to discuss it, i am now joined by suzanne massey, former adviser to president ronald reagan on russian affairs matter, massive. great to see it's a big honor, big privilege for me to talk to you. thank you very much for inviting me. we are recording this conversation on the eve of our new year, and i'm sure him to come and bring some novelty into your life. because as far as i know you're about to receive a russian passport. yes, but i have only one reason. i white book, i am a writer, i've written 7 boats. 5 of them are about russia. one of the things i was wanting to do, and it's the only reason this is happening is because i wanted to be able to write my next book, which i am working on right now here. and not have to wait and in and out. the could be able to come in easily stay as long as i needed to, to do my work and go out. and that is why i have a russian fresh boy. i call it a russian passport because i am a switch citizen. i am an american citizen, and i am very happy to join that chill russian. so you describe yourself as a writer, but i'm sure you're being very humble here
