Dr. Muraviev is Associate Professor of National Security and Strategic Studies at Curtin University, Perth. He talks about how Australia's attitude towards Russia has changed after operations in Georgia and Syria, the annexation of Crimea and the crash of the Malaysian Boeing, and how during Putin's visit to Brisbane in 2014, Australia was alerted by Russian warships.
