The destruction of this $20 billion pipeline severed a major artery of Russian gas supplies to Europe, disrupted economies and triggered a manhunt that strained relations within the NATO alliance.</p>\n<p>In this episode, journalist Hannah Lucinda Smith speaks with <em>Wall Street Journal</em> Chief European Political Correspondent Bojan Pancevski about his investigation into this seismic act of sabotage. </p>\n<p>Despite capturing the imagination of millions, the mystery of who blew up the pipeline has so far gone unsolved – was it the CIA? Was it part of the shadow war between Russia and the West? Could Putin himself have been behind it?</p>\n<p>Drawing on years of reporting and access to intelligence officials, investigators and key players, Pancevski reconstructs the events behind one of the most consequential acts of sabotage in modern history. </p>\n<p><strong>Bojan Pancevski</strong> is Chief European Political Correspondent at <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>. He is the author of <em>The Nord Stream Conspiracy: The Inside Story of the Explosions That Shook the World</em>.</p>\n<p><strong>Hannah Lucinda Smith</strong> is a journalist and foreign correspondent reporting on global politics, conflict and international affairs.</p>\n<p>If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.</p>\n<p>For £4.99 per month you'll also receive:</p>\n<p>- Full-length and ad-free Intelligence Squared episodes, wherever you get your podcasts</p>\n<p>- Bonus Intelligence Squared podcasts, curated feeds and members exclusive series</p>\n<p>- 15% discount on livestreams and in-person tickets for all Intelligence Squared events </p>\n<p>... </p>\n<p>Or Subscribe on Apple for £4.99:</p>\n<p>- Full-length and ad-free Intelligence Squared podcasts</p>\n<p>- Bonus Intelligence Squared podcasts, curated feeds and members exclusive series</p>\n<p>…</p>\n<p>Already a subscriber?
