Vladimir Kara-Murza on Russia’s future after Putin

- “Once this regime is out of power and it is only a question of when and not if … there will have to be enormous work undergone in Russia to try to deal with the consequences of this … If we still believe in the goal of a Europe whole, free and at peace, that goal will only be possible when Russia … also becomes peaceful and democratic." - Vladimir Kara-Murza
In recalling that other nations have transitioned from dictatorship to post-dictatorship, it is worth noting that quite a lot of those nations are no better off now than they were under the dictatorship. In particular, South Africa is a disaster. I don't know how people across Europe view South Africa, but from my knowledge of it, including personal involvement with South Africans over the last 35 years, South Africa is a disaster and nobody in their right mind should be pointing to it as an example of what a nation could become.
A peaceful and democratic Russia is going to fall apart day 1 with madhouse places like Chechnya in it.

In all the post-communist former Warsaw Pact countries, from Estonia to Bulgaria, the change to democracy has more or less worked - actually better than most would have expected 30 years ago. Governments have changed several times through free and fair elections and even if you don't agree with the government, you won't go to jail on bogus accusations. There doesn't even exist the prison infrastructure to jail hunderds or thousands of political opponents.
In Russia on the other hand NO government has ever changed through elections, never ever. Not even Yeltsin was a real democrat, he let the army shoot with artillery on the parliament and later implanted his successor himself. Russia just doesn't have a democratic tradition. Its society never abandoned the idea to settle disputes with sheer violence. That starts at the local level with not standing up against the local bully or neighbourhood mafioso, up to the very top, where the greates bully of them all is sitting in the Kremlin.
Even Germany had a democratic tradition on which it could fall back after the brutal but historically speaking rather short 12 year intermezzo of Hitler. Germany had free geneneral elections and independent political parties even under the Kaiser and later was a democratic Republic in the Weimar periode. Russia has had non of that.
The ideology model is there. It's up to the government to make it work in order to become a successful
For that to happen some sort of civil society would need to evolve as it did in Ukraine.
Well except for Ukraine. Ukraine was corrupt regardless for Russia. They were probably slightly better off in the ussr even.
@@terryhand it is interesting to observe that all former communist countries West of Russia and Belarus have become democracies, while non of the Eastern former Soviet Republics have. All countries East of Ukraine have some sort of authoritarian rule or dictatorship, including Azerbaidjan, Kazachstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Russia itself, etc.
I saw a video in which Nixon said Putin was a better option. This is when Yeltsin was sending tanks to the parliament. At the time, the communists party was a better choice because they were respecting the supreme court. Unfortunately, people looked at the communist flag and automatically think no. I got this impression from Inside Russia channel.
Russian people are those who support and sustain the regime and the war. Saying that it’s putin’s war is like saying that ww2 was a hitler’s war.
I'm begging you to get yourself a history book and learn about another conflict than WW2. WW2 was a crazy outlier that has absolutely nothing in common with the Ukraine war and most other armed conflicts.
ww2 absolutely was hitler and hirohito’s war

American run opinion polls called Putin's popularity at around 80% before the election, are you saying they were rigged?
They were either copied from the opinion polls conducted by the Russian authorities, or they were rigged. The real poll conducted before the election (the one conducted by the "Federal Protective Service" gave Poo 26% of popularity.
'There are dozens of us. Dozens!'
I wanted to remind Mr. Kara-Murza that Russia's population exceeds 140 MILLION people. The ruling party, Yedinaya Rossiya has 2.5 MILLION members.Millions are directly involved in war effort including troops, volunteers, military complex etc. And with the handful of dissidents on the other side of the scale it is incredibly easy to answer the question if Russians support this war...

Well said.
2.5 millions out of 140 millions = all Russians?
@@user-ot3yc1tk6j 2.5 are those who are involved in politics directly. Also there are a couple of millions of those who who with other parties like Communists or "Apple", who are also for the war. So its 4+ millions of those who involved directly into this politics.
Plus there are couple of millions military + a couple millions of police/SFB. Plus couple of millions of those who work for the military production. Thousands of those who work for propaganda. Hundreds of thousands of those who works in education and do indoctrination and propaganda against children (and assist during elections).
Its easily 15-20 million of those who support the regime or participate in war DIRECTLY! And dont forget about those who were happy about "Crimea is ours"
To quote the Soviets at the Nuremberg trials:
"All Germans are to blame for the crimes of Germany, on a level with the leadership of the country - because it was they who chose and did not stop their government when it committed a crime against humanity."
The Soviets wanted to summarily execute 50,000 Germans at the conclusion of the war.

