President Putin made a historical allusion to the Bolshevik-led revolution of 1917 on Saturday, reacting to news of the mutiny by Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin. How apt was the reference?

Also: Greece goes to the polls again for the second time in two months; and baseball makes its British pitch.

Audrey Brown and Tim Franks are joined by guests John Nilsson Wright and Olga Oliker. John is a senior lecturer in Modern Japanese Politics and International Relations at Cambridge University and Olga is based in Brussels, where she's programme director for Europe and Central Asia at the Crisis Group.
