The second half of April, while not without its share of news events, was not dominated by any one story, it was more the creeping death of a number of them, though the arrest of Timur Ivanov, one of Sergei Shoigu's right-hand men, caused quite the stir in the last week. In this video, I'll cover all the stories that kicked up discourse, as well as try and go into a little bit of why they're important here

Additionally, I promised that I would post some links to additional articles that I have been wanting to share in videos, but that I just haven't had the time for. If you're interested in reading more in-depth takes on what's happening in modern Russia, I advise you give them a look.
