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.

    Kara-Murza should be strongly dissuaded from returning to Russia, otherwise there will have to be yet another prisoner swap.
  • @Ilya_Sss
    This person should have a rest, if he returns to Russia it will mean that Putin just got their killers for free. Not a good decision
  • @80-80.
    Highly intelligent man. He is a great candidate for President of Russia after the collapse of the regime.
  • @user-rh3yl7ip9c
    So joyful to see Vladimir Kara-Murza free and in good health and spirits! <3
  • @user-yz9dz4iw4s
    My goodness, Kara-Murza is the kind of person who reminds us that there is hope in a better Russia, a light in great darkness.
  • @MEMORIA1316
    I thought we would never see him alive again.
  • @WilkinsonX
    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.
  • @jeffsmalarz7943
    This guy is a model to human beings around the world. I hope he returns to a russia free from putin and his regime.
  • What a wonderful interview. So clear and well spoken after all his had been suffering.
  • Good to see him looking well, an articulate passionate Russian, what an example to all of us.
  • @davidk1493
    That Vladimir can speak with such clarity, intelligence, and courage after spending two years in prison is astonishing. He is truly one of the heroes of our age.
  • @robst247
    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.
