Peter Hartcher on who’s next on Vladimir Putin’s hit list

When Alexei Navalny died last week in a remote Arctic penal colony, many felt that it signified the death of hope for a future, democratic Russia.
Because for nearly two decades, Navalny fought for fair elections, human rights, and freedom of speech; eventually rising to become Vladimir Putin’s most feared opponent.
Today, international and political editor Peter Hartcher, on Navalny’s widow, Yulia Navalnaya, who has vowed to take over her late husband's work. And whether she will be able to unite the fractious democratic movement within Russia.

[@boeinarsson5918]

Thank you for telling the true.

[@elenayakovleva8714]

I recall when Navalny was coming back to Russia in Ja 2021, lots of people gathered to welcome him at the airport. Russian authorities even did not allow the plane land in the destination airport, but after a couple of hours having the plane make extra circles in the air, re-directed the plane to another airport near Moscow... That was a show!

[@danahilp7981]

Yulia you are know Russians hope. Greatest luck and love for you.

[@willdon.1279]

I love the way the trolls are struggling with this - Assange, CIA, Gaza - any distraction. But we see you.

[@cindymaceda2999]

Yulia Navalnaya, do not return to Russia. We cannot lose you. 😢

[@Zaburi]

Strike me down and I will be more powerful than you can imagine!

[@Drew-do9wx]

Putin is so gross. He's truly a waste of space.

[@emmanuelaronie4847]

Bigger question. Whose list is Vladimir Putin on ?

[@frankshifreen]

mistaken bravery- Navalny should have never returned

[@jamesrussell1979]

Very interesting and very informative conversation 👍 👏 👌

[@adamrandall5967]

Mrs. Navalny Emulates Saint Olga of Kyiv✨🙏🏼☂️

[@r10000mips]

Excellent presentation by Peter Hartcher.

[@user-pj5tl5gf6l]

What a sad little life putin lives everyday

[@michaelougarezos8963]

well said Peter i enjoyed listening to your words.

[@marekrozkowski1786]

On July 16, 1918 Lenin ordered tsar's family execution and hid their bodies. Six weeks later on August 30, he was seriously injured in assassination attempt and never fully recovered.

[@els544]

Very good ❤

[@BROWNDIRTWARRIOR]

Akin to a Passion Play. Navalny returned to Russia knowing it would likely lead to his death but he did it emblematically for the salvation of the country. This man goes into the pantheons of great men. And what do you know, he's a Russian.

[@indybeth200]

This was a great interviewer--I appreciated how she let him talk without interruption. He had so much knowledge to share. Thanks for posting!

[@swan2736]

Excellent interview, very important questions and the responses are spot on, thank you very much.

The blood of the martyrs is seed. Not my words. Truth from someone in history far wiser than I am.

[@YvonneFoster-ss2ix]

🪦HE WAS A REAL GENUINE AND RIGHTEOUS GENTLEMAN.🫶🏻👍💪🏼

[@tuomohynninen]

Konstantin, Thanks for repetddly bringing up human reality and your personal way to take responsibility. Prays for good 🇺🇦 From my perspective the dream and new start since few decades of Russia has been destroyed by Putin. Long term reality of Russia is back again possibly worse than ever.Streght for all to fiight for all dreams and to fight against the satanic dream.

[@rolfbrowne8551]

No mention of Assange !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tominnis8353]

What a remarkably articulate, knowledgeable and aware interviewee. My respect goes out to you 100% sir. Thank you for your erudite and candid responses . . .

[@arthurchids]

Opinions and propaganda does not work in the modern world

[@bogi9358]

Where is "innocent until proven guilty" ?

[@jeremygibbs7342]

I think the ultime F.U. to Putin is to tell him Nevalny still lives. In every citizen that believes in a open and free democracy. Nevalny still lives.

[@judyweeks1480]

A vote for trump is a vote for Pootin.

Belarusian Maria Kalesnikava has not been heard from since 12th February 2023.She was sent to Gomel after campaigning against Lukashenko.

[@bertockhuisen3584]

To take the Lords name in vain, spoils the whole interview by the commentator.

[@user-wq4ju7uu7x]

Кого на западе приговорят- тот и будет. Не удивлюсь, если следующей будет жена Навального.

[@tomikola1864]

Now Yulia is the new CIA and or MI6.

[@markb8468]

"How does Donald Trump feel about this?" He's soooo jealous that he cant kill his political opponents.

[@thefarmerswifeknits6190]

Vladimir Kara-Murza.

[@neilbrown8659]

what about litvenecho died 😅😢

[@francidubruyn]

Trump is keeping his way open to have influence on Putin. He should not criticise Puten now because of future success of his talks with P.

[@marindoina3017]

😭

[@christianefiorito3204]

Who is next on the list: How about Boris Johnson?

[@fairyprincess911]

Thank you and please, continue to speak out loudly and most importantly, often!

[@EllisJeans]

He tried to destroy Russia

[@btjmrp]

Where is the evidence I am ashamed that an Australian source🚙. Why arn't you saying anything in support off Julian Assange, an Australian.

[@Eugene-rq8kr]

Who gains from his death? What's good of Navaly alive in the prison?

