In a sentence or two, are you able to give us khodorkovskys thesis
position.
I tried to listen to the radio Svoboda link and it was so bad I couldn't
hear what he was saying. I believe much earlier he came out and stated in a
video that the Severnyj Kavkaz should be part of Russia.what about Krym,
what did he say. Some of the commentators on hromadske Facebook page, are
calling him a Putin Rupor. I don't believe this.
