The Global Gambit
Pyotr S. Kurzin
Geopolitics, war and the global economy, decoded by an insider. The Global Gambit is the podcast on Russia, Ukraine, China, Iran, the US, sanctions and foreign policy that tells you what’s really happening: who is winning, who is bluffing, and what comes next, before it hits the headlines.
Hosted by geostrategist and economist Pyotr Kurzin, The Global Gambit now pulls in more than 10 million views a month across YouTube, podcasts and Substack. It’s where generals, spy chiefs, senators and the world’s sharpest minds come to say what they can’t say on the evening news. Guests have included General David Petraeus, General Ben Hodges, General H.R. McMaster, Sir Lawrence Freedman, Senator Mark Kelly, Ken Roth and G. John Ikenberry.
Pyotr doesn’t analyse the world from a desk. Anglo-Russian and fluent in Russian, he has worked inside the UN, the World Bank and International Crisis Group, briefed diplomats, interviewed rebels, and done fieldwork from African conflict zo
