Kremlin critic Kara-Murza draws parallels to Stalin's regime in trial.
TL;DR Summary
Russian opposition activist Vladimir Kara-Murza, who is facing a 25-year sentence for treason, has been reading the memoir of former politician and political prisoner Natan Sharansky, who spent nine years in a Russian prison on trumped-up treason and espionage charges. Sharansky has called the prosecution of Kara-Murza for criticizing Russia’s war in Ukraine “evidence that Russia has returned to Stalinist times.” Kara-Murza and his supporters say he has twice survived past poisoning attempts. Russian authorities deny any involvement in the alleged attacks.
