60 Minutes story- tomorrow on CBS-"Putin critic says he was poisoned, but wont back down"
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/putin-critic-who-says-he-was-poisoned-twice-wont-back-down/"Vladimir Kara-Murza says he was poisoned twice for speaking out against the policies of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Despite being at death’s door in both incidents, the political activist tells Lesley Stahl he will return to Russia to continue his protests. Kara-Murza appears on the next edition of 60 Minutes Sunday, March 12 at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
“Of course, I will absolutely go back to Russia,” he says in the interview conducted in a suburb of Washington, D.C. where his family lives. “I am Russian, this is my country, and I believe in what I do, in what my colleagues do. There are many of us.”
Heads up for anyone interested to catch this story with Lesley Stahl coming up tomorrow evening
