It isn’t just Megyn Kelly who’s taking heat for interviewing Vladimir Putin<\/a>. Oliver Stone<\/a>’s two-part, four-hour “The Putin Interviews<\/a>” has been divisive as well, with the Oscar-winning filmmaker receiving criticism for his sit-down with the Russian President. Among the critics is Pussy Riot<\/a>’s Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, who says Stone “comfortably forgot” to ask Putin any difficult questions, according to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stone also defended Putin in a recent “Daily Show” appearance, much to the bewilderment of many.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s a well-known leftist and some Western leftists, unfortunately for me because I’m a leftist, think the enemy of your enemy is your friend,”Tolokonnikova continued. “I think he’s part of the global oligarchy and it’s pretty weird to me that a person who is supposedly supporting the left like Oliver Stone would interview Vladimir Putin.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Tolokonnikova says she met Stone, who was “upset” at the fact that she doesn’t count herself among Putin’s supporters, six months ago. “It was very obvious that [Stone] is very comfortable in this position and he doesn’t want any critics, so there wasn’t really any ground for discussion.”<\/span><\/p>\n

She isn’t a fan of Trump, either, in case you were curious: “I don\u2019t even like to say his name because he really likes when people say his name, this guy that’s the president, it’s like the C-word but it’s the T-word.” More details at THR<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
