Boris Nemtsov is the former Deputy Prime Minister of Russia. He is now considered to be the leader of the "loyal opposition" to Prime Minister Putin. When President Obama visited Russia, he spent time with Nemtsov and gave a speech to an economic forum that Nemtsov was a part of (ironically, that speech was not carried on national television there).
Nemtsov is a compelling presence and is worth watching on the video from Zakaria's interview with him (site location attached). Listen especially to what he has to say about "corruption" as part of doing business in Russia.
If you have an interest in "macroeconomics", Zakaria also interviews President Obama's Treasury Secretary on the worldwide economic crisis and where it's going...Zakaria does a better job of explaining what did happen and what will and will not happen than Secretary Geithner does.
But my primary recommendation is that you listen to Nemtsov. He is exceptional.

It will be interesting to see where the money from commodity price increases goes, as it will determine Russia's future.
