How do the lessons of Russian history give Vladimir Kara-Murza the certainty that his sacrifices were not made in vain, that the forces of democracy will prevail?
This episode is about the struggle for Russia’s historical memory and future, as told by the dissidents who came before and lit the path for the torchbearers of today.
It includes interviews with Vladimir Kara-Murza in 2020, former Soviet political prisoner Natan Sharansky, his lawyer at the time Prof Irwin Cotler, historian Gil Troy, New York Times best-selling author Bill Browder, and Washington Post editor David Hoffman.
