In Moscow's Shadows 196: Space, the Failing Frontier

In the first half, I look at developments regarding Ukraine (I'm getting more sceptical about Putin's interest in a deal) and profile former FSB general Sergei Beseda, 'the Baron.'

In the second half, for Cosmonautics Day, I look at the ailing Russian space programme.

The FPRI report by Pavel Luzin I mention is here.
