Bill Browder: The future of Russia after the war 

For an alternative perspective on the debate, Spear's Magazine sits down with leading international lawyer, Robert Amsterdam: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QWKRMKrl5ak.html

Bill browder is the most courageous man today. He should be nominated for the Nobel Peace prize if it has any meaning left.

Bill Browder is a very great man. Brave and highly intelligent. Definitely needs to be played by Stanley Tucci in any movie made about his life.

In a world of tankies like George Galloway and Russell Brand, it's nice to see someone who wants to stand up to the dictator.

It’s always easy to know what is right and what is wrong. People that have too much reverence for money are the ones that have a hard time doing the right thing. In the year 2000 I was running a construction company that I started in 1986. I turned in a person at a hospital that was demanding kickbacks. I had to wear a wire with LAPD recoding the payoffs as I made them at a restaurant I ultimately even had to testify in front of a grand jury. It was scary as I also had my life threatened and as happens to whistleblowers my company was punished by the very hospital we helped. We were not asked to bid work for 5 years. However, I’m glad I did the right thing as my 9 year old son saw the whole thing. My wife later told that if I had cheated with another woman she might have forgiven me but would surely have divorced me if I had gotten involved in the kickback scheme.

I have such admiration for Bill Browder, a business man, somebody who has made a lot of money and his ethics and awareness of human rights abuses are what matter most to him. Thank you!

God be with you Bill Browder.

The interviewer and a number of the questioners betray the moral squalor of too many in the financial community. A common thread was ‘how can we just go back to making as much money as possible without having to worry about how monstrous Putin and his henchmen are’. The objections to sanctions were particularly vacuous and intellectually bankrupt.

In my opinion the only really sane and reasonable voice in the midst of this horrible war.

Bill Browder is a shining light of intelligence and decency. 10x the man that bunker-grandpa pootin is.

Read all Browders books - really worth it👍🏻

Thank you very much, Mr. Browder, on behalf of all Ukrainian people. In 2009, I read about Sergey Magnitsky's tragic end of life. Then, I learned about you. Now, you are helping democracy stay strong. Best wishes to you! ❤🌍🙏🏻🕊️

Bill Browder has had the Russian scene pegged right from day one. To bad that the West was so slow to listen.

Thank you . Very enlightening speaker. Sorta restored my faith with sanctions.

Browder's position is both morally strong and logically sound. His point about the west reaching the position when it makes sense to deploy frozen Russian assets to the rebuilding of Ukraine was very well made.

"All that's required for evil to triumph is for the good man to do nothing." Thank you, and thank goodness for men like Bill.

I loved how Browder put the blase interviewer in his place in a cool, calm , collected way. I don't think I could have kept my temper like that.

Bill browder is doing a fantastic job with courage and smartness,i really hope and think he ca play a big role when times comes to rebuild russia to be a democracy,glory to him

Glad to hear bill Browder is fighting for Vladimir kara-murzas life.

A wonderful interview with many salient observations by Mr. Browder!

Wish I could hear it. Have my speakers way all the way up just to hear. Great conversation! Will be very interesting to see how our world shakes out in the coming months and years.

Excellent!!! Thank You so much for this!!!

can feel the tension in the room; seems the shoe fits most. thanks for speaking clearly about the realities on the ground and not sugarcoating to placate.

Refreshing having Browder stating the facts that have lead us to this. I hope Western governments take notice...we have willingly stepped into this nightmare because of our greed.

This is a real hero.

Excellent interview.

Hats off to Bill browder 🎩

Bowder is an excellent speaker! Smart and versed in the russian dealings! Too bad he is put in front of this guy who is utterly annoying and doesn’t seem to be knowing what the hell he is asking.

Thank You Bill ❤

I live in Austria and always get annoyed when people confronted with Ukraine bring up Iraq. Can't they really see the difference? The US conducted precision attacks on key areas and the actual war was over in a month or so. They did their best to avoid civilian casualties, as far as I know. Yes, the invasion was a mistake and they got into a quagmire with many victims and people kept fighting and dying for years to come, which is sad and terrible, but Russia is committing crimes against humanity in Ukraine, targeting civilians on a massive scale and committing atrocities, destroying nature and risking a nuclear catastrophe. The crimes committed in Iraq were exposed by US journalists and people were free to express their criticism from the beginning, while in Russia teenagers got beaten up by the police when protesting and now people risk years long jail sentences even for calling it a war.

'Maybe there's a talk here on asset protection schemes?' .... ouch Bill ouch you cheeky buggah!

Very informative.Thank you.

Brave Browder. Thank you for all you do! I hope American Congress folks will be as brave as you.

This guy is great to listen to. Clearly an intelligent man but then combined with a personal and compulsive commitment for justice for his friend. He probably thinks about ways to achieve justice and change for a bigger portion of his waking hours than most people, so he is definitely a voice to listen to on this.

Bill is my compass. Integrity inc.

Give this guy a huge ovation-cheers bill

Bill, you are a great man of integrity and honor. I want to help you anyway I can.

Bill Browder is fighting for a better world. Support him!

Bill Browder is a great American!

Thanks for posting. Mr. Browder's long history with finance, Russia and Russia's endemic corruption gives him a unique, detailed perspective on Putin, the oligarchs, sanctions, and proper responses to Putin's war. His efforts to pass the Magnitsky act formed a good baseline for the much more extensive sanctions following the invasion of Ukraine. The most disturbing comment was that about trump, It was bad enough when trump won the 2016 presidency through electoral gerrymandering. But even the thought of him winning in 2024 (it would have to again be via. electoral manipulations, not by the popular vote) is deeply upsetting.

