Unveiling the Truth: The Personal and the Political in Russia and Ukraine

Join Sasha in conversation with New York Times journalist Steven Lee Myers on the legacy of secrecy and misinformation in Russia and Ukraine. For Vasilyuk, her upbringing between Russia and Ukraine and an ambiguous family lineage inspired her first novel Your Presence Is Mandatory, a riveting story of a Ukrainian Jewish WWII veteran and his family who reckon with his lifelong secrecy against the backdrop of Soviet history. Myers, author of The New Tsar: The Rise and Reign of Vladimir Putin, has been covering misinformation and disinformation for NYT for over 20 years, including extensive coverage of Russian election interference efforts. Together, Myers and Vasilyuk untangle and explore the personal effects of far reaching political campaigns that put to question what is fact and what is fiction.
