“It's very, very hard for people who grew up in the United States not to treat our elections as normal politics - as donkey against the elephant; red against blue; Democrats against Republicans; who's got the better message and blah blah blah blah. We're not in that world. We're in a world where one party is an authoritarian force and needs to be stopped.”

“It is not Memorial's history research that drew his [Vladimir Putin] ire. The real reason is that the organisation linked that effort to defending human rights in the present. It maintained its own human rights centre, which monitored abuses and designated political prisoners. It also organised an annual vigil in front of the former KGB (currently FSB) building in Moscow, with thousands coming to read out the names of terror victims in a powerful 'never again' message to modern abusers of human rights.”

“The international criminal court should have already started this trial, but China is a member of the (United Nations) Security Council and it does not seem possible within this dynamic.

“Not all the bridges are closed today, and the internet was not cut off. So far, the protest seems calm, but the pattern is that during the last hours of the afternoon, that's when [security forces] fire bullets … and crowds get bigger and bigger.”

“The current situation is a threat to the stability and security of Ukraine and the whole region. It cannot be discussed without all the relevant actors around the table. The EU cannot be a neutral spectator in these negotiations if Russia really wants to discuss Europe's security architecture.”

“A week into the fourth dose we know to a higher degree of certainty that the fourth dose is safe. The second piece of news: We know that a week after administration of a fourth dose, we see a five-fold increase in the number of antibodies in the vaccinated person. This most likely means a significant increase against infection and …hospitalization and (severe) symptoms.”
