At our annual general meeting, we invited Martin Kragh, senior researcher into Russia and Eastern European economics and history to discuss the current situation in Russia and Ukraine with journalist Torun Nilsson. We filmed it - so you can watch it here. (In Swedish.)

Martin Kragh, Deputy Head of the Center for Eastern European Studies (SCEEUS), sent his latest book The Fallen Empire - Russia and the West under Vladimir Putin, to the printer on the same day that Russia invaded the Ukraine. Here he talks with Torun Nilsson, lead writer at Dagens Industri, about the current war situation and the situation for Swedish companies in Russia. The conversation took place at our Annual General Meeting in May 2022.
