Thanks so much for joining us.

Thank you.

Nina, can we start with a little bit about you first, if if you don't mind?

You've got a very well known surname, obviously using the female version of it.

Do you mind me asking, have you found living with that?

Is it a bonus or or can it sometimes be a burden?

You were seven years old when your grandfather or great grandfather died, although he adopted your mother uh so you're technically both fascinatingly.

But you were only seven, but

What do you think he would make of Vladimir Putin today and what Vladimir Putin has has turned into if he was still alive?

He became a great reformer.

Nina, if any listeners seen the film The Death of Stalin from twenty seventeen as sort of a tragedy comedy if you like, uh I think there'll be no doubt in the the the heroic nature of your grandfather or your great grandfather, although yeah, it's it's obviously a a really interesting debate.

But I have interest have you met Putin yourself personally?

Mm-hmm.

That's a that's fascinating.

It's in the DNA.

Now, it would appear that that the feeling between you and Putin is mutually shared by him, because uh this year, March this year, the Russian Ministry of Justice designated you as a foreign agent.

Which perhaps also goes to show just how sensitive Russia currently is or the Kremlin currently is of criticism these days.

But what does that actually mean, a foreign agent?

Right.

Coming up after the break.
