The CEPA Podcast is a series of dynamic interviews, bringing together leaders and experts from both sides of the Atlantic to explore the most important challenges shaping our world today.

In this episode, Dr. Evgeny Roshchin, director of CEPA's Democratic Resilience program, is joined by CEPA Senior Fellow Sam Greene, journalist Julia Ioffe of Puck, and Vladislav Kulminski, Moldova's Ambassador to the United States, to assess what comes next for Putin's regime. They examine whether a worsening economy, a stalling war, and growing pressure at home are weakening Putin's grip or simply hardening it. They dig into how authoritarian regimes break down, who might step in if Putin were gone, and what his survival or fall would mean for Moldova and the West.
