Former Russian PM says he fears for his life | conflict zone
Little is known about the inner workings of the Kremlin, especially with Vladimir Putin in power. In the conflict zone this week: former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov, who served in Putin’s first government from 2000 to 2004. He knows what happens behind the closed doors of the Russian government. After the death of opposition politician Boris Nemtsov in 2015, he feared for his own life, he says. And still does. Mikhail Kasyanov: “Everyone in Russia should be afraid.” Tim Sebastian asked Kasyanov how much he knew about state-sanctioned killings during his tenure and how safe Putin is even now. What about the rumors about the Russian President’s poor health? In his opinion, how can this war in Ukraine end? And why did Russian President Boris Yeltsin appoint an unknown KGB colonel as his successor all those years ago?
