how should the west respond >> well, a couple of things in the specific case of vladimir kara-murza, there's been a push underway, including my institute and others who have been trying to bill browder notably, who've been trying to get vladimir putin designated under something called the levinson law that would just mean that the american envoy, special envoy roger carstens, that he can intervene on behalf of vladimir kara-murza. there's a big basis for that, but the biggest one is that he's a green card holder and his his wife and his children, his three children live here on the us for the others. i also think that the us government should, first of all, clearly punish somehow, even if it's just symbolic, the russian government for what they've done to alexei navalny and then work to try to get the others released. and we probably need to do it with our european and other allies and partners. there may be some kind of prisoner swap that can be negotiated will continue to watch it. obviously, evelyn farkas, great to have your expertise here today. thank you for joining. and of cour

if your friend vladimir kara-murza is someone that cnn has spoken to extensively over the years, and he is now in a russian prison and there is great reason to be concerned about his well-being. there was a russian island who defected to ukraine and ended up in spain. after over the last two years, who turned up dead in the last week. so there are people who think that russia's reach goes far beyond the borders of russia itself. do you fear for your own life? >> well, i very much do. this. the murder of alexey navalny, i think it's sort of opened the floodgates. if putin cares so little about what the west thinks about him. and he's ready to kill alexey navalny is ready to send out his assassination squads all over the world and kill all the people who are calling him out, who are his enemies? certainly high on that list as are other friends and compatriots here and you know, putin is truly a menace and i should point out is not just us who are at risk. >> i mean, if putin >> i don't think he'd hesitate to kill a western politician if that were to serve as purposes. i think that he's

terms of 25 years in jail as is navalny is now serving or 19 years as as my dear friend of the kara-murza is serving that simply didn't exist i mean those types of terms were for turn spies treasonous but you didn't need the term they just shot them so so that he he is now now it's much naked display of force but before remember agree i said that that the overarching goal of of putin's rule certainly two terms was to recover for state the new russia the geopolitical domestic political and economic assets that were in the soviet collapse. and so he proceeded very methodically his with what lenin called the commanding heights of the economy gas, oil, largest companies. and the message you were asking me how he's done it. the message after khodorkovsky arrest was to all the so-called oligarchs and tycoons, you don't own your businesses. you managed them on behalf of the state. sure enough, by your chateaux in france build yachts that that have swimming pools and, hockey rinks, built palace on lake como. but remember, this is this could be away from you at any time. and afterwards, course, th

person i think that we ought to be very mindful of who is there right now and his name is vladimir kara-murza. he is well-known in russia. he is well-known outside of russia among people who care about russia. and he is languishing in another prison. so i think important to watch what happens. but i think right now, the kremlin, there was no question is paranoid because they are going after average russian citizens for expressing any type of opposition to putin or to the war in ukraine. i mean, it ridiculous thing it's individuals are being arrested for merely liking something on social media. so i do agree with nina that there is a level of paranoia and when that happens in russia, things get very, very unpredictable. and i would say right now, it's a pretty it's a militarized place and would say increasingly repressive and even violent >> picking up on that. and i'll throw this one to you in terms of tying this to the presidential election vladimir milov, who was one of navalny's advisers, former deputy energy minister, told at told cnn back in december when navalny went missing that he tho

vladimir kara—murza is sentenced to 25 years in prison for treason. the beginning of the war, called putin a war criminal and a murderer, and then was arrested and sentenced to 25 years. he's also sitting in a jail cell in siberia in solitary confinement, like alexei navalny. and he won't survive. you have ilya yashin, who's another opposition leader who's serving eight years for calling the war a war. there's a there's a man named alexei goranov, who's missing a lung, who's in prison, who's dying in prison for nine years for calling the war a war. there's a bunch of vulnerable russian political prisoners that we could get out like we did in the soviet times. do you think putin would be ready to let them go in exchange for some russian spies that have been arrested in the baltic countries or whatever. i think that that that's possible and and that should be a priority right now, because who's going to run russia when the putin regime falls? do we want some weird fascist sentiment imminent? who knows? but but we have to have real people who are real op

crash after leading a short-lived rebellion against the kremlin >> imprisoned putin critic vladimir kara-murza says he's been poisoned at least twice and sent into a coma. boris nemtsov once one of russia's most outspoken opposition leaders, was gunned down on, on a bridge at the foot of the kremlin in 2015 on a polic cuff skier, a prominent journalist was a vocal critic of putin's regime in the wars in chechnya she was shot and killed in her moscow apartment building in 2006. then there were the former russian spies who putin saw as threats with emmer. >> putin has a particular beef with people he calls traitors, and he has gone after them in various parts of the world, including in london. in the case of a former fsb agent, alexander litvinenko as well as the attack on a former soviet double agent sergei script hall and the southern english city of salisbury in 2018, former spy sergei skripal and his daughter were poisoned and nearly killed in britain with the powerful nerve agent novichok, an attack which british investigators tied to putin in 2006, former russian intelligence agent alexand

