Paul, quoting your thoughts and insinuations about ex-Duma politician Gudkov doesn't make his words less valid. Video didn't make any claims or disapproval of honesty or lack thereof, you did.
Soviet and russian human rights activist and dissident Valeria Novodvorskaya, answering the question of what is needed to curb Russia and bring it to its senses, is a small country that can no longer threaten anyone on such a scale. No nuclear weapons. Before her death or assassination in 2014, she said: “Today’s password for free people is “Slava Ukraini!”, and the answer is “Glory to the heroes!” Please save Ukraine, and this is the only thing that can save Russia.” She believed that if Ukraine follows the Western path, this means that Russia will inevitably follow the same path. Ukraine, with Maidan and the expulsion of Yanukovych, chose the Western path of development. And this is dangerous for the retention of power by Putin and his gang, when an Orthodox country, where they also speak russian, rushes to the West and abandons the soviet past and the russian protectorate. This can become a contagious example. That is why Putin decided to start a war with Ukraine, so that it would not know calm days and would not be able to carry out reforms to join NATO and the EU. It's simple. Elementary Watson.
How many in your family and among friends, like in percentages, do you think honestly support Putin? Do you have any hopes for a future with a new President and a real democracy, where the rule of law is respected? Sorry if that's a lot to answer, if you would bother to. One very good thing about Russia seem to be the reemergence of Christianity after communism fell.

With Putin in power, it was impossible for him to win, but he was meaningful in the sense that he opened the eyes of millions of Russians to Putin’s corruption.
In fact Navalny was _seriously_ meaningful opposition. - Putin refused to even say his name. - Putin tried to poison him, then imprisoned him, then moved him to the Arctic, then had him murdered. - Putin's regime tried to prevent his funeral, and when that failed they sent police to oversee the mourners. - Tens of thousands of those mourners laid flowers at the grave for several days. - Putin's propagandists like Solovyov and Simonyan talk about Navalny. - Despite all this, now the web brigade trolls are out in force trying to say that Navalny wasn't serious opposition. Web brigade trolls literally have to be paid to say their falsehoods. When will the Ukrainian military realize that web brigade offices are valid military targets?
Maybe 20 million. Did you know that Zelensky's wife refused to go to Bidens state of the nation speech because she would have to sit next to Navalny's widow? Navalny was in favour of annexing Crimea so he is not a Ukrainian hero. This is according to the Telegraph.
He sounds like a boring old lawyer-bureaucrat, it's really boring, before the crisis in Ukraine I didn't even listen to his speeches, only since 2022 I had to figure out what was in a person's head when this nonsense with Ukraine began in Russia. It seems to me that in the West he is either demonized, or, on the contrary, glorified by other forces.

Lawyers represent the majority of American politicians, and all lawyers, as a rule, in all countries, from any place of work, the KGB, the CIA, the FBI, boring insincere formal speakers.

Soviet and russian human rights activist and dissident Valeria Novodvorskaya, answering the question of what is needed to curb Russia and bring it to its senses, is a small country that can no longer threaten anyone on such a scale. No nuclear weapons.
Before her death or assassination in 2014, she said: “Today’s password for free people is “Slava Ukraini!”, and the answer is “Glory to the heroes!” Please save Ukraine, and this is the only thing that can save Russia.”
She believed that if Ukraine follows the Western path, this means that Russia will inevitably follow the same path. Ukraine, with Maidan and the expulsion of Yanukovych, chose the Western path of development. And this is dangerous for the retention of power by Putin and his gang, when an Orthodox country, where they also speak russian, rushes to the West and abandons the soviet past and the russian protectorate. This can become a contagious example.
That is why Putin decided to start a war with Ukraine, so that it would not know calm days and would not be able to carry out reforms to join NATO and the EU.
It's simple. Elementary Watson.
Slava Ukraini!

