Bill Browder: I'm a guy who went to Russia to run an investment fund, I discovered corruption, I exposed it, and I fell out with the regime.
Business Insider: So we have a lot to talk about. Over the last few days we've seen some incredible, incredible news from Russia and the UK, all around the United States, about violence at the hands of Putin's regime which you've experienced. In the UK, a former Soviet spy and his daughter were attacked using a nerve gas that we haven't seen since World War II. We have a ally of Boris Berezovsky mysteriously killed. And now we have new sanctions against the Russian government from the United States, UK, France. Give us your take on this, what should we expect to see and what does this mean that is going through Putin's head, and what is happening in Russia right now?See the rest of the story at Business Insider
