Vladimir Kara- Murza on His Arrest, the Attempted Murder of Alexei Navalny, and the Growing Anti-Putin Movement Inside Russia WTH is going on in Russia? Vladimir Kara- Murza on his arrest, the attempted murder of Alexei Navalny, and the growing anti-Putin movement inside Russia Episode #94 | March 17, 2021 | Danielle Pletka, Marc Thiessen, and Vladimir Kara-Murza Danielle Pletka: Hi, I'm Danielle Pletka. Marc Thiessen: And I'm Marc Thiessen. Danielle Pletka: Welcome to our podcast, , what the hell is going on now? Marc Thiessen: What the hell is going on is we have a podcast today that reminded me of why I got into foreign policy and why I had a passion for the battle for freedom. We just had a conversation with, and you're about to hear an interview, with Vladimir Kara-Murza, who is one of the courageous leaders of the Russian opposition. We spoke to him from Moscow and it's very fortuitous we were even able to get him because if we had scheduled this interview even a couple of days earlier, we would have been unable to have it because Vladimir Kara-Murza was in a prison cell. He was rounded up with all of the democratically elected opposition leaders from the local and municipal governments around the country who had gathered in Moscow to have a meeting. And the Putin regime rounded them up, arrested them, sent them to prisons, and is now going to prosecute them for collaborating with a hostile foreign organization, apparently the local governments of Russia are hostile foreign organizations. This guy is so courageous. He's been poisoned twice by the Putin regime and survived. And he is undaunted. He speaks out. He exercises the right of free speech, even when it comes at a huge political cost to him, to his family, to his friends. And this was just such an inspiring conversation. I'm so glad that he was able to join us today. Danielle Pletka: I couldn't agree with you more. And one of the things that you all will hear from him is just how the Putin government has stopped pretending. Marc Thiessen: Yeah. Danielle Pletka: This is one of those things, and you hear us talking about these tangentially when we had Jonathan Swan on to talk about Nord Stream and the Russians, hypocrisy 2 over helping Putin with one hand and sanctioning him with the other. This is something you hear in the context of the Trump administration. But what I think we failed to pay attention to as much because we spend so much time talking about ourselves, is what's happening in Russia. And the backsliding, the re- Sovietization of the Russian Federation is remarkable, notable, and particularly because it happens not just in foreign policy, not just in Syria, and not just in Libya, not just in trying to interfere in our elections, in European elections, and in invading Ukraine and Georgia, not just that, but that this is happening at home. And because we don't pay as much attention to that, Vladimir Putin has exploited what I can only call our ignorance and our indifference to crack down in ways on the Russian people that I think deserve a great deal more attention. Marc Thiessen: And it also shows how fragile his regime is. This is the myth of Putin as the strong man. I'm sorry, a strong man isn't afraid of a bunch of local mayors gathering in Moscow to talk about how to make the country better. Marc Thiessen: A strong man isn't afraid of Alexei Navalny coming home after recovering from a poisoning and speaking out against him. What is he afraid of? One of the things that Vladimir, and I don't want to spoil the interview, but one of the things Vladimir points out is that we have this myth that Putin is popular, right? That "Yeah, well, polls show that the Russian people really think the collapse of the Soviet Union was a disaster, and that Putin is bringing back a strong Russia." For those of us who've studied tyrannical and totalitarian regimes, it's always the myth of the popularity of the regime, that there's a number of people who really like this power. They like the strength of the regime. And it's always a lie. They're always brittle on the inside. That's why they take these actions. Because if Vladimir Putin was so popular, then why doesn't he just have a fair election with Alexei Navalny and trounce him? What are you afraid of? Why do you have to put Alexei Navalny in jail? It's because you're afraid you'd lose. Because the truth is the Russian people do not support Vladimir Putin. They don't support repression. They want to live in freedom. They want to have the opportunity to build a better life for their