The right question should be, do Russian believe N'ATO expansion is not their national security risks ?
Since NATO choose to stand behind AZOV ,I think Russian surely worry about that.
ps. They even brought an old one into Canadian parliament.
I'm from Russia. Naturally, we are well aware that NATO's aggressive expansion around Russia's borders has nothing to do with protection and democracy. This is exactly aggression in the interests of the US and UK authorities.

hmm but they will have general election in Russia next week.. you are aware of it ? be careful with mainstream media.. its like junk food for the brain. Furthermore i am pretty sure your definition of "democracy" is quite different from what we have here in the US.. you see here its quite seldom that the majority vote wins, often the winner is the candidate with less popular votes (due to electoral colleges etc). Last thing, his name is Putin not pootin@@maneshipocrates2264
Your report begins with nonsense: Navalny was neither up for election nor did he ever have the slightest chance of winning over serious sections of the population in elections. Putin, on the other hand, is a historical figure and a brilliant and strong leader who - unlike our elite in Europe - stands up for the interests of his people. If I were Russian, I would without a doubt vote for Putin.
Utterly laughable. Putin has literally killed tens of thousands of Russians, expanded NATO to include Finland and Sweden, brought on sanctions and is a corrupt, brutal kleptocrat.

When will the Ukrainian military realize that web brigade offices are valid military targets that their drones can reach?
In fact Navalny was _seriously_ meaningful opposition.
- Putin refused to even say his name.
- Putin tried to poison him, then imprisoned him, then moved him to the Arctic, then had him murdered.
- Putin's regime tried to prevent his funeral, and when that failed they sent police to oversee the mourners.
- Tens of thousands of those mourners laid flowers at the grave for several days.
- Putin's propagandists like Solovyov and Simonyan talk about Navalny.
- Despite all this, now the web brigade trolls are out in force trying to say that Navalny wasn't serious opposition.

I'm from Western Europe, and my views on Putin are more positive than negative.
I am Russian and I left my homeland because of Putin. It is easy to have positive views on a dictator while being far away from him and his henchmen.
Well, you from "Western Europe", can you tell me why this is? Why do you support a homicidal dictator? What possible reasons could you have to do so?
144 million people in Russia and 20 million don't agree with the war.. That's just pathetic..
Maybe 20 million. Did you know that Zelensky's wife refused to go to Bidens state of the nation speech because she would have to sit next to Navalny's widow?
Navalny was in favour of annexing Crimea so he is not a Ukrainian hero.
This is according to the Telegraph.
Does not Putin sound like Lenin or Stalin? What do you think? That's my take 😂
He sounds like a boring old lawyer-bureaucrat, it's really boring, before the crisis in Ukraine I didn't even listen to his speeches, only since 2022 I had to figure out what was in a person's head when this nonsense with Ukraine began in Russia. It seems to me that in the West he is either demonized, or, on the contrary, glorified by other forces. Yes, he boldly went against the collective West, but in speeches he is almost always the one who, according to his first education, is a dry lawyer.

@@mervinprone The KGB, the old Soviet counterintelligence bureau that was shut down by the Russian people when they overthrew communist rule over them in 1991, did not work in Russia and is irrelevant. Comical references to the KGB, Shows the weak level of the education system in the West.
In the KGB itself, there were specialists in various fields, field operatives, technical workers, and lawyers, like in the FBI, like in the CIA, Mr. Putin was a lawyer. Lawyers represent the majority of American politicians, and all lawyers, as a rule, in all countries, from any place of work, the KGB, the CIA, the FBI, boring insincere formal speakers. Mr. Putin has obviously tried to tell more truth than a standard lawyer-politician for 22 years, his intentions are open and obvious, for example, since 2005, he has consistently said that if NATO conducts operations to incorporate Ukraine, then there will be no Ukraine. Honestly and straightforwardly.

Putin is not going to end this war. Even though we know both sides would benifit from it. Do you know how difficult it would be for him to change directions. This would be like me changing directions on supporting Ukraine. Or calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Not only that with the statements both sides have made. It's not like both sides are slowly toning down their rhetoric and coming to a conclusion.
