Vladimir Kara-Murza is a prominent Russian democratic opposition leader, a fierce critic of dictator Vladimir Putin, a historian, and a regular Washington Post contributor. He is a courageous, deeply principled man, and a passionate advocate for political and civil rights in his native Russia. He is also currently being held as a political prisoner by Russian authorities. Despite the clear danger for opposition voices in Russia, especially following the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Kara-Murza—a lawful permanent resident (LPR) of the United States and the father of three young children —chose to return to his home country from abroad in April 2022, saying that he must go back to stand with Russian antiwar protesters and against Vladimir Putin.
