Excerpts of a memoir written by late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny revealed he believed he would die in prison.
The New Yorker magazine published the excerpts Friday in anticipation of the release of “Patriot” on Oct. 22.
Navalny was President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest and most prominent foe and relentlessly campaigned against official corruption in Russia. He died in a remote Arctic prison in February while serving a 19-year sentence on several charges, including running an extremist group, which he said were politically motivated.
i know i couldn’t do the same and i struggle to understand why it’s amazing or why he did it.
did this guy have sort of trump like distortion field that made him believe he was the chosen one or did he do something to earn his fame? what was he hoping to accomplish by going back? was he expecting to pull off a napoleon and that people would join his side on his return?
i don’t expect a constructive response from you based on your post history in this thread; but maybe someone else can edify me since google makes him look much worse than the american media.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Navalny did something whether you approve of it or not.
But what did he do besides let himself be executed pointlessy?
lived as a hero. sacrificed himself for a greater cause. stood on the right side of history. set an example.
even when things are hopeless, one can still choose for the light.

His sacrifice of his life means that his ideology and fight will live on in others who follow his footsteps.
How do you think Jesus became so well known?
Jesus was forced down everyone’s throat regardless of what you believe; so I fail to see the comparison.
There has to have been a better way; Russia is already too lousy w needless & pointless deaths.
2000 years ago he died for our sins on a cross. Why didn’t his story die with him? Because his death made him a martyr, and martyrs live forever.
The same will happen with Navalny and his ideology.
Except Jesus wasn’t real. Navalny was.
The story still stands. If it didn’t you wouldn’t even recognize Jesus’ name.
Oh… Oh no. Honey…
