I’m Pyotr Kurzin, host of The Global Gambit. I’ve spent years working across Africa and Eastern Europe with the World Bank and the International Crisis Group, and trained in strategic studies and economic statecraft at Johns Hopkins SAIS.
This isn’t second-hand commentary — it’s first-hand field and policy experience brought straight to you. Everyone has biases — but the only way to really grow is to test them, step out of our comfort zones, and avoid echo chambers. That’s exactly what this channel is for. Pyotr prides himself in engaging all sides.

Should the CIA play a bigger role in ending the Ukraine war?
Watch what Putin was really told: https://youtu.be/ONtf-baJEk0 as you might have missed it.

His secret trip to Moscow reveals the message now being delivered behind closed doors — that Putin’s war is failing and his position will only deteriorate the longer it continues.

He remains a master strategist.
