Russian political opposition panel Oct 5 2023

Russian opposition leader Vladimir Milov, former Russian Deputy Finance Minister Sergey Aleksashenko and political scientist Ekaterina Schulmann describe goals and challenges facing the Russian opposition in exile as it battles Vladimir Putin's Kremlin and his war on Ukraine. The second in a four-part series hosted by the Institute of Current World Affairs, American Purpose and the US Institute of Peace.

Vladimir Milov says: unite to try to Push Putin over? Fuck that! Our status as the opposition leaders of Russia is more important to us. So arrogant, it is disgusting.

[@КонстантинТарасов-к6щ]

Sergey is absolutely right. Don't be distracted with chauvinistic ideas and sanctions for pacific russian citizens. It will not help to win the war. Just highlight the necessity of military aid for Ukraine. Long range missiles and the rest. That's the point ☝️

[@greenmih]

It feels like Milov is happy with the situation that has currently going on: we are doing our projucts, but somehow nobody notices! Just leave us alone and let us do our projects. The only problem is, all those projects are minor - that is why nobody notices them.

Really appreciate Sergey's description of the reality of the issue, and his take on the division among liberal Russian media.

[@axelcity3949]

Agree. Glad they asked him to join the conversation

[@snwa404]

Brilliant speakers

[@wormball]

Vladimir Milov is not a Russian opposition leader, he is just Katz's hater.

[@lyubadron3134]

Sergey Aleksashenko bravo!))

[@greenmih]

OMG, I wish Vladamir Milov would feel some shame instead of continuing spilling dirt on someone with the same goals as him. He is the living proof of what the hosts of this show have mentioned - russian opposition fighting with each other. Maxim Katz has big following, Vladimir. You have to accept it once and for all.

Sadly we can hear these three simultaneously only on English. Their Russian speeches are even more passionate and humorous

[@siliqua4584]

It’s so sad we, Russian citizens, can’t even choose those who represent us abroad. Even our opposition in exile is so authoritarian. I just hate what Milov has said. So many people here stand for Maxim Katz’s idea, and Navalny’s team doesn’t want to hear us

[@ВиталяСтатив]

As a russian citizen inside Russia, I don't want Navalny team to participate in another one of Maxim Katz's opportunistic adventure. There is no value in politically uniting with people who doesn't understand "no" for an answer, and just want your media and other resources.

[@siliqua4584]

@@ВиталяСтатив I’m also a Russian citizen inside Russia. And I think our main goal to fight against Putin and the war, not against our opposition. The opposition need to work together.

[@lovegottaget]

@@siliqua4584 Girkin is opposition to putin now, do you want Navalny's team work with him too? the dumbest take

[@axelcity3949]

"Guys, do your job, be happy" applause!!

[@КонстантинТарасов-к6щ]

Vladimir is like a voice of wisdom and fresh air in all the agony and emotional discussions on media channels ❤

[@vaultsjan]

Sergey is the guy i would buy underwear if he needs some.

[@egorlikhunskii7282]

Vladimir Milov has a personal grudge with Maksim Katz. Thus, he is trying to rethorically deminish his suggestions instead of discussing them. Very upsetting. I believe that the upcoming election is an extremely important upcoming event (as Ekaterina and Sergey mentioned). Thus, joining forces and having a mutual coordination asap is vital.

[@PetrKuzmin]

Maksim Katz managed to antagonise half of the Russian pro-democracy opposition over the past decade and he continues to sow division in the most manipulative way possible.

[@Tabakhim]

Why you Katz's adepts always lie? Milov's position was pretty clear and concrete: "do something but talking, Katz! do something, and we will join"

[@egorlikhunskii7282]

Vladimir's speach is exactly like global warming - just too much water 🤔

[@ДмитрийСамарин-ж2и]

Инфо-мошенника Каца даже тут обсуждают😂😂😂
