More From Mikhail Khodorkovsky

People take the lazy way out, and do not regard putin and the kremlin as the real enemy. they create a long but erroneous chain in their heads. putin is the leader of russia. putin does x, therefore russia is doing x, and russia is our enemy. and so, we introduce sanctions, for example, against russia.
Real Long People
We've got oligarchs. there are certain people that benefit in the russian sphere if you will. the oligarchs who basically feed putin, they've got to be hurt without hurting the people. the people are hurting bad enough in russia, and they're very skeptical of what's going on and all of the corruption goes on in russia. russia is not our ally. russia is not our friend. and to treat putin as an ally and a friend is wrong.
Hurt People Corruption
Vladimir putin hates america, he wants to hurt us. suddenly vladimir putin is a good guy, russia is okay, no it's not. russia is evil, russia is our enemy.
Hurt Hate Evil
I had a chance to talk with president [vladimir] putin and he clearly said to me very directly, "i will think about that. i will think about this challenge of how we win." look, this is not easy for putin. everybody says, "oh, putin's made a big move." well, putin is [in syria] now; and if he wants to fight isil alone, that's a challenge, folks.
Moving Fighting Thinking
When i was on an american show in 2015, i tried to talk about the threat vladimir putin posed to the free world. the interviewer said, "wake me up when he takes over poland." we heard something similar from years ago and we ended up with world war two. putin decided to skip poland and went straight to wisconsin. putin is at war, a hybrid war, with the free world. his domestic propaganda is based entirely on a strong man challenging the free world. when the demonstrations around russia began, the harsh response was because it was more important to show strength.
Strong War Men
For 17 years, elections in russia have followed the same pattern: nobody criticizes putin, nobody runs a real election campaign, the whole process takes place quietly over a period of two months. the kremlin blocks every alternative to putin. he doesn't want a candidate who will travel through the country and speak loudly about russia's problems.
