After his meeting with President Joe Biden, Russian President Vladimir Putin brushed aside criticism of how his government was treating a pro-democracy group in his country, by comparing them to Black Lives Matter. Russia has a long history of invoking the United States’ domestic race problem. Journalist Julia Loffe wrote in The Atlantic in 2017, that Russia and the Soviet Union have a decades-long history of involvement and exploitation of America’s race problem. The Russian efforts have gone beyond embarrassing the United States, to using race as a way to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Peter Struck, former deputy assistant of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, and fellow at Harvard’s Carr Center for Human Rights Policy Dr. Keisha Blain, join “Prime with Charles Blow” to discuss Russia’s involvement in American racism.
