      Anyone who’s watched like any documentary on Russia in the past decade recognizes this guy. He’s insanely intelligent, morally grounded, and incredibly brave. Honestly, I wish he was the leader of Russia. I’ll dream.

      This interview was awesome. The way he speaks about seeing his family tomorrow is pretty touching.

        Unfortunately, he’s not very well-known in russia, predictably, it’s a broken society.

        PS: but let me add that this is a reflex of the Gorbachev and Yeltsin years, where the hopeful population got deeply disillusioned with an ineffective idealist with his heart in the right place and a forced liberalization led by someone who was not up to the task, then followed by a putin who used this chaos to play the saviour to kill/imprison/exile/coopt the opposition and gain full control.
