And thank you, Vladimir, for everything.

Russian here (moved abroad a while ago, though). Bukovsky is really an interesting person. I watched many of his interviews in Russian and he opens up about many issues of modern Russian and he definitely has the right to speak - he served sentence for many years in soviet prisons and that's not fun. He will always be remembered. And in this video he actually predicted the course of the history. Ukrainians indeed elected much more anti-Russian presidents afterwards. And I don't blame Ukraine - it's their right. 30 years since Soviet Union collapsed and I hope that it will never be restored in any way - it was never a good country ;)

Even more relevant today than ever before.

Tatyana Todorova. October 27, 2019 Vladimir Bukovsky, a Russian-born British human rights activist and writer, died in Cambridge, United Kingdom. He was my like-minded thinker and my hero with whom we met in Petersburg many years ago. After his death, with pain in my heart I feel like if I became an orphan...the time has stopped, and the world became desolated..

Please, can you upload the entire speech? Thank you so much for this portion. Vladimir Bukovsky never did anything "by halves" as you well know. So we would very much like to hear the entire speech. Thank you so much

Он обо всем предупреждал, но его слушали слишком мало.

Black Book MUST not stand at all costs.....too damning so just LIE it out of hand. Very scholarly. Bukovsky got more integrity in one sentence than an entire essay from any Fabian.

The government is already starting to open up. The economic reforms over the last 20 years are promising

@CMTours732 The USSR is part of Russia's history just as insignificance is part of Sweden's history.

[@toqtaqiya]

@CMTours732 Russia is famous for winning World War II and space flights. Sweden is famous for lousy ABBA pop.

Bukovsky is an absurd watermelon.

Comrade, I apologize of course for the late comment, but what are you talking about? This comment makes no logical sense.
