Mikhail Khodorkovsky joins the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center to discuss what lessons the United States and its allies can learn from prior approaches to Russia. How should the United States and the Russian opposition engage with those interested in building a free and democratic Russia?

We met a long time ago. Your analysis is strong.
Sadly, both countries are destroying each other. Putin and his type must go . Best.

Perhaps a 'digital avatar' politician could be strategic for opposition politics?

Mikhail Khodorkovsky, is definitely on Putin's hit list! He's one of the most brilliant ex- oligarchs, having escaped Putin, but certainly on a hit list, for his opinions and organizations trying to help overthrow Putin!

One would have thought that your guest would have learned English by now since he lives in London and was the head of YUKOS, the top oil company after 1990. Oil men second language is English, irrespective of their country of origin. Going through an interpreter renders the whole interview a futile boring exercise, no matter how interesting MK is in his native language. A shame!
