Does Putin Have to Die? (The Story of How Russia Becomes a Democracy after Losing to Ukraine)

The Story of How Russia Becomes a Democracy after Losing to Ukraine.
 
To understand the significance of this book, Does Putin Have to Die?, you must first understand the significance of the author:

• Ilya Ponomarev was a member of the Russian Parliament, or State Duma, from 2007–2016.
• In 2014, he was the only member of the Russian Parliament to vote against the annexation of Crimea.
• However, this was not the first time he survived after opposing Putin.
• His vote against the annexation of Crimea did, however, lead to him being forced into exile from his own country while he was a sitting member of Parliament.
• At the time of the annexation of Crimea, Ponomarev predicted it would lead to a full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
• He also vowed at the time that if Russia did invade Ukraine, he would fight on the side of Ukraine. And that’s what he is doing today. 

Opposing Putin is a risky proposition; for instance, a fellow Russian Parliament member turned dissident, Denis Voronenkov, was on his way to see Ponomarev when he was shot and killed in March 2017 by Russian intelligence.
 
Ponomarev has lived in Kyiv since 2016. As a result of Voronenkov’s murder, he now receives personal protection by the Ukrainian Security Service. And as he said in a recent television interview, “I keep a machine gun by the door.”
 
But if you ask Ponomarev why he joined Ukraine’s armed territorial defense forces, he will reply:
 
"I’m not fighting against Russia, I'm fighting against Putin and Putinism and Russian fascism.”
 
In this book, Ponomarev offers his plan for how the Russian people can purge their country of Putin, Putinism, and dictatorship, and turn it into a democracy.