vladimir kara—murza, the softly spoken intellectual sentenced to 25 years for treason.e as a country, as russia, we are going to prop up fascism. and the western world could ignore it, like ignore adolf hitler in 1938. maybe coincidentally, or maybe not, today marks the ninth anniversary of the murder of boris nemtsov. earlier, foreign ambassadors attended the site where the leading opposition politician was gunned down, just outside the kremlin. the us ambassador, here laying flowers, said the sentencing of oleg orlov showed the kremlin was dragging the country back into a dark, dangerous and isolated place. there's 600 or 700 at least, maybe 1000 political prisoners in russia today, it's very easy to get seized by individual cases. but any time i think any dealings with russia, we have to keep the political prisoners at the front of that discussion. throughout proceedings, oleg orlov sat with a copy of the trial by franz kafka. it tells the story of a man put on trial by an unknown authority for an unknown crime. oleg orlev knew who was prosecuting him and what crime

i want to highlight the case of vladimir kara—murza , another vladimir kara—murza, another oppositioniously poisoned by putin, who is in jail right now. vladimir is a dual british citizen , of course, as well. and citizen, of course, as well. and i would expect people to be redoubling efforts to save him from a similar fate given there has now been a track record of opposition leaders in russia being knocked off at various times by the putin regime . times by the putin regime. >> and of course, lastly, the presidential election set for march in russia . impact of this? march in russia. impact of this? well we knew that putin was going to win it anyway. >> and the idea that there's any serious opposition that's going to be allowed on the ballot. i mean, don't forget, in the past, navalny being navalny was stopped from being on people have on the ballot. other people have removed because they removed themselves because they know just a sham election . know it's just a sham election. of course, he's going to be re—elected because he going re—elected because he was going to the ballot reg

like vladimir kara—murza similarly by russia, similarly poisoned by russia, went to russia and thenbroad and is probably now in great his life because great danger of his life because of the if there isn't a strong response from the west that is actually meaningful to russia, what that means is that the russian opposition movement has been deprived just of the most prominent individual. he was treated a of figurehead treated as a kind of figurehead outside country for all of outside the country for all of these different groups. but there are still plenty of different people around the world actually like to world who actually would like to see change in russia. see political change in russia. they'll to find a new they'll have to find a new rallying point, a new focus, somebody that prominent somebody else that is prominent in media their cause. >> okay, keir giles from chatham house, good to see you this morning. thanks very much indeed. goes to show, i indeed. just goes to show, i mean, there's no black and white simple answer to this this simple answer to this one. this is whate

what this means in russia, what it means for russian, a putin critic, vladimir kara-murza, who has been poisoned twice, who is also serving time in a russian prison, who's security now, of course, will be a vital topic of conversation at the munich security conference and elsewhere. john and what it may be says about vladimir putin and how he feels currently about the world order, and how much of a backstop there is really against him, >> right now, michael chance to you the likely reaction inside russia, navalny, a hero in the democratic world, people look at him, they see his courage. clarissa was just mentioning what would alexey navalny do? alexey navalny went back to russia by choice after an attempted murder of him. apparently with the poison, which i'll keep shows to go back to russia to face prison there. but how is he seen inside russia? matthew yeah. >> we'll certainly there's no question over how courageous alexey navalny has been, not just in returning to russia after being poisoned, but in his concerted campaign over many years to expose official corruption i'm. at great pe

we also have to remember that especially for britain, we have a british national, uh, vladimir kara—murzay chance this chilling message that gets sent out here, stefan, is there any chance that anybody can possibly step up and be a legitimate political opponent to vladimir putin? they just always seem to end up dead and well, uh, back in, uh, the summer of 21, biden did warn that there's going to be severe consequences for russia if navalny dies. >> navalny has been killed. it isfime >> navalny has been killed. it is time for biden to step up something that perhaps they didn't do enough in february 22nd. it is their chance again. now one of the ways to do it is, is to use the sanctions that that, uh, america is putting on russia, increase those sanctions , but let people in russia, oligarchs in russia come out of them if they support ukraine financially , uh, they state it financially, uh, they state it and, and, uh, sway the opinion of those in russia who have the money, who have the ability to topple putin through , uh, topple putin through, uh, possible release , uh, of assets possible
