Power Vertical Podcast Ep. 56
Vladimir Putin’s proposed Constitutional changes went from non-existent to fully drafted in less than a week. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin names a new Cabinet that looks a lot like the old one. And Russia gets a new Prosecutor General as Yury Chaika gets a new job.

Listen to episode 56 of the Power Vertical Podcast as Brian Whitmore is joined by CEPA’s Maria Snegovaya and Donald N. Jensen to dissect the latest from the Kremlin.
