A discussion by special guests
Jynks Burton and Steven Brown

Jynks Burton and Steven Brown joined the Peace Corps in Russia in 2000, beginning their journey with just two suitcases each. Seventeen years later, having built and sold two businesses, they left Russia with a shipping container - plus two kids and two cats. They will describe their adventures in living and working in Putin’s Russia over those 17 years.
