EXCLUSIVE: With popular opposition leaders often forced into exile or jailed, Russian career politician Yevgeny Roizman is one of very few left on the front lines, willing to fight against the Kremlin’s all-consuming corruption, despite the risks thedailybeast.com/yevgeny-roizma…
He has been regarded as one of those rare Russian politicians who does not take bribes and listens to the concerns of citizens. Activists hope that Roizman will emerge as a unifying opposition candidate against Vladimir Putin in the 2024 elections. thedailybeast.com/yevgeny-roizma…
An ICIJ investigation revealed that Russia is a leader in tax evasion, with rich technocrats and oligarchs, such as Putin’s long-time friend Sergei Chemizov and “close” friend Svetlana Krivonogikh, hiding their money in offshore companies thedailybeast.com/yevgeny-roizma…
“You would neither find my name on these lists, nor Aleksei Navalny’s,” Roizman told The Daily Beast, who said he felt “deeply disgusted” looking through the names listed in the “Pandora Papers” thedailybeast.com/yevgeny-roizma…
“These crooks are like mice sneaking around, hustling to hide their wealth in some secret holes. It’s time they understand there are limits to what they can physically devour in their lifetime,” Roizman said. thedailybeast.com/yevgeny-roizma…
He also does not hide his anti-Putin views. He openly supports Navalny and accuses the Kremlin of political assassinations. He has participated in street protests. Today, Roizman's popularity seems to be skyrocketing.
