Pyotr Kurzin | Geopolitics
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.
Half British and half Russian, I bring a Cold War lens to today’s conflicts and crises. Plenty of pundits sensationalise for clicks, but here you’ll get clarity and challenge. We all have 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. And if that resonates with you, then you know where to Subscribe!

Right now, Trump’s lackey Steve Witkoff, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and Chinese MFA Wang, are in the Kremlin, all waiting on Putin…
Europe, let alone Ukraine, are sidelined by US-China-Russia power politics and we return to ‘might is right’ doctrine.

Some (unlikely many) of you were keen to know when part 2 of my debate with Olga - the Russian Economist dropped https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uN_t....
On this point: an intention I've always had - and plan to expand on in 2026 - is engaging more dissenting perspectives than the ones we usually cover on the channel. There's plenty of channels whose preference is merely interviewing people and covering issues in ways that just reaffirm what they already think.
I can't do that. Confirmation bias is not how you grow and improve.
And that is more critical than ever in this international disorder and growth of AI, disinformation and polarisation. So l choose to engage, with constructive intentions.
That said, l am curious if you support this and if so, what extent? And most of all, for you to comment below the names of people you'd like me to engage.
