If We Talk About Changes Of Power

I'm Not An Ordinary Prisoner.

If We Talk About Changes Of Power In Russia, That Has Occurred Several Times In The Past Century. After Stalin Came Khrushchev, Who Implemented His Legacy Quite Radically, One Could Say. But There Was No Blood, Nonetheless. After Brezhnev Came Gorbachev. I'm Not Talking About The Ones Who Were In Power For Only A Short Period Of Time. Gorbachev, Too, Left A Very Radical Legacy.

Opposition Work Is Not Without Its Dangers. But If You've Chosen A Job Like That For Yourself, You Then Subsequently Shouldn't Spend Your Time Every Second Thinking, Oh My God, What Might Happen To Me? Oh My God, What Might Happen To Me? Your Colleagues Include Quite A Large Number Of War Correspondents. Their Job Is Not The Least Dangerous In The World, Either.

It's A Very Erroneous Strategy To Try To Push The Russian Opposition To Unite. First Of All, The Opposition Is Addressing Different Parts Of Russian Society That Have Differing Points Of View. And Besides, A United Opposition Is A Nice Big Target That The Authorities Have A Much Easier Time Fighting. And Besides, Resisting An Authoritarian Regime With An Authoritarian Opposition Merely Means That, In The Event Of Victory, You're Just Doing Yet Another Round Of The Same Old, Same Old.

What's Important To Me Now Is To Uphold My Good Name And Achieve A Fair Court Decision - The Past Cannot Be Recovered Anyway.
