KERA's Think

Listen Later

Vladimir Kara-Murza is so dedicated to bringing democracy to Russia that it’s nearly cost him his life on multiple occasions. Kara-Murza was sentenced to 25 years in a Siberian prison colony for disparaging the invasion of Ukraine but was released as part of this summer’s historic prisoner swap that also freed Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former U.S. marine Paul Whelan. Host Krys Boyd talks with him and his wife, human rights activist Evengia Kara-Murza, about their ongoing work to free their homeland from Vladimir Putin’s grip.
