First, they came for the socialists in Cuba, and the world did not speak out because it didn’t feel the pain. Then they came for the mullahs in Iran, and the world did not speak out because the pain was easy to ignore. And then they came for their adversaries in Russia, and the world finally took notice because the pain became all too palpable.

The interview was held on the sidelines of the 19th annual meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club.
