“Send in the linguist,” came the call over the radio. It was April 2003, and I was an Arabic-speaking U.S. military intelligence soldier assigned to support American infantrymen conducting combat operations during the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

>> Andrew Roberts: So, Bill Browder is a financier and political activist who Vladimir Putin has repeatedly tried to arrest. Bill, tell us about the Hermitage Fund. It had four and a half billion dollars under management. When and how did you become the largest foreign investor in Russia? >> Bill Browder: Well, it's kind of a strange story.

Vladimir Kara-Murza is a father to three children: two daughters and a son. He bears the exact same name as his father, who was one of the country’s most prominent journalists and a pioneer of independent post-Soviet television.