He will return to Russia like Lenin, except instead of another dictatorship, he will usher in a new era of democracy for Russia. 🤞
After the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union, Russia did not become free or democratic but descended into almost total anarchy. The rise of Putin and his dictatorship has its roots in that period of chaos and humiliation. Not enough was done by western countries to help Russia through that difficult transition and in fact many simply took advantage of Russia's weakness. I am not so sure the same wouldn't happen again in Russia even after the fall of the Putin regime. The Russian people have only known millennia of authoritarian, corrupt rule and that experience is not something easily overcome. Something even worse might replace Putinism if that is possible to imagine.

The Russians have no democratic tradition. They will either choose authoritarian rule, or will submit to it with little resistance. Blaming the West is folly. We spent billions in the 90s to prop them up and help them, and it was good money thrown away after bad.
Really? You can't think of anything that NATO has done to egg on Russia's illegal invasion? Here is a hint...Cuban missile crisis.
Every word come out of this snake is lies. He and his friend is what is wrong with Russia, without them Russia will return to glory and victory against the fascists that Kara-Murza loves so much.
Let me clarify it: in 1996, Russians elected a left-wing majority. But Yeltsin's cronies (including the future Putin cronies) overturned the election result by ballot stuffing.
NATO/EU decided to not interfere, and instead by certifying the fraudulent election gut Yeltsin into power... and his "loyal" aide too - a guy who sold himself to "the collective West" as Russia's "Pinochet" to end the "Allende" threat, and who now is known, among other things, for having a looooooooong table and a warrant from The Hague.
He is so right about the responsibility of Western countries. They really enabled Putin for a long time
The comparison to Argentina, South Africa etc. overlooks the fact that the Russian people have no collective hope at all that democracy will work for them. Generally speaking, they have never known it, dont know how to actively be democratic citizens who inform themselves well and don't bother to get involved in, or trust politics. They believe that Russia is far too big to be ruled democratically.
If Russia 'lost' this was what makes you think it would stay the same size? 21Republics, how many would want to become self governing, sovereign states?
The most convoluted question in the history of journalism...

Why don't the citizens in Moscow and suburbs move in mass and surround the Kremlin as the people did in Bangladesh and the Phillipines. It cost lives in Bangladesh. How long was Stalin power.
Because they are beneficiary of current regime. And Moscow is not Russia.
I could never understand why he and Navalny returned to Russia. After being poisoned, etc. Very strange, to say the least...
Still don't know what he hoped to achieve by going back to Russia 2 years ago. Be a moral compass for the Russian people, that they would rally around him?
I wish interviewers would keep their questions/ intros brief. This interviewer was talking for nearly two minutes before his guest was allowed to speak.
Yes it nearly had me switching off too. It wasn’t so much the fact that he was talking a long time it was more that he wasn’t making any sense.
Please, we should understand 1 base principle before talking. The principle is simple, and it is :"every country has the government that they deserve. No exceptions. "

The first 8 years of Putin's rule was not a real dictatorship, and it was a different era. Very, very few people in those days were either afraid or discontent. It started gradually, but really turned into a repressive dictatorship after 2018. Even now, about 75% of people in Russia do not see it as such, although more people have certain grievances, mostly against "the system" though.