[@user-jr1bl6tc3k]

Putins enermies would make circle around the Kremlin

[@blueberry-ri7eb]

Why should the CIA care what happens to the Russian people

[@igorzaycew2137]

The ramblings of Kadafi's killer talk about murderers

Prayers for her.

[@mirandagaga9221]

God help 🙏 ❤

[@rolfbrowne8551]

CIA have blood on their hands as well

[@ar4122]

He didnt kill Alexei....he caused the birth of many many fans of !Alexei.

[@craigewing316]

Actually it's who's next on the CIA hit list.♥️🇷🇺👍

[@mitchyoung93]

Navalniy was literally trained at the uni from which the USA has traditionally drawn its top CIA leadership as part of the Yale World Fellows program.

[@user-kv3ww2gb2e]

Where is the proof?

[@Pppppp443]

First let the doctors have a final word.And who benefits most from this?,man was forgoten...What hapend with Gonsalo Lira,Asange,Snouden,Gvantanamo prisoners ....

[@ypure3859]

WHO WANTS TO BE A CITIZEN OF RUSSIA WITH THE CURRENT REGIME? ANY APPLICATIONS? 😂😂😂😂

[@valerierooney1299]

What a very interesting interview, thank you.

[@SarahMStone]

Excellent. Thank you so much.

[@AfanassievSergey]

Как насчет Гонсало Лиры..? Или это другое...?)))

[@carolwilliams8511]

An excellent chat. Really enjoyed and appreciate it.

[@MrRocketguitar]

Shoigu….

[@carolwilliams8511]

I like the fact that Alexei's wife is not inside ruzzia. She has access to media and information that he did not and could not have. From outside that evil empire she can rally the opposition and an informational war.

[@cindymaceda2999]

Poutine’s mansion is probably bullet- and bomb-proof. In case someone out there is thinking what I’m thinking. 😂😂😂

[@EllisJeans]

Him an the wrst3

[@EllisJeans]

Nato rian of terror

[@Karlopapa]

Thanks for the interview! Very illuminating.

[@willbygosh4887]

Vladimir Kara-Murza is probably next on Putins Hitlist.

[@candyhotlips1338]

Excellent interview.

[@SAGAWISIW30]

Its bad to kill one man... its animalistic ... but know a country that killed probably close to 30,000 but they are not called animals 0:57 ... how about the others that kill other people going against them 😭😭😭

[@L8-4A-D8]

I hope she does not return to Russia for the sake of her children, but also because I think she can make a bigger impact if she's alive. People who had no idea about Navalnys' mission and plight are all now interested and so this is the time for her to build her army of dissenters, within and without Russia.

[@jak6718]

Very brave woman also her siblings. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@raycoates7670]

the uk kills also what about the mi agent killed in hull and the man dead in a case with his hands tied up and then there was the man found hanging up a tree with his hands tied too and thats only the ones we know about

[@rockotter666]

Who is the interviewer, please?

[@larawalsh2296]

I remember when Trump said "This is genious" when Putin started killing in Ukraine. Evil.

[@johnderosa2276]

Stop the propoganda.

[@claudiogp2353]

Maybe Mr. Epstein or Netanyahu

[@leinam4164]

Who’s next

[@yummemys4608]

Navalny😂😂 when the CIA recruits you... You are already dead.

[@johnnygreen1376]

Great interview, strong home truths and Samantha is a good interviewer.

[@Patt12]

Nalvany wife

[@Ultranationalist987]

The Sydney morning Herald, you're Australian lady very impressed and i subscribed you channel one of the fascinating lady in this platform, you are pretty beautiful ❤

[@-Gramps]

First time viewer from Texas! Very nice guest; knowledgeable, superior communication skills, & no obvious subjective bias. Interviewer was well prepared, asked pertinent questions, & explored beyond current affairs. Always interested in what my friends in Australia think about this crazy world situation! You have a new subscriber! I guess I need to be grateful that the KZbin algorithm directed me to this channel. Best wishes to all!

What about genocide and thousands of Palestinians kids murdered ?

Who is next on Zelensky's list after Gonzalo Lira?

[@draganastojadinovic1303]

Thank you

[@slavicapiponska888]

❤ Russia

[@anastasiashilovskaya7477]

As a Russian person I'd say that about 10-15 % of people are against Putin... maybe slightly more... I was shocked to find out that I am a minority - especially it became obvious after Navalny death. a lot of the people who are against of the present regime are in despair, in shock. I hope that Yulia Navalnaya can represent the opposition in our country.

[@tatyanicktheone7387]

Thank you for covering this topic. Yulia is a brave woman who Alexei himself characterized as the more radical one in their family. So we're awaiting even more profound acts from Yulia, although she could just stay the widow of Russia's number 1 politician. Vladimir Kara-Murza and Ilya Yashin are next targets but there are other political prisoners who have been sent to jail being very sick and having diagnoses that do not allow a person to be in prison. But Russian authorities and court don't care to follow their own laws 😢

[@beverleyspugsandhomestead.]

Don’t you understand the sarcasm used by trump.

[@chrystya]

I thought she will return to Russia

[@racimegacar]

maybe Julian Assange, Gonzalo Lira?!

[@Butterfly-zs2pc]
