Thank you very much for your question and kind words.
Vladimir is still being held in a detention centre in Moscow awaiting trial. I have not spoken to my husband, nor have I seen him since April. My contact with him is through his lawyer. I am very lucky, because his lawyer is also a family friend. He was Boris Nemtsov's lawyer before he was murdered. After the murder, he worked on his assassination report with Vladimir and Margareta Cederfelt, president of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. I believe they became friends. I have full confidence in him. I am sure he will do his best on my husband's case.
Of course, the decision about my husband has already been made. Since he has been charged with high treason, he now faces a prison sentence of up to 24 years in a strict regime. I know that the only way my husband could get out of a Russian prison would be if the regime were to collapse. It is my goal to make sure that day comes as soon as possible. That is the purpose of my work and everything I do now.
I call it putting my small nail in the coffin of this regime.
