All news on the topic: Vladimir Kara-Murza

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has launched a criminal case against exiled former oil magnate Mikhail Khodorkovsky and members of the Anti-War Committee of Russia—established by exiled politicians and activists in February 2022—alleging they plotted a violent seizure of power and organized a terrorist group.

In August 2024, the world witnessed an unprecedented prisoner swap between the West and the Kremlin: Russia agreed to release 16 individuals, including political prisoners Vladimir Kara-Murza and Ilya Yashin and U.S. citizens Evan Gershkovich and Paul Whelan in exchange for eight Russians — GRU illegals, hackers, and killers.

Vladimir Kara-Murza has told Keir Starmer that future prisoner exchanges are a matter of "life and death."

One of Vladimir Putin’s top enemies – who is a Russian-British citizen – will be released from a penal colony as part of a high-profile exchange of prisoners between Russia and the West, it is understood.
