Meduza’s English-language podcast, The Naked Pravda highlights how our top reporting intersects with the wider research and expertise that exists about Russia. The broader context of Meduza’s in-depth, original journalism isn’t always clear, which is where this show comes in. Here you’ll hear from the world’s community of Russia experts, activists, and reporters about issues that are at the heart of Meduza’s stories and crucial to major events in and around Russia.

The Naked Pravda

Anthropologist Jeremy Morris joins The Naked Pravda to discuss his latest book, <a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/everyday-politics-in-russia-9781350509344/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Everyday Politics in Russia: From Resentment to Resistance</a> (Bloomsbury, March 2025). The conversation explores Morris’s extensive fieldwork across urban, regional, and rural Russia to understand how society has responded to the collapse of the USSR, capitalist social Darwinism, and the ongoing war in Ukraine. He shares insights into his ethnographic methods, emphasizing the importance of embedded, long-term relationships and the distinction between social suffering and geopolitical resentment. Morris also critiques the limitations and biases of polling data in news coverage and underscores the need for more diverse voices in understanding contemporary Russian society.<a href="https://meduza.io/feature/2023/07/12/uchimsya-ne-boyatsya-vmeste-s-vami">Как поддержать нашу редакцию — даже если вы в России и вам очень страшно</a>
