Vladimir Kara-Murza: “the future of Russia would be determined in the streets not at the ballot box.”

And we know from history how the appeasement of dictators ends. It always ends the same way.

Those who oppose Vladimir Putin`s regime risk not only their well-being and their freedom. They also risk their lives.

This regime that is empowering our country today, it's not just corrupt, it's not just kleptocratic. It's not just authoritarian. It is a regime of murderers.

[The] principle of ‘following local laws, no matter what they are’ provides a convenient excuse. But it’s just that: an excuse and a moral dodge.