You have your account since 9 May 2024 and _I am the bot?_
Have you got your rubles from Savushkina 55 yet?
No, you are wrong. Russia was only given a chance in the early 90s, and then they started to treat them as a victorious enemy, not a potential ally, focusing only on Eastern European countries. You let Russia into the WTO only in 2010, while for example Poland joined the WTO immediately at the moment of the WTO creation. Unlike the countries of Eastern Europe, Russia was never given a free visa to Europe, and trade too. Between the Russian civil society, which wants democracy, and dictatorship, the West chose dictatorship, as Kara-Murza already said. And the cherry on the cake - Bill Clinton in 1997 called the collapse of the USSR a personal victory for the United States, and George Bush Jr. in the early 2000s said that the most important thing was that Russia was not a burden like the USSR, everything else was unimportant.
This clearly demonstrates that the West didn't give a damn about Russia at all, and didn't want to accept Russia into Europe at all; for them, Russia was still an enemy, but a victorious one. So no, they didn't give me a chance.
@@Erix442 Maybe the world started to see the direction Russia was taking under Putin 😊that’s why the “west didn’t give a damn about Russia.”
Your free visa talk is nonsense. European countries that are not Schengen members need visa to the EU as well. Lately even the UK.
Russia is still an enemy [an even bigger one now] but not a victorious one. They are going to lose the war and as I said in my first message, the free world will not want to have anything to do with them on any level for long time. There was a video on YT where a Russian girl was crying and saying that during her trip through Europe she was treated like she were from the third world. This is a reality check for all Russians.

As much as I admire personalities like Vladimir Kara-Murza for their courage and optimism, I really do not see how the "change for the better" can come about in Russia. There seems be a large class of bureaucrats who will do anything to remain in power. Maybe it is the biggest, best organized group of people in that country. They are nor idealists, they are opportunists. The class survived the change from Czarist regime to Communism. And they survived the end of Communism. There is no one around to replace them. This has nothing to do with the form of the regime, it is the reality of the social make up. The liberal minded opposition never took on the bureaucrats, they never succeeded in securing a solid following, they never gained a position of trust the Russian public was willing to count on. It is all very sad and dangerous. Nobody has described so far how this could change.

He is so delusional, russia has no opposition to putin
Not in the public, besides people like Navalnay. I'm pretty sure a bunch of Oligarchs aren't too happy with Putin and how current events are going
@@jpf7942 It might be something like 20%, but just based on how many are arrested isn't going to give any good estimate in a country of 140 million people. Independent polls are still the best bet and when even many ru citizens in EU countries support Putin, I don't buy the idea that Putin isn't actually very popular still in Russia.
@@jpf7942 American oligarchs buy their politicians.
@@cyberfunk3793 He doesn't need to be popular with the people, he needs to stay in the good graces of his Oligarchs. I know a lot of observers like us like to think Putin has complete control of the country, which is true at face value.
But Oligarchs have their own interests to look after as well. I don't think anyone would be surprised if the Oligarchs did try to usurp by paying off the right people. It's only a matter of when.
The people would support anyone that rules that country, they are indoctrinated into autocracy, Putin isn't special, he's just the current dictator in charge
Agree. He's not realistic about ruzzias prospectives.
it is a joy to see Vladimir Kara-Murza free and also see him with his dear wife! I wish this family much strength, love and hope 💓💜

@@Ptahamriahow about paying taxes? Part of my taxes cover expenditures of Ukrainian army in the war with Pu. Понял, да?
He remains a Russian like the others: domineering, aggressive and who spits on us while he has just been freed thanks to the United States. Making us believe that the Russians are victims, what a bad joke! The country of pogroms, of assumed racism against the other peoples of the federation, of aggression and the systematic destruction of all its neighbors for centuries. The Russians would be victims. Russia is a mortal danger for our democratic values.
Apart from pushing the narrative how Europe needs russia, guys like Kara Murza should speak on the subject of what will russians have to do in order to gain the trust and respect back from the entire world. He sounds like everyone outside russia is responsible for accepting it back into civilised world. Being as fluent and eloquent as he is he should know the respect is earned, not given.
I live in Moscow, when you (journalists) say that Russians, who live in Russia must be more aware of what is going on, can you please be more specific? what exactly do you want me to be doing? Go to the Red Square and start protesting and find myself imprisoned and leave my children fatherless for a lot of years or to leave my homeland and try to relocate? To where? USA? Israel?Most governments are “guilty and dirty” and it doesn’t mean that honest citizens must jump from one country to another being very often hated by the locals for “stealing” job places or subsidies.

