07:40 “They are taking our friends hostage, they have been holding Alexei Navalny hostage for 10 long months now, and they are holding Ivan Zhdanov’s father hostage. We know this must not affect our work; if we allow ourselves to be intimidated like this, to be knocked off course, that will mean Putin has won.”
15:08 “That’s how global politics works: we can move certain things forward if we keep talking about them all the time.”

17:43 🎥 Columns of migrants at the border.

37:00❗COVID continues to hit record highs in the worst possible way.
37:56 “The official chart of infections and deaths should not be shown to anyone, because it is simply a lie. These numbers are completely fabricated; they bear no relation to reality whatsoever.”
42:12 “Putin and Margarita Simonyan have killed hundreds of thousands of people through their propaganda, their unwillingness to fight the epidemic properly, their unwillingness to open up the state’s rainy-day fund and pay people money, and of course their unwillingness to allow international vaccines onto the Russian market.”

01:01:44 “Going to prison is a terrible punishment; it is extremely, extremely harsh. But treatment that humiliates human dignity is not part of the package, and rape with a mop handle is not part of the package in any country in the world, and under no circumstances should it be part of the package in Russia either. And if our society allows this, that is a huge problem and a huge tragedy.”

01:20:45 “All international conventions and the Constitution of the Russian Federation prohibit arbitrary punishment; they prohibit punishment for actions that were not crimes at the time they were committed, because that is simply not permissible.”
01:24:33 “Lilia Chanysheva, a person who for many years openly engaged in public, legal political work in full view of everyone, is being sent to prison as an extremist. She is being placed in pretrial detention, even though she committed no crimes. And then Lilia says in court: ‘I believe I am pregnant.’ And they still simply take her away to pretrial detention.”
01:25:13 🎥Lilia Chanysheva’s statement at the hearing.
01:29:44 “We will write down all these scumbags in our ‘black notebook,’ and every one of them will answer to the full extent of the law in an honest, fair trial after Putin is gone.”
