“The Future Belongs to Democracy” Says Freed Russian Opposition Leader

Season 2024 Episode 7091 | 18m 21s

In April 2022, Russian opposition leader Vladimir Kara-Murza was one of many dissidents in Russia arrested for speaking out.

Kara-Murza sat down with Walter to discuss his personal story and the importance of democracy.
