The Putin Files: Vladimir Kara-Murza 

The man is so very articulate and I've gone back to the interview again and again.

So he was educated in London. You could kind of tell by how elegantly he speaks. What is his background and where is he now? I did not know him before watching this interview and now I feel I know everything about recent Russian history and politics. Impressive! This guy is brilliant! He should be president of Russia!

@@kevinbaublitztutor2075 Me too. I think this is my third go of it.

Thank you for sharing these memories. Very cool!!!

Thanks for sharing that connection you had with him it is very interesting and confirms what we all saw in this interview this man is a powerhouse and that makes him a Target on Putin's dart board.

🕊🤍🇺🇦🕊🤍🇺🇦 stay safe

Bless you and your future.

Russian people have so much to offer the world- it’s unfortunate that your current government works so hard to suppress that. I’m glad that you’re seeking out this information.

whose names

It’s almost like your crooked government succeeded in keeping him quiet within Russian borders.

I agree this guy is very sharp very perceptive knows his subject inside out and is making great points. I really appreciate that Frontline put this series together it has been fascinating and I am going to watch all of the interviews. The timing is especially important because of Putin's attempt to weasel his way into Ukraine to steal more of their land. Seeing how the Russians allowed their nascent democracy to be undermined makes me all the more determined to rescue our own democracy which is under a similar attack with the Republican party I'm sorry to say.

@@refuge42 I know many Russians and they are smart, educated, and well spoken. I must point out that our constitutional republic is constantly under attack by those on both sides of the aisle. I'm not talking about a nefarious, clandestine conspiracy but rather by the rejection of America's foundational principles.

April 2023: He's just been sentenced to 25 years in jail by the Russian court.

well others would disagree he got sentenced to 25 years

At first I found myself rating interviews and I put Julia Ioffe at the top and then I heard him speak and I matched him with her and then I heard numerous other speakers talking with the same clarity and conviction that they both spoke with and there was a theme that everyone agreed to. Putin is off balance he is on a mission and he is more dangerous now than he was back then.

He was just arrested by Russian authorities :(

POISONED TWICE ARRESTED JUST A FEW DAYS OGO THIS GENTLEMAN IS 🔥✨FOR THE PUTIN REGIME VLADIMIR KARAMURZA A TRULY RUSSIAN HEROE

I agree.

Same, cant stop. I lived under the CCCP Irondome, we fully understnad why everyone moves away from Russia.

Genuine.

This and julia Ioffe

I really feel for his loss (and the world’s loss) of Boris Nemcov. I’m going to have to study up on him. I feel presently that Russia deserves so much better than this pretender, this manipulative goon who is dragging the whole of their country down so that he can exact revenge on Ukraine for being brave where he could not.

colette s Colette s, sorry I disturbed your world, you must be a fan of Sean Hannity's type of pseudo journalism.

YES. And you know how coherent and crystal clear accurate it was when this man has had 2 assassination attempts on his life. Using similar nerve agent as the unsuccessful assassination attempt on Alexei Navalny

imo , I think Putin sits super far away at the table now , because he is scared of nerve agents , of getting poisoned by someone . Because he is guilty of doing it himself . And the history of this happening to dictators . What a way to live , huh? In constant fear of being killed . Yet all he had to do was to respect others and trust others . He is not capable of compassion . He is psychotic, obviously . He seems to me to have a severe need for the world to see him as an all powerful leader . He wants to go down in history. Like this man says . His goal seems to be to be seen as the greatest most powerful leader of Russia . The problem is , that people don't like tyranny . And so they will fight back . These men seem to be obsessed with others seeing them as saviours . Yet they want to save only an idea , an ideal that is a fantasy , it is unrealistic . I suppose its like the delusions of many normal folks wanting to save the world single handedly , but it cannot be done .He needs a couch and a shrink at this point . which will never happen . Unless he accidentally gets struck by lightening and becomes an autistic savant possibly , I don't see him shaking this Messiah Complex anytime soon . He may not be religious officially , but he does think very very highly of himself as possibly a chosen one to lead . I would call him a paranoid delusional psychopathic and somewhat schizophrenic man . Of course he is bonkers . How else can you bomb hospitals with women and children in them . Now what can we do to capture him and take him to get his brain washed out of these crippling belief systems that drive him ? Why are we always allowing the most vile nut jobs to become leaders in the first place ? I only blame it on our taking the eyes off the ball . we are so distracted and occupied in our own little worlds , that we cant function well enough to know the difference between good and bad leaders . Between the corruptible , and those who have the interests of its own citizens , its own people who should pay attention to whom they choose to elect .

