    This woman is such a badass. To do this interview, voicing her objections against Putin's decisions and actions. Mad respect. I truly hope nothing happens to her after this. Dear nice Russians, protect her at all cost. Hope this doesn't escalate anymore. The regular people of Russia do not need to suffer. War is dumb.

    Good interview Fareed, I really appreciate it when interviewers ask good questions and then let the interviewee answer at length and don't interrupt till they're done.
  • Russians should vote Ekaterina Kotrikadze into power. What an amazing world this would be.
