Join Chrystia Freeland, Federal Member of Parliament for Toronto Centre, for a conversation about Putin and Russia’s future with former Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov. Kasyanov, who was Russia’s Prime Minister from 2000 until 2004, is an opposition politician and outspoken critic of the Putin government.
Mikhail Kasyanov has had an extensive career in Russian politics. In the early 1990s, Kasyanov worked in the Yeltsin government and from 1999 until 2000 was Russia’s Minister of Finance. He then became Prime Minister from 2000 until 2004 during President Vladimir Putin’s first term. Since resigning in 2004, Kasyanov has led several opposition coalitions and been an outspoken critic of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
