David Greene: "Midnight in Siberia"
After two and a half years as NPR’s Moscow bureau chief, David Greene undertook a 6,000-mile journey by rail from Moscow to the Pacific port of Vladivostok to speak with ordinary Russians on how their lives changed in the post-Soviet era. Along the way, he discovered an overlooked, idiosyncratic Russia. He recounts his sojourn and shares his insight into the country during the Putin age in his book "Midnight in Siberia." Mark Bazer, host and founder of The Interview Show and co-host of My Chicago on WTTW joins Greene for a conversation.
