The Story of How Russia Becomes a Democracy after Losing to Ukraine.
Opposing Putin is a risky proposition; for instance, a fellow Russian Parliament member turned dissident, Denis Voronenkov, was on his way to see Ponomarev when he was shot and killed in March 2017 by Russian intelligence.
Ponomarev has lived in Kyiv since 2016. As a result of Voronenkov’s murder, he now receives personal protection by the Ukrainian Security Service. And as he said in a recent television interview, “I keep a machine gun by the door.”
But if you ask Ponomarev why he joined Ukraine’s armed territorial defense forces, he will reply:
"I’m not fighting against Russia, I'm fighting against Putin and Putinism and Russian fascism.”
In this book, Ponomarev offers his plan for how the Russian people can purge their country of Putin, Putinism, and dictatorship, and turn it into a democracy.
