This part of Huckabee's narrative lends credibility to his religious politics.

But he has tried nonetheless, ignoring the arbitrary repercussions that would follow his political activism. His devotion to truth and determination to alert the world to the rotten state of Russian politics deserve our deepest respect. We can only hope that the sacrifice of his safety—and that of others like him—will be worthwhile in the long run. Under Putin, Russia is bound to continue to distance itself from the rest of the democratic...
