Navalny’s friends knew he was willing to become a martyr if that’s what it took to stand up to Putin.
Alexei Navalny’s long struggle against President Putin began with a humorous blog and culminated in repeated demonstrations of his willingness to risk his own life. According to the Russian authorities on Friday, he has now died in prison.
Russia’s leading opposition voice has been silenced.
Other dissident figures went into exile or died in mysterious circumstances over the past decade, leaving Navalny as the last national figure with a dedicated following.
Though he had been arrested many times before, Navalny’s defining moment in the eyes of many Russians came after the attempt to assassinate him with Novichok. He recuperated in the sanctuary of a German hospital but chose to defy Putin and return to Russia in January 2021, knowing full well he would end up in prison.
Why the fuck are we celebrating this fascist?
I love how everyone is dogpilling without giving any arguments.
Fuck off russian sock puppet.
Should I feel bad for Wagner because they opposed Putin?
The fuck makes you think i’m supporting russia?
Your name suits you, brain dead cultist
I hope you’re dead.
Nah, sorry man. You must be severely mentally challenged to respond to a months old comment that no longer exists. Hope you get well soon fascist.

https://www.rightsinrussia.org/aleksandr-verkhovsky/ doesn’t seem like a pro-fascist (although I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody made such a story up, now that he has defended Navalny), so I’m supposing his opinion in this is good enough. Calling Navalny a fascist at this point seems like a tankie talking point specifically designed to denounce the message he was putting out in his last years.
“We become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.” – Aristotle
So your argument is that he was fascist but not anymore?
Him being the opposition was apparently good enough. Never mind that he was a Russian nationalist that definitely supports the annexation of Ukraine and the ethnic cleansing of Caucasians. A real meat old boss, same as old boss situation.
Finally a sane take. The enemy of your enemy is not your friend. I hate how western media is whitewashing the likes of Kissinger and Navalny.
Under what rock did you live for last 10 years? This doesn’t look like support.
