KunstlerCast 406 — Reinventing Dmitry Orlov in Russia

Dmitry Orlov is a Russian-American engineer and author of many books on culture and politics. He emigrated to the US with his parents at age 12 and as a young adult sojourned in Russia, where he witnessed the aftermath of the Soviet collapse. He spent many more years back in the USA living on a sailboat in Boston Harbor and later in South Carolina. His books include Reinventing Collapse , which compares the Soviet fall with the prospective crackup of the USA, followed by The Five Stages of Collapse , and many books of essays. Dmitry moved back to his native Russia in 2016, citing a desire to return to his roots and to live in a country he felt was more stable and aligned with his values. He blogs at Club Orlov . The KunstlerCast theme music is the beautiful Two Rivers Waltz written and performed by Larry Unger
