Navalny interviews his poisoner; why Elon Musk is really moving to Texas
Hello Oligarchy readers,
We tracking the ways the Covid-19 is affecting the super-rich— and what it means for the rest of us.
NAVALNY
If you haven’t watched it already – and, to be honest, even if you have – stop what you’re doing and watch the video of Alexei Navalny interviewing a member of the FSB hit squad that tried to kill him. Even by the standards of Russia, which has long been a country where all-but-impossible news stories happen on a seemingly daily basis, this is incredible.
In case you haven’t been following the Navalny news. He’s an anti-corruption blogger turned opposition politician, who regularly exposes the financial crimes of the powerful on his website. In August, he was poisoned with Novichok, evacuated for treatment in Germany, and survived. Then Bellingcat, exploiting Russia’s everything-is-for-sale approach to information security, in an investigation that was astounding even by their standards, identified his would-be killers and exposed their identities.
