NPR, Russian American Identity, NGO Expulsions
An NPR segment features attorney Liana Zazulin discussing the "normalization" of Russia in the 1990s through U.S.-funded legal reforms. The hosts suggest these efforts were part of an NGO-led attempt to influence Russian internal politics, which eventually led Putin to expel such organizations during the Clinton and Obama eras.
