Russia’s Far East is losing people at an accelerating pace, and the consequences go far beyond demographics. This episode examines why Moscow’s policies are failing to keep the region populated and economically viable. Host Benjamin Lee and his guest, Paul Goble, Distinguished Senior Fellow with Jamestown Foundation, look at how infrastructure gaps, weak governance, and short-term thinking are driving residents westward. The shifting population balance is also creating new geopolitical dynamics, particularly with China. As the region empties out, the strategic risks for the Kremlin continue to grow.