Did you see the episode with Yevgenia Albats?

He is in the gulag for being a traitor to mother Russia

​@@DjokovicTheGoat In what way is he a traitor?

It is chilling and here we are...

@@annkorit6322 He's NOT a traitor.

​@@DjokovicTheGoat It's quiet chilling that there seam to be still people in Russia that truely believe this. Very sad.

Unfortunately, he probably died in prison, along with Navalny and everyone else that had the moral courage to return to Russia and speak truth to power.

He and Navalny has been poisoned and jailed before. First time?

He just got sentenced to twenty (20) years in prison. He'll mysteriously hang himself, just like Navalny...

People like him are nothing more than false hope. He should’ve said one thing only: Putin is dictator and I need help to take him down. Now he will rot in prison for the rest of his life. For what? You can’t beat a dictator with liberal tools, brute force is the only option

25 years ffs 😢 Respect to all the Russians who stand up to the monster in charge

I completely agree and have been encouraging and advertising this series called Putin's files on Frontline to as many people as I can. Putin truly is dangerous and now that he has failed to take over the Ukraine he's even more dangerous. Next event throwing everything he can at the Donbas region so that he can claim a big win for May 9th.

Everyone now knows this and piles of military hardware are pouring into Ukraine and in support of the Russians because the Chinese have just flown six C-17 type heavy lift planes into the region ostensibly to supply the Russians. As creepy as that is it makes sense they would do it. Their version of f you to the West you're going to support Taiwan we're going to support the Russians, who by the way are the bit players in the real drama which is between the United States and China.

BINGO THAT!

Охладите ваш антисемитизм, батенька

what an insightful comment. reported your russian troll ass

Emily Krahn yes he is quite articulate, speaks English almost without an accent, and quite knowledgeable.

Yes those trolls are everywhere. This man is so articulate-very revealing interview on Putin!

colette s, are you even slightly aware of your bullshit?

I love ❤️ his voice , Russia 🇷🇺 is lucky to have him , so heartbreaking 💔 about Boris .

😢

true

This man is a beacon of hope for Russians who know damn well how corrupt the system is in Russia. They are brainwashed since birth, I saw a video of toddlers dressed in full military attire here on RU-vid today.😢 No freedom in Russia and those rare few true Russians trying to better their country are poisoned, shot or face decades in prison for trumped up charges. These few men are heroes of Russia Putin is terrified of people speaking the truth. 😢

It is sad, but i believe he wanted it, he wanted to show the world what an asshole Putin really is. There will be one day where people like Murza will be freed and forever be remembered as heroes, maybe he will also become the president of Russia one day, with that in mind perhaps his saccifice is understandable.

he was sentenced but never in prison in any colony serving it. He disappears.

@@MT-2020 glad that he did, he likely fled to a neighboring country good for himm

Just like Julian Assange

Yes, he reminded me and all of us that it is universal in our western world that if you don’t accept the construct of the free world, you shouldn’t be allowed to play in it or enjoy any of its spoils.

Народ это женщины от 45 лет.

Someone replied that this man died. Apparently, he is still alive. However, his father has passed away.

Read Bill Browder's books, Red Notice and Freezing Order for more information on Kara-Marza. He was arrested in Moscow on 11th April 2022.

@@SueFerreira75 Thank you.

hi hi this

birq

PBS is about to come out with another one next week. These are not even that old - 3-4 years? After the "Russia meddling in the election" scandal

@Sofia Well said.

Will put Sophia and I agree. What is strange is how prescient these interviews are.

appears to be genuine? Please tell me you don't go with "gut" reactions to people or you will fall for every con person...they are the best liars. Everything this man says can be verified. Whether you like or dislike his personality should never be the issue. He is telling the TRUTH. THAT is what matters.

WHERE IS THIS VIDEO I MUST SEE IT

Many Russian opposition leaders, or Russians, in general, were/are similarly brilliant, proficiency in foreign languages included. Nemtsov, for instance, before becoming a politician was a promising physicist. Intelectual potential has always been huge in Russian nation. And that is why this barbaric and idiotic war, which many Russians seem* to support, saddens me even more. * seem, since surveys aren't reliable in a system where "wrong" answers are being penalised.

@@wk-ys4gt Well, he and Navalny have elite Western educations. I should hope they can speak English. It's easier than Russki.

