Jeff Monson - MMA Legend & Anarcho-Communist Deputy Councilman

Published: May 4, 2020, 5 a.m.

I speak to MMA Legend, Jeff Monson about how an American ended up living in Russia and serving as a Deputy Councilman on the Krasnogorsk Duma. Jeff takes us through how travelling the world as a fighter led him to Anarchism. His journey through the Russian Communist Party which led him to the conclusion - 'there are no Communists in the Communist Party!'. His relationship with Vladimir Putin and the United Russia Party. Also how he intends to use his platform to help the poorest in society, especially children to break the cycle of poverty. I have a lot of respect for Jeff, he's willing to put ideology which he is very passionate about to one side to be pragmatic to solve problems. Great interview, a couple of slight audio fades.