Bill Browder is a hero, fighting the good fight against evil.

As unsettling as it may be to watch millionaires asking a billionaire questions about geopolitics, one has to find hope in Mr. Browders humanity and compassion. Especially notable is his emphasis on being nations of laws - which reflects both his values and his actions. Considering recent colossal financial sector scandals and bank collapses, we need to remain ever conscious of how our values should inform our actions, and that those actions reflect our values.

Thanks for an excellent interview

So what happened to that Oligarch’s money in the Swiss bank? 29:00 They just fired him? What does that mean, they released his money?

I admire and respect Bill Browder immensely. I have learned a great deal from him in recent years. I will listen to Robert Amsterdam’s perspective but I already know who I appreciate more.

Bill was great, also impressed with the moderator, appreciate the vid

Thank you for the insights, particularly about our government is, and has been complicit.

Good answers and good thoughts Dr. Bill .....

Both of Bill's books are the most exciting and informative books I've ever read, fiction or non - fiction. Compulsive reading from the get go.

Didn’t this guy take part in asset stripping/selling of national assets at massive knockdown prices?

I just noticed that Bill Browder and the writer Jonathan Franzen have almost exactly the same voice haha. Love them both.

Dear Mr Bill Browder, I admire you and are so proud of the difficult but wonderful tasks you undertake to help get rid of the russian regime and the bad ruskies, and at the same time help the ones in need! Thank You Sir!

The fact that people think this war is going to end is embarrassing

Russia has to sell its oil at a large discount due to the EU price cap (irrespective of the country buying). Also, it's not cheap and easy to ship the oil to India and China. So Russia is making only marginal profit out of the oil sales. Their production cost is quite high. It's surprising that Bill didn't mention this.

Thank you Bill,,,a real eye opener….!

Absolutely no regard for the human suffering and near complete demolition of most of Ukraine, when Ukraine could have peace any time..

Bill Browder is such an example, I can only support his mission. Thank you for the interview!

Freezing Order is one of the most thrilling and scary books I have ever read ! It portrays a system that is so evil it´s hard to understand such a thing exits today, but it does... This is why we must never seize to support Ukraine until they have won and we can get them into NATO.

Bad audio lads

great man - great interview

I never heard of BB before ( my bad) but wow, how educating was that ? Glad we’ve got people like that on our side. I do feel though that the further we live from Russia then the less likely we are to get informed. There are also many companies still doing business with Russia and I think that should be stopped completely, even if it means losing jobs in the west, but we somehow turn a blind eye. Slava Ukraine.

The interviewer was preoccupied with relativism, while Browder persisted with his focus on what's important. Putin's enablers materially aided and abetted their benefactor's gross transgression.

Bill Browded thank you for information

Very interesting, thank you:)

He is a very knowledgeable man

An inspiration.

Bravo! Klar und deutlich!

I have a friend in St Pete, Ru who says her life has not changed

This man has more moral fibers than a UK textile mill

a very brave and honourable man

Excellent 👍

I’ll wait to see.

Wonderful video. It should be broadcast everywhere.

God bless you Bill...Keep up the fight You (the World) will succeed!

Excelent speaker! 👍

Listen to this man. Smart thoughts

Scavenger, chased away from a foreign turf.

The future of Russia after the war is highly dependent upon who ‘wins’ the war.

If he is such a “expert” why was he “surprised” and “caught off gaurd” by the move against Putin?

Brilliant!

Great interview, great answers from Mr Browder. Just wish all the western leaders would watch it.

Excellent comments and perspective from BB, as usual. Courageous man.

Great man !!!

I read his book about ruzia, it’s absolutely amazing - I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to understand what ruzia is and who is mister pootin

Corruption is big in the USA also,or do you really live in a bubble?

Browder is a very, very wealthy financier, not a politician or normal person who suffers with a 30 % increase in power and general inflation of 8-9 %. Saying we should stop Russian supply of gas and oil is fine with him. It’s pocket money impact for him. He needs interviewers who hit him hard with reality.

Crickets in the audience over at Londongrad magazine for some of these lines about oligarch assets

100% agree with Bill.

Bill Browder lost a court case in the UK ,and the judge stated that his testimony was not creditable, ( a legal and overtly nice way of saying he's as liar)

Bill Browder knows more about this stuff than just about anyone and to anyone reading this, I highly recommend both of his books 'Red Notice' and 'Freezing Order' (starting with Red Notice). Both read like real-life spy thrillers and offer an exceptional view into the brutal nature of Putin's criminal regime told from the perspective of Putin's #1 most hated enemy, Mr. Bill Browder.

I really enjoyed that. What a great man. Feels good

Brilliant man

Good to get Stanley Tucci's take on the situation.

It’s so funny to see how the comment-trolls come out of the woodwork for any Bill Browder videos. Like, they come out hard.

It's so refreshing that Spear's Magazine and the interviewer are completely open and transparent about voicing the concerns of Putin's friends and supporters in Londongrad and The City. Finally someone is sticking up for the folks who've made millions or billions helping out Putin's regime and his cronies.

How can you say that there is rule of law in the USA while Julian Assange remains imprisoned?

Sanctions have worked? How much is the ruble worth today?

bring weapons, tell zelensky not to negociate and once all the ukrainians are dead, blame russia. bravo

You can almost sense the fog of shame in the room. Never mind, it’s all offshore now, so it can’t be touched.

Thank you so much, but please take the bottles off the table next time :) Greetings, Andreas
