Vladimir Vladimirovich Kara-Murza quotes

Vladimir Vladimirovich Kara-Murza is a prominent Russian opposition politician, journalist, and activist. An outspoken critic of the Kremlin, his work has centered on advocating for democracy and human rights in Russia. He has survived multiple poisonings, and continues to campaign internationally for political reform and freedom. Here are 2 of his quotes:

The Magnitsky legislation is a pale substitute for justice. The penalty for torture, murder, wrongful imprisonment or grand corruption should not be canceled vacations in Miami Beach or on the Côte d'Azur but a real trial in a real court of law. One day, this will be possible in Russia. For now, it is not, and targeted sanctions from Western democracies serve as the only mechanism of accountability for corrupt Kremlin officials and human rights abusers. I will continue this work, as I know will many of my colleagues, regardless of any legislative novelties from the Russian government.
