Irina Filatova is a Russian history and political science professor who moved to SA in 1992 to take up a post at the University of KZN - but remains closely in touch with her homeland and fellow Moscow University faculty and students. Author of half a dozen books, including acclaimed The Hidden Thread: Russia and SA in the Soviet Era (with Apollon Davidson), she is our go-to expert on all things Russian. Once again she delivers a rivetting interview here, providing superb context on the ructions in Russia and what impact the weakening of Putin will have on his South African acolytes in the ANC, EFF and SACP. After the interview, the Prof noted that had she said any of this in her former motherland, she'd have broken many laws and probably been jailed. She spoke to Alec Hogg of BizNews.

Impact on SA (and Putin's local fans) of ructions in Russia - Prof Irina Filatova

Irina Filatova is a Russian professor who moved to South Africa in 1992 when she joined the University of Durban-Westville, now part of the University of KwaZulu-Natal. In this fascinating interview with Alec Hogg, the two explore the communist movement in South Africa and how it ties in with the Soviet Union. Filatova says the ideological influence of the Communist Party on the ANC leadership cannot be disputed and is evident if one goes through the ANC documents. Filatova is an accomplished author with seven books and many other publications to her name. Her last book The Hidden Thread: Russia and South Africa in the Soviet Era  explored relationships between South Africa and Soviet Russia and won the Recht Malan Prize for Best Non-Fiction book of 2014 at the Media 24 Literary Awards.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Irina Filatova: SA’s future? Not the Moscow fantasy.

Irina Filatova is a Russian professor who moved to South Africa in 1992 when she joined the University of KwaZulu-Natal. In this fascinating interview with Alec Hogg, the two explore the communist movement in South Africa and how it ties in with the Soviet Union. Filatova says the ideological influence of the Communist Party on the ANC leadership cannot be disputed and is evident if one goes through the ANC documents. And it’s no coincidence Filatova is married to Rhodes scholar, Oxford don, author, journalist and political scientist RW Johnson. On Biznews we have spoken extensively about his book, How long will South Africa survive? which has topped the country’s best-selling non-fiction list for well over a year. The dinner discussions must be extremely insightful.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
