Just hearing in the news that Putin critic Alexei Nalvany has died in prison. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/russian-opposition-leader-alexei-navalny-dies-prison-rcna79718
On a world where we have a lot of people bragging about how tough and dedicated they are to a cause Navalny lived it. He voluntarily went back to Russia after he was treated in Europe for being poisoned by Putin. He knew he was going to be jailed and / or dead when he did that.
For those wondering why Nalvany went back to Russia it was because he didn’t feel he could do as much outside of Russia. He knew what was likely to happen but it was important for him to be a symbol of resistance. He martyred himself in the truest since.
Guy was a true Russian patriot. Went back to Russia absolutely knowing his life was in danger. Now he's a martyr, which is what Russia needs. RIP
I watched several interviews with him and he loved Russia and wanted to see real change. I am sure putin would have gotten him anywhere in the world but the fact he WENT back to Russia after almost dying from being poisoned by putin is beyond my comprehension..............not sure I would have the balls to do that. this is the guy who is praised by folks like trump and tunker..........and for any of the maga extremist who think its ok to let russia win the war, this is the guy you want to have more control of Europe? He is a murdering dictator; he has shown the world who he is............BELIEVE HIM.
RIP It was checkmate the moment he got sick. Putin could tell him how he'd live or die in foreign soil. I hope he lived in less physical pain than imagined, but he lived in a literal Orwellian Dystopia with modern day advancements that would make 1984 look like a crude rough draft coughed up by chatgpt. I hope this consolidation and Putin coming out of his covid bunker isn't the second coming of the antichrist but rather last throes for an isolated and rambling geriatric.
Nalvany: Spent years fighting against an autocratic ruler. Survived a poisoning attempt. Returned to the country knowing he'd be seized. Arrested, quickly tried and held in prison with new sentences handed down without any real trial. Transferred to work prisons in Siberia. Trump: Charged in multiple jurisdictions after being indicted by grand juries comprised of citizens Going through a legal process that he has dragged out for an extended period of time without ever being held in detention or having his assets frozen Free to do anything he wants Favorite to be re-elected to a position where he can make all of this go away Hasn't been found guilty yet of anything Going through a legal process where he will be judged by juries comprised of citizens and presided over a judge ALL OF WHOM HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PRESIDENT Same thing. MAGA is so stupid. They genuinely are arguing that a POTUS CANDIDATE can never be investigated, charged or convicted for anything in this country.
