Ritter on Russia’s Digital Life and Everyday Tech

A former US military intelligence officer, Scott Ritter, recent discussions with journalist Andrew Napolitano on Napolitano’s Judging Freedom YouTube channel explore how quickly service industries and information technology have reshaped urban life in Russia. The conversation highlights a country where digital systems are deeply woven into everyday routines, shaping not only how people work but how they travel, shop, and connect with others. Ritter emphasizes that in many Russian cities, technology-driven convenience is part of daily life, creating a sense of ease that reflects broad adoption of online services in the public sphere. This isn’t just about gadgets; it signals how technology is integrated into infrastructure, making city life more fluid for residents and visitors alike. The point is not merely speed, but the way digital tools become a natural extension of the daily experience across multiple sectors.
