acko Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 RIP HERO https://edition.cnn.com/europe/live-news/alexey-navalny-dead-russia-prison-02-16-24/index.html Jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny dies, prison service says Jailed Russian opposition figure and outspoken Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny has died, the Russian prison service said. Navalny’s spokesperson said his lawyer is traveling to the Siberian penal colony where Navalny had been serving his sentence. His mother said she had just seen Navalny for a visit this week, and he was "alive, healthy and cheerful." Navalny made global headlines when he was poisoned with a nerve agent in 2020. The Russian opposition figure was sentenced to 19 years in prison in August. He was already serving sentences of 11-and-a-half years in a maximum security facility on fraud and other charges he denied. World leaders have reacted with shock and sadness to Navalny's death, with US President Joe Biden saying that if the reports of his death are confirmed, "make no mistake, Putin is responsible."

runa Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Tragic. Here’s someone who fought for what he believed in. He has all my admiration. A real HERO, indeed. May he rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotos8 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 what horrors he must have experienced in this prison .There are no men like him in the world right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber-Raga Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 RIP. I can’t possibly begin to imagine the pain and suffering he endured in that prison. He knew what was coming and yet voluntarily went back to Russia which indeed ended up being his death sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanctuary1995 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I hope I live to see Putler overthrown… but people of Russia are unfortunately either too scared or too brainwashed! I hope this awful tragedy serves as some kind of a push to stand up against this demonic regime that managed to turn the whole country into one big fucking concentration camp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing those motherfuckers I won’t be surprised if they burry him in some unknown place without marking the grave This regime is inhumane …. Russia needs to cease to exist in the way it does now, there is no excuse for it to be… black is called white there and white is called black! I hope it implodes from within the way it did in 1917 and then 1991… but this time definitively and for good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOD Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 what the media doesnt want you to see, this guy is not a fucking hero. He's a xenophobe, racist and nationalist. Also read few places this guy was a CIA asset. I don't condone his murder though. Hero is Julian Assange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieciolot Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Unfortunately he was a Russian nationalist, believing in great Russia. He supported Russian invasion on Georgia referring to Georgians as rodents. In 2014 he opposed the invasion on Crimea but also said he didn't believe Crimea could be just 'handed back' to Ukraine after post-Putin Russia.

He has questionable past/decisions/nationalistic affiliations. However he was a hero even just for the fact that he decided to return back to RU, understanding he may be jailed and/or killed. He faced both. And Assange? Uou! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any country’s leader can be viewed as a nationalist, someone who acts in the nation’s interest (think of any USA president or British prime minister). There are also the so-called “nationalists” who are more populists, who step over dead bodies to achieve their personal goals to rule forever (think Mugabe, Ayatollah, putin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
