    On this episode of Margin Notes, author and financial journalist Jason Corcoran talks to editor Simoney Kyriakou about the risk of having invested in Russia - and the risk to Russia itself as a result of Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine. Corcoran, a former FT Adviser colleague, joined Financial News as head of asset management before being sent to Moscow as their correspondent in 2006, before working for Bloomberg and others in the Russian capital.
