Podcast: Has Russia’s COVID Vaccine Gotten Lost In Politics?

This episode looks at the domestic and international reception of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine.

By Alexander Gabuev, Polina Ivanova, Henry Foy

Published on Mar 30, 2021

Is Russia’s Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine as successful as the Kremlin claims? Are political considerations really preventing it from getting approval in Western countries? Why is the vaccination rate so low in Russia, and why didn’t Putin get vaccinated sooner? Podcast host Alex Gabuev is joined by Henry Foy, Moscow bureau chief of the Financial Times; and Polina Ivanova, a special correspondent for Reuters in Moscow.