Very true, a commendable statement. Mr. Kara Murza is unfortunately now in a gulag. Had the EU seen this PRO DEMOCRACY specialist as an opportunity he would be a gift. Now in a gulag. WHY ISN'T THE UK GOVT MAKING PLANS TO REPATRIATE KARA MURZA?

The "dirt on Clinton" was for the benefit of the Trump campaign, not the Russians. So, it was "about" both.

Did the Trump camp fall into a trap, looking for Hillary dirt? I mean, when I listen to the pretext for the meeting in Trump tower, they said it was about adoption. Well I guess it’s technically true, but entirely irrelevant next to the possibility that the Magnitsky Act was their target. “Tell him we want to meet about his kitten.” (Pause) “His kitten?” “Yes, his new kitten we are dangling over vat of acid and will drop if he doesn’t get rid of Magnitsky Act.”

Oh wait the meeting at Trump towers was a nothing meeting didn't want anything they talked about orphan babies it has to be true because Donald Trump Jr said so! 😂😂🤔

@@robertborden2666 So how does Pres. Trump become a enabler or Putin's desire for revenge? What actions and when please : I see no evidence here on any where else:

@@leebranch579 I don’t think that’s the point I was making but just look to the rhetoric by Trump to weaken the solidarity of NATO and Putin couldn’t have wished for a better set of circumstances. He wouldn’t even stand by his own intelligence community that knew meddling in the election was Russia and he couldn’t confront that. Putin would have been foolish to push any harder at that point because this was removing boulders he expected would remain in place far longer.

Yep. Big US business would _looove_ him. This is the guy who thinks Yeltsin-the-drunk-who-sold-russia-to-foreign-interests will be remembered fondly by history.

He would turn the country back to the old Yeltsin shithole.

Well said.....

Kevin - What exactly is the name of that prescribed medication, you are supposed to take?

Isn't Magnitsky intended to restrict those who violate human rights and for whom U.S. law has no reach?

Russia has some amazing people who represents the country well, they are needed for a better future.

Putin’s thugs wear lace panties.

for sure he isn't just too much cocaine

3 times poisoned and survived but it wasnt radioactive poison. Only Alexander Litvinenko got poisoned by radioactive substance in his tea. He did not survive.

No fear, also, it wasn’t radioactive material that poisoned him, because otherwise it would’ve killed him, because radioactive material is highly lethal.

Are you one of those spoken about in this Frontline series, the Russian hack who spreads fear and disinformation? Putin has yet to face is nemisis (it would be hilarious of it was Austin Powers, but politics is not that funny, as of yet) and someone has to pick up the pieces of the Russia he destrpys. That could be Mr Kara-Murza and the reason he survived three poisonings. For sure he survived till now because his purpose has yet to be fulfilled. I love this man's logic and reason: the hackers of this world could use a dose or two of both.

23:00 heavy breathing explained

Putin's a paranoid self-centered murderous idiot. Time to take him and his entire Soviet-styled regime down for good.

They won't. They have no shame. No empathy. No brains.

yup that vladimir putin is one poisonous human being

I think autocratic countries give birth to some real heroes. People who have no fear like Alexei Navalny. The leaders in the West have to start working with them, not with their corrupted governments.

navalny for president of the russian federation ,his heart is in the right place

🧡🙏🏼

Twice.

Yeah, and i noticed what i'm guessing is an intubation scar at the notch down his neck.

After I realized he was poisoned and his best friend and mentor murdered, every labored breath said to my ear, “we’re coming for you, Putin.”

Can we make Independent Journalists (and Scientists) heads of State now?

Also a NED tool, but think what you will.

@@frederickhartray8364 And you are acting as Pootin's troll but just keep going.

In "that" country.... what country do you mean?

@@TampaDave I think he means the country being studied by an administration of a different country: someone like Vindman on the U.S. National Security Council. Peace.

You truly are a gullible simpleton. Baruch Nemtsov was part and parcel of the Jewish establishment, having amassed a billion USD in cash alone and ruled the city of Nizhniy Novgorod, which he turned into a crim-ridden hotbed. Under his yoke crime and destitution ran rife, and shmucks like you made him their patron saint.

@@morislaguerta4415 "...the Jewish establishment..." - the spectre that haunts Nazis of the past and the present. Dare I ask, is your swastika gold-plated or diamond-encrusted ?

He has blood over his whole body he's drenched in blood and appears to have some sociopathic death wish we need to be careful because he is a cracked nut.
