Welcome! This is my second channel, for casual in depth conversations about the political challenges we all face in the 21st century.
I’m a philosopher. My academic life focuses on the concept of freedom and I'm writing a book about Isaiah Berlin. I'm a British citizen living in London. I was born in Soviet Russia - I left before the collapse of the USSR. I continue to closely analyse Russian politics.
Check out my main channel: Vlad Vexler. I also have specialist channels: Vlad Vexler Philosophy and Vlad Vexler Music. I do some work in musicology.
My content is informed by my experience living with a debilitating neurological condition. I contracted it 20 years ago as a research student at Oxford. For years, I couldn't walk, talk or read. I manage this condition daily and it gives me a unique perspective on disability, the tragic element in life, as well as the beauty.
