Ilya Ponomarev, Russian Dissident
Sarah Montague speaks to Ilya Ponomarev, who voted against the annexation of Crimea. He now lives in the US. Can Russians in exile make a difference to their country?
HARDtalk's Sarah Montague speaks to Ilya Ponomarev, who was only one of 446 deputies who voted against the Russian parliament's vote on President Putin's annexation of Crimea. Within months he was accused of fraud and his bank accounts were frozen. He now lives in the United States and says "the best talent we need for a future Russian government" is there. So can Russians in exile really make a difference when the man they want to overthrow is so popular at home?