At the time , he did not condemned the invasion of Crimea. What an Hypocrite.
Who cares

Crimea was never invaded. The Crimean people switched sides and supported Russia after the 2014 Maidan coup.
Applying his definition to Russia then we in the USA, UK and the European Union do not live in a democracy.

His goal for Russia is laudable, but I don't think China will give up its partner in crime so easily.
Happy to see and hear this gentleman not only sat in front of a camera in the free world but now ready to add his voice to the education of Western politicians, press and the free peoples of the west. I only hope they adjust their attention span and actually listen, digest and maybe (here it gets more doubtful) act upon their amended cognitions.
Hope to see and hear more of him on any current affairs/news grateful enough to repay him for the sacrifices he has made and the final sacrifice he might have had to make (no doubt if he had lingered within their reach they would have been tempted to silence him). Welcome back to the free (no matter how confusing and imperfect) world sir.
Just say Crimea is Ukraine please!
Are you living in the past😂

He will never tell this because he is Putin’s agent
No it's not a never will be.
Crimea has been Russian ever since it was a khanate of the Ottoman Empire. It was briefly administratively transferred to Ukraine under the auspices of the USSR by Khuschev (a Ukrainian). The people who live there are ethnic Russians and Tartars who voted overwhelmingly for union with Russia after the US coup in 2014 than empowered Banderite neo Nazis who would have done to them what they have been trying to do to the people of Donbass.
A rare combination of raw courage, intelligence and moral passion.

Putin has managed to keep the territory of Russia together, including what is above and what is below. The opponents, the oligarchs, the dissidents wanted to tear it to pieces. Everything revolves around this thesis.
true
I thought that the Russian people who saw Prigozhin going off to Moscow to create trouble were absolutely delighted.
This "roadmap to transition" in a post-Putin Russia needs a lot more specific detail. Yes, other countries have done it, but HOW was it done? Good to hear K-M thinks Russia can make the transition to a peaceful, democratic, contented state in a Europe whole, free and at peace. But HOW is this to be accomplished? "Roadmap" is just a word.
These are words of hope that are necessary to be able to move forward.
Didn't think we would see him again. Good to see.

Talking about democracy in Russia, will member states of the federation be allowed to free themselves from the Russian Federation?
донать ВСУ стерненко==они герои
I don’t think he is Russian
Still making money? At least be quiet for some time.
“When this regime is out of power, and it is it matter of if but just when ..” Is he talking about the US foreign policy regime or the Russian one? Because whatever is happening between Ukraine and Russia, I can’t say our foreign policy regime meddling all over the world is actually so sustainable or supported internationally.
Ukraine and the rest of the world will never forgive or forget what Russia has done in this day and age to Ukraine end of
That's what they said about Germany in 1945...
Nowadays Germans, French, Dutch, and many more are friends now. That is what I hope for Russia too. And for the people in North Korea, and China, and Venezuela...
In one hundred years no Russian will be guilty of Putin's and his cronies' crimes.

So what you think about the coup 2014 organized by Brandon and co? Ukraine killed thousands of People in Donbass. After this coup. And still is doing the same. On US money

The real Russian Opposition are those fighting alongside Ukraine 🇺🇦 today, not those calling to spare the “poor Russian people” and lift sanctions.
amen
I really like this guy.
He is so clear and simple and deep. He has a good vision for his country, how to get to a just democratic state and remove all the bad inheritance from history.
Really funny to read such serious comments knowing that lots of Americans are now moving to live in Russia.
This man deserves to represent the people as president of a democratic Russia in the new world. I believe it’s possible, we must have hope and optimism in this inhospitable economic climate.
no, he can represent citizens of Moscow and Sankt Peterburg
In order to represent anybody he needs to be elected. And this will never happen. I know russians well - they are not idiots to vote for him.
He is Russia's last hope for Democracy in our lifetime.
He sure very intelligent … good spokes man
Putin shaking in his pants ,, already off
Добро пожаловать домой!
Welcome home Vladimir Kara-Murza ❤
Your powerful voice for human rights, rule of law and freedom in Russia, is now free.🕊
Haha. You believing this shows you are totally brainwashed by the CIA.
