Londongrad

Londongrad: How the Lebedevs partied their way to power is a 6 part series investigating two men – who are at the heart of the story of Britain opening its doors to Russian Oligarchs. Alexander Lebedev is the man with the money and - as we’ll see - with the plan. Alexander’s son, Evgeny, rose from a fixture on the social scene to a seat in the House of Lords. He did it with Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s help and against the advice of the security services. There’s never been a story quite like it. Londongrad launches Thursday 2nd June with a new episode each week, but Tortoise members and Tortoise+ subscribers on Apple Podcasts get exclusive, early access to the first three episodes.
