Dmitry Peskov is a special guest on MGIMO 360 | Off the Record
He is one of the most prominent Russian officials. He is a symbol of the Russian political elite. He needs no introduction. Dmitry Peskov took over as the President's Press Secretary in 2012. A master of elegant formulations, he is a key presence on every significant event in Russia and around the world. However, we have deliberately omitted the international agenda, which Peskov comments on daily, and instead touched on topics that concern us, you, the younger generation. Why has the government launched a crusade against bloggers? Is it permissible to criticize the SVO? And how much does the burden of power cost? This and much more is covered in an exclusive interview for MGIMO 360.
