1:07:14Now PlayingIlya Ponomarev is one of the most impressive young politicians in today's Russia. He is the only member of the Russian Parliament who voted against granting President Vladimir Putin legal powers to use force against Ukraine. Over the years, he has repeated voted against a number of United Russia's draconian initiatives, which are supported by the "official opposition." As a result, his face is now featured on huge posters in the middle of Moscow calling him a "national traitor," a scary term that Russia's ruling party uses today for dissidents and regime opponents like Mr. Ponomarev. Join us as he discusses his views on the anti-democracy crackdown in Russia, the Russian-Ukrainian hostilities, and the state of U.S.-Russian relations.
