Opposing Forces: Plotting the New Russia
Alexei Navalny,Adam Michnik
Alexei Navalny, Russian opposition firebrand, and Adam Michnik, Polish thinker and activist, take a walk in Red Square to talk about Poland’s struggle for independence from the USSR, the collapse of the Soviet empire, and nothing less than the future of Russia. From dissidents to solidarity, Michnik talks animatedly about battling the ‘salami’ tactics of the old Polish communist regime.Step by step, beneath the Kremlin walls, Navalny is looking for parallels. How did a small group of opposition-minded Poles come to form a ten-million-strong political movement? Our strength lay in our solidarity, says Michnik. Navalny knows what he’s up against - Putin’s main weapon is his ability to bribe the population. But he also knows his fellow countrymen, for there’s no one in the country who approves of palace-buying officials. They pass by Lenin’s tomb many times, searching for a way forward. When it’s much easier to talk revolution than to actually make it happen, how do you breach the walls of the Kremlin?Here is a clarion call - the blueprint for a new Russia.
