Kara-Murza is the highest profile Russian dissident left after the murder of Aleksei Navalny. Kara-Murza is a permanent resident of the United States. His wife and children are American citizens. Kara-Murza has survived two poisoning attempts and is now imprisoned in one of the Russian dictator’s Gulag 2.0 camps.
