Question: we’re running short of time. so i’m going to ask you about russia. a top opponent of president putin was gunned down last week. what does this say about vladimir putin’s russia and do you believe that the kremlin was not involved?
Answer: what i’ve called for is a full investigation and, hopefully, an independent investigation of what happened. whether that can occur inside today’s russia is not clear. the individual involved is somebody that i actually met with back in 2009. this is an indication of a climate at least inside of russia in which civil society, independent journalists, people trying to communicate on the internet, have felt increasingly threatened, constrained, and increasingly the only information that the russian public is able to get is through state-controlled media outlets. that is a problem. it’s part of what has allowed, i think, russia to engage in the sort of aggression that it is has against ukraine.
