indeed, when boris nemtsov was assassinated and many critics of putin said that putin was behind it, you said absolutely not, that is not what vladimir putin would do. why do you defend him in this way? i'm not defending him, i'm just telling the truth. even if it's political, not unsuitable, i really think that putin didn't say to anyone to kill nemtsov. how do you know? i know that it's beyond what he would decide, and so he was not an enemy. how do you know? how do you know that? i'm just totally sure about the principles on which they stand. he would never say it like this. in the end, ms sobchak won just 1.7% of the vote in that 2018 election. putin romped home with 77%, and ms sobchak has since been reminded of the need for constant loyalty. last 0ctober, she briefly fled russia as three employees of her media company were arrested on suspicion of extortion. on suspicion of extortion, and when she returned home, she had to issue a fulsome apology. of all the interviewees in this programme, one is imprisoned, two are in exile, and two are dead. to stand up to vladimir putin mean