family, have accountable government. And if Vladimir Putin went into a free election with Alexei Navalny, Vladimir Kara- Murza, or the dog catcher of Moscow, he would lose that election. Danielle Pletka: That's one of the stories Vladimir tells us. We're going to play the full interview, unedited for you. And the only thing we ask your forbearance on is that we had to do it over Skype, so the sound is not quite as perfect as you're used to from Marc's mellifluous voice. Vladimir Kara-Murza, for those few of you who don't know who he is, was a protege of the now dead, murdered Russian opposition leader, Boris Nemtsov. He is the vice-chairman of Open Russia, which is an organization that was founded by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, someone who also spent 10 years in prison trying to oppose Vladimir Putin. He's the author of two documentaries, one called They Chose Freedom and another on Nemtsov himself that is just fantastic. He's a good friend to many of us here at AEI, and I was really happy when he agreed to join us despite everything that's going on in Moscow these days. Marc Thiessen: Here's our interview. AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE | 1789 Massachusetts Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20036 | 202.862.5800 | aei.org 3 Well, Vladimir, welcome to the podcast. Vladimir Kara-M...: Great to be on your podcast. Thank you so much for having me. Marc Thiessen: We're very excited that you're here because we almost missed you because you were arrested this weekend. Can you tell us what happened, and why we're so lucky to have you with us? Vladimir Kara-M...: Well, I have to say I've been in Russian politics for quite a while now, and I've seen many things as you know. But I have to say that what happened on Saturday was actually unprecedented, because an entire conference of elected municipal lawmakers from across Russia was detained by the police. The whole conference was detained. And so about 200 people were taken and driven around different police stations in Moscow. About 150 of them were elected municipal lawmakers. So, the idea was to try to gather a forum, a conference, of elected opposition legislators from all over the country. The municipal level is really the last level of politics in Russia where it's still possible to have some pluralism, some competition, some free debate, sometimes even more or less honest elections. And in fact, in the last couple of years, several hundreds of independent or opposition activists and local political leaders have been elected to these seats on municipal councils all across the country, from the Baltic to the Pacific, literally. And so, we thought it a good idea to try to coordinate this new sort of generation of rising pro-democracy political leaders. And the idea was to hold the first national conference, the first national forum, of these independent and opposition elected municipal legislators. Well, the authorities presumably thought this was also a good idea for us, so they made sure it didn't happen. But the way they did this was actually pretty surprising even for those of us who are seasoned in the Russian opposition. Usually, when the authorities try to sabotage our events, it would be something like a pipe suddenly burst in the hotel, or all the electricity would go off, or there would be a bomb scare. What happened this time was that they actually allowed the forum to start, and then about 20 minutes in, about 80 full-gear armed police officers marched into the room, and a police colonel took the microphone from the moderator. We were only just having our first session, but my spot was taken by this Moscow police colonel who announced to the entire room that everybody was being detained on the charge of assisting an undesirable, foreign organization. And I said this a few times, but I have no other way of describing this, I think Franz Kafka would have been ashamed of himself because his imagination would be nowhere near describing the situation we have in Russia under the Putin regime today, where you have elected municipal legislators, the people who have a democratic mandate from Russian voters detained by police because they're considered an undesirable foreign organization. By the way, just as an aside, today, there was an official delegation from Hezbollah here in Moscow at the invitation of the Russian foreign ministry. That's not an undesirable organization. That's okay. Hezbollah is fine, but elected municipal lawmakers from the Russian opposition, no, no, no.

