On episode 20 of the show we are joined by Viktor Bout, a man whose life story is quite worthy of a film adaptation. A polyglot, entrepreneur, graduate of the Soviet Military Institute of Foreign Languages. In the West Viktor is portrayed as the “lord of war” and the “merchant of death”. A Russian businessman, a case against whom was fabricated by the American intelligence services on the basis of a provocation they carried out against him in Thailand in 2008.
After extradition to the United States, Bout was sentenced to 25 years in a maximum security prison. He was eventually released back to Russia in December 2022, in a prisoner exchange between US and Russia. Upon his return to Russia, Viktor had decided to start a political career joining the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR).

The both of you are wonderful people, and yes I learned a lot today. When Trump comes back things will be better between the two countries. Remember T_rump has the real N_codes.
