Voting on Democracy in Venezuela and Russia

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 31, 2010
Voters went to the polls in Venezuela and Russia on Sunday. John Walsh, senior associate for the Andes at the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), and Stephen F. Cohen, professor of history and Russian and Slavic Studies at New York University and the author of several books on Russia, discuss the state of democracy in both countries and what role the U.S. can or should play in promoting democracy around the world.
