Compliance Into the Weeds

A Ukrainian Compliance Professional-Tim Khashinov-Batirov

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week, Matt and Tom visit with our Ukrainian colleague Tim Khashinov-Batirov. Tim is well-known in the worldwide compliance community as Compliance Man. He is currently a refugee in The Netherlands at the time of this recording. In this episode, Tim talks about his escape from Ukraine, what life has been like as a displaced person in Europe, the current and burgeoning refugee crisis and some things that we in America can do right now to help those still in Ukraine and those who are refugees. Other topics we consider include:

·      How the bonds of brotherhood between Russia, Belarus and Ukraine may have been permanently destroyed?

·      What do ordinary Russians think about the invasion?

·      Armies like companies run on culture. Why and how has the corruption in the Russian Army hollowed out its culture from the inside?

·       The leadership of President Zelensky and his impact on the Ukrainian people.

·      The negative leadership of Russia President Putin.
