SPUTNIK V
Why Russia's Vaccine Diplomacy Failed
ANIMATION
Sketch was commissioned by US think tank Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to produce an animation about the Russian Covid Vaccine. The objective was to get people up to speed on the development and distribution of Sputnik V, the COVID 19 vaccine developed in Russia very early on in the pandemic.

However, the Kremlin's plan to secure international influence through its vaccine diplomacy ultimately fell short. Here's everything you need to know about what went wrong with Sputnik V's rollout.
