Misha Glenny worked as a journalist in Eastern Europe during the Cold War. He believes that by listening to the 麻豆社, people in communist dictatorships were able to challenge the version of history being offered by their leaders. Now, as the 麻豆社 World Service announces an expansion of its services into North Korea and Russia, Glenny says it is an opportunity to offer objective information.
