For some 20 years, Simon Shuster has reported from Russia and Ukraine. He speaks the language and he understands the history of the region, making him the ideal foreign correspondent to report on the lead up to the Russian invasion in 2022 and the subsequent war in Ukraine. This is not exactly what his folks had in mind when they emigrated from the former Soviet Union in the early 90’s when Simon was a boy, landing in the Bay Area. But it is in Russia and now Ukraine that Simon has realized his dream of becoming a foreign correspondent, writing “the first draft of history.”
