Vladimir Kara-Murza vows to return to Russia after prisoner swap

Vladimir Kara-Murza, a dual British-Russian citizen, was freed after a historic prisoner swap between Russia and the West.

He had been held in a Russian prison for two years, much of it in solitary confinement, after being handed a 25-year jail sentence for treason.

The charges were seen as politically motivated.

  1. Honestly, I am afraid that he'll endup just like Navalny if he returns to ruzzia … I can understand him, but…

  2. Putin wont be in charge of Russia forever what he leaves behind however is gonna be something similar to Venezuela or something he can return to.

  3. Why would the “Russian opposition” be rescued by the west?
    Were they sponsored by the west?
    Just imagine, Trump being imprisoned and then being rescued by Putin…the scandal!
    If he wants to comeback, he must be suffering from Stockholm syndrome, or utter stupidity.
    The whole thing is a travesty and I doubt this poor fellow is going to die out of old age, unless he does what Medvedev suggested 🤷🏻‍♂️

  4. Can't he find a better way to fight effectively against Putin? Being a political prisoner in a Russian prison is deadly and ineffective!

  5. I am extremely glad they were saved. I think what Me. Kara-Murza stated abt the value of human life being the most important factor in a democracy can not be dismissed and wholeheartedly agree

  6. Kara Murza is a very bright and courageous man….I do hope he can return to Russia as a free man in Russia. Also Mr. Putin has a bit of a surprise coming his way that he will have no answer for….he hasn't the vocabulary.

    Cheers ✌ 🌎

  7. Kara- Mira not a hero he betrayed Russia for many. I am shocked why people make from bed person a good person. What about Julian Assange?

  8. Vladimir Kara Murza is one of the biggest patriots of Russia. He is one of the most educated and eloquent Russian I have ever known. Hope he rejoices with his family and enjoys the freedom. He will be back once Putin’s regime goes bye bye…it will be soon 👏♥️

  9. He’s sounds remarkably coherent for a man that’s just spent 2 years in a Russian gulag. I’ve never heard of Kara-Murza before today, but he seems like a tough ol hombre.

  10. If the Russian's caught him in an espionage sting & didn't let him go shortly after they must have had something on him? After all, isn't Russia a DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY just like the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

  11. well boy, human lives hey? wasn't it so that there was an agreement all ready to go through about 1 month after the start of russia's special military operation and WHO (Boris Johnson) WENT AND PERSUADED Z NOT TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT, which said that Donbas area should be selfgoverning within Ukraine (just like it was laid out in the 8 previous years in the Minsk agreement, but that was just a smokescreen to keep Putin calm WHILE FROM2014 ONWARDS UKRAINE WAS GETTING TRAINED BY NATO AND GOT WEAPONS TO PREPARE ITSELF TO BE A STRONG OPPONENT OF rUSSIA) This is what Angela Merkel let slip !!!!!!so why all that preparation and hyping up of Russia hatred from2014 onwards???? not in preparation for a war that USA has been dreaming off for years???????
    So after all this time Ukraine by now has lost half a million soldiers dead, and likely more than a million wounded.disabled etc…FOR WHAT????BECAUSE NOW THEY WILL NOT GET DONBAS ETC BACK; the civilians of these area had a referendum and voted to become Russia – and whereas before russia had tried to keep the areas within Ukraine- now it has committed itself to thesepeople being inside Russia country….
    Everything gets twisted upside down. Unbelievable how many people got totally bambouzled by the propaganda and hype and now just are uncapab;le of listening to some hard reality facts because they are so badly zombefied without even realizing it.

  12. For those of us who feared that Vladimir would die a lonely, miserable death in Siberia, it is wonderful to see him alive, well and free. Russia needs men of such great integrity and fortitude.
