Over the past month or more, it was very difficult to find a mutually acceptable time slot with WION,, India’s premier English language global broadcaster, for a discussion of the day’s leading Russia-related news. Happily, we did that today and I offer to the community my 4 minute interview on Russia’s latest Wunderwaffe missile, the Oreshnik.

Wiederaufnahme der Zusammenarbeit mit WION: Die Bedeutung der Oreschnik-Hyperschallrakete und warum sie vom US-Geheimdienst nicht vorhergesehen wurde
Im vergangenen Monat oder länger war es sehr schwierig, mit WION, Indiens führendem englischsprachigen globalen Sender, einen für beide Seiten akzeptablen Termin für eine Diskussion über die wichtigsten Russland-Nachrichten des Tages zu finden. Glücklicherweise haben wir das heute geschafft, und ich biete der Community mein 4-minütiges Interview über Russlands neueste Wunderwaffe-Rakete, die Oreschnik, an.
Gilbert Doctorow's latest book, "War Diaries. The Russia-Ukraine War, 2022-2023" is a unique contribution to literature on the war thanks to the author's reports on the Russian home front written during his periodic visits to St Petersburg at a time when Russia no longer issued visas and nearly all Western journalists had left the country. Doctorow's two-volume "Memoirs of a Russianist" published in 2020 also constitutes a category of its own, consisting largely of diary entries rather than reminiscences written decades later.. Volume 2 focuses on the community of 50,000 expatriate managers working and living in Moscow during the 1990s, about which none of his peers has yet to write.
Gilbert Doctorow is a professional Russia watcher and actor in Russian affairs going back to 1965. He is a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard College (1967), a past Fulbright scholar, and holder of a Ph.D. with honors in history from Columbia University (1975).
After completing his studies, Mr. Doctorow pursued a business career focused on the USSR and Eastern Europe. For twenty-five years he worked for US and European multinationals in marketing and general management with regional responsibility.
From 1998-2002, Doctorow served as the Chairman of the Russian Booker Literary Prize in Moscow. During the 2010-2011 academic year, he was a Visiting scholar of the Harriman Institute, Columbia University.
Mr. Doctorow is a long-time resident of Brussels.
