DANIEL KLAIDMAN: So how concerned
are you right now that Navalny will
be killed while he's in prison?
VLADIMIR ASHURKOV: I'm very concerned.
There is nothing that could stop Russian security services
of assassinating person anywhere in the world, let alone
in Russian prison, which is a brutal place.
But you know, Navalny has defied death before many times.
And it's really-- it is sort of an epic story, his poisoning
and then his miraculous recovery,
and then this phone call when he dialed one of the person
from the [INAUDIBLE] he himself talked to him
shortly after his recovery.
And then despite all threats, he goes back to Russia,
is imprisoned, and still maintains the humor
and moral stance from the prison cell
and from the bench of the trial that he has been
undergoing now in his prison.
