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

This is an abridged version of a 600 paged book in Russian by the author (Not sure if 600 page books appeal to the average Russian). It is more nuanced than what the title would make it expect. It's also nuanced in not blindly cheerleading everything that is Western.
It talks a lot about the tech savvy new class who will be at the forefront of the new Russia.
