Boris Nemtsov: “People are tired of Putin. When he announced he would run for president in September in order to rule for another 12…”

Putin must justify his grip on power somehow.

Attempts by some in the West, including in the United States, to adopt a realpolitik approach and to conduct 'business as usual' with the Putin regime contradict the most basic values of democracy, human rights and the rule of law.

I think that opposition leaders must fight inside the country, not outside.

With Vladimir Putin's return to the Presidency in May 2012, Russia's authoritarian regime has transitioned to a new stage of development.