  • For Immediate Release June 5, 2021 Matthews, Slavin And
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 5, 2021 MATTHEWS, SLAVIN AND SPURGEON VOTED LADY BYNG TROPHY FINALISTS NEW YORK (June 5, 2021) – Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews, Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin and Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon are the three finalists for the 2020-21 Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, awarded “to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability,” the National Hockey League announced today. Members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association submitted ballots for the Lady Byng Trophy at the conclusion of the regular season, with the top three vote-getters designated as finalists. The winners of the 2021 NHL Awards presented by Bridgestone will be revealed during the Stanley Cup Semifinals and Stanley Cup Final, with exact dates, format and times to be announced. Following are the finalists for the Lady Byng Trophy, in alphabetical order: Auston Matthews, C, Toronto Maple Leafs Matthews posted a League-leading 41 goals, 12 game-winning goals and 222 shots on goal (41-25—66) to earn his first career Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy and help the Maple Leafs claim their first division title since 1999-00. Matthews, who ranked fifth among NHL forwards with 21:33 of time on ice per game and ninth among all skaters with 47 takeaways, received 10 penalty minutes during his 52 appearances – the second- fewest among the League’s top 25 scorers behind only Artemi Panarin (6 PIM in 42 GP w/ NYR). The 23-year- old Scottsdale, Ariz., native – a finalist for the second straight season after placing second in voting in 2019-20 – is vying to become the eighth different player to win the Lady Byng Trophy with Toronto and just the second to do so in the expansion era (since 1967-68), following Alexander Mogilny in 2002-03.

  • Honoring Vladimir Bukovsky by Vladimir Kara-Murza
    The Schwarz Report Dr. Fred Schwarz Volume 53, Number 4 Dr. David Noebel April 2013 Honoring Vladimir Bukovsky by Vladimir Kara-Murza On Sunday, December 30, Vladimir Bukovsky—writer, scientist, human rights campaigner, and one of the founders of the dissident movement in the USSR—celebrated his 70th birthday. IMR Senior Policy Advisor Vladimir Kara-Murza recalls the milestones in Bukovsky’s life—and urges the present-day Russian opposition to heed his advice. Vladimir Bukovsky does not like to be called a politician, preferring to be known as a neurophysiologist, writer, or, at the very least, civic activist. In truth, he never engaged in politics: he merely realized, at an early age, that he could not reconcile himself to live quietly with a criminal and mendacious regime that sought to make millions of people its silent accomplices. Bukovsky’s protest was a moral one. “We did not play politics, we did not draft programs for the ‘people’s liberation,’” he recalls in his memoirs, To Build a Castle (a must-read for anyone interested in Russian history). “Our only weapon was glasnost (openness). Not propaganda, but glasnost, so that no one could say ‘I did not know.’ The rest is a matter for each person’s conscience.” “I did not know” was a popular answer among members of the older generation when asked by the youngsters of the 1950s about Stalin’s times. The public condemnation of Stalinist crimes at the 1956 Communist Party congress and (almost immediately) the brutal suppression of the Hungarian revolution, which showed that the nature of the regime has not changed, were formative events for Bukovsky.

  • Today's News Clips March 8, 2017
    Today’s News Clips March 8, 2017 Chicago Tribune Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane lines creating nightmare matchups for opponents Chris Hine March 7, 2017 There's a reason Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville prefers to keep Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane on different lines. In an ideal scenario, Toews' and Kane's lines would produce goals on a nightly basis, making it next to impossible for a coach to defend both with his top defensive options. Quenneville wants to make opponents pick their poison, and of late he has been able to ask: Hemlock or arsenic? Both Toews and Kane are scoring like the players who signed $10.5 million-per-year extensions in 2014. Toews was the NHL's No. 1 star for February and has eight goals and 12 assists in his last 13 games. Kane has 14 goals in his last 13 games. For much of last season, Kane and linemates Artemi Panarin and Artem Anisimov drew the bulk of defensive attention, and opponents could get by easing off Toews' line. That's not the case recently. "There's no doubt for a long time this year and last year, (the Kane line has) been that line that other teams really had to worry about," Toews said. "It's always good to have different lines pick up the slack offensively, and it definitely makes teams think twice about who they're going to go after and try to shut down. It eases the pressure on everybody else too." Before, an opponent might have been able to get away with deploying its top defensive pairing and top checking line against Kane and his linemates.
