Dimitry Kochenov: 'Kiribati above mother Russia?'
Prof. Dimitry Kochenov, a constitutional-law expert at Groningen University, was interviewed on Dozhd (in Russian), the biggest Russian independent TV channel, to discuss the position of the Russian passport in terms of visa-free travel around the world.

His only explanation for this is the isolationist course of the current Putin regime.
