Video Description

Today, we’re joined by Bill Browder, a leading voice in global finance, human rights, and the fight against corruption. As the CEO of Hermitage Capital Management, Browder was once the largest foreign investor in Russia—until he was declared a threat to national security by the Putin regime for exposing corruption at the highest levels. His relentless pursuit of justice following the death of his lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, led to the Magnitsky Act, a landmark piece of legislation that targets human rights abusers with sanctions. We caught up with Bill while he was at the Munich Security Conference, where he shared his insights on the war in Ukraine, the evolving U.S.-Russia relationship, and what the West must do to counter emerging global threats. His deep understanding of Russia’s power structures and global influence makes this a must-watch discussion.
