  • Hybrid warfare and the future of the Russian opposition
    In recent months, Europe has seen a spate of suspected Russian hybrid attacks on its critical infrastructure, but what can this tell us about the state of the Russian nation and its political future? On this week's episode, journalists Nina Dos Santos and Owen Bennett-Jones assess the health of Russian opposition politics and ask what it might take to release the country from its totalitarian leader Vladimir Putin. To help guide them through, the pair are joined by British-American financier and human rights activist Bill Browder, the widow of a poisoned former KGB agent Marina Litvinenko, and the top model turned top activist Ksenia Maximova the founder of the UK's Russian Democratic Society.

  • The chilling effect of lawfare on freedom of speech
    When certain powerful and wealthy individuals take issue with information that's been shared about them by journalists, researchers and politicians, never-ending and hugely costly lawsuits often follow. This is known as lawfare - and on this week's episode, we draw back the curtain on its pernicious impact on freedom of speech in the UK, the huge financial and personal costs those experiencing lawfare often shoulder and lookahead to ask whether reform and regulation is possible. On the show, journalists Owen Bennett-Jones and Nina Dos Santos are joined by former intelligence officer and author of the infamous Trump dossier Christopher Steele and former MP Charlotte Leslie who speak to their personal experiences with these kinds of cases. Plus, we're joined by Gavin Millar KC who brings his four decades of legal know-how to the conversation.Ctrl Alt Deceit is brought to you by Democratys, a charity committed to exposing interference in our democratic institutions and inspiring debate and engagement in our democratic process in the UK and beyond.

  • Elon Musk and the emergence of the American oligarchy
    Can democracy withstand the pressures of a new era of social media strongmen? In this episode, journalists Nina Dos Santos and Owen Bennett-Jones discuss the growing power of Elon Musk, his control over the narrative on X (formerly Twitter), and the consequences for the future of politics in the US. They are joined by Imran Ahmed, CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, an organisation that Musk has publicly criticised and taken to court, and investigative journalist Carol Cadwalladr—famous for exposing the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Cadwalladr warns of the unprecedented impact on journalism, truth, and public discourse, stressing why this moment is critical not just for the US, but for democracies worldwide.
