Wife of Imprisoned Russian Dissident Reacts to Navalny's Death | Amanpour and Company

One who understands the tragedy better than most is the wife of Vladimir Kara-Murza, an opposition politician who was sentenced last April to 25 years in prison for treason and other charges that he has denied. Evgenia Kara-Murza has been a prominent voice for the freedom of her husband, who last month was transferred to a new Siberian penal colony and is currently being held in strict isolation. Kara-Murza joins the show to discuss the death of Navalny and the fears it stokes for the fate of other Russian political prisoners.

[@hughjass6646]

As a long-time supporter of Navalny, I must now acknowledge that throughout all those years, he exclusively portrayed Putin as a thief and corrupt figure, rather than addressing him as a war criminal responsible for annexing Crimea and igniting the conflict in Donbas. Navalny completely excluded the Russia-Ukraine tensions from his agenda, while Kremlin TV propaganda dehumanized Ukrainians daily, indoctrinating Russians for an impending war. With this political shortsightedness, the pursuit of power, and appeasement of Crimea annexation sympathizers (i.e., the majority of the Russian population), Navalny unintentionally encouraged the transformation of Russians into fascists and the consolidation of Putin's rule. Ultimately, this is what led to his demise. Russian people never forgive attempts to love them. They only forgive tyrants
