FW: Davos

Dear Boris,

Happy holidays from Russia - hope they went well and not boring!

I just wanted to wonder, if something is possible to do in regards to participation in Davos this year. We in Russia now turned out to be in the middle of revolutionary processes, and Alyona and myself appeared to be one the main organizers of the protests. Under these circumstances it is really important to get to Davos to communicate what is going on, so that not only official Putin's voice is heard.

Do you think something can be done?

Yours,

We should go soon to Russia and you should meet my friend Ilya Ponomarev. He is a member of Duma and he and Alyona (his very smart and cute girlfriend) are the main organizer of the uprising against Putin.

He represents Novasibirska region but leaves in Moscow.

I am afraid what will happened to him. The stakes are huge. He might replace Putin and become a president by himself (he will sooner or later) if he does not killed before.

It is super dangerous - any idea how to help him??? Not with Davos but with the other stuff in general. He is super smart and one of the most connected people in Russia.

Pls do not forward this email.
