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.

This is all laid out in the excerpts.
It was either sacrifice himself or every Russian he knew, loved, worked with.
I think we all did.
I mean, it was kind of amazing he lived as long as he did.

Americans don’t give a fuck about you or your particular war or if you’re a victim of a genocide, unless the news tell them to.

Wikipedia about this sourceNavalny was President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest and most prominent foe
He came in third in a mayoral election and his party never held a seat in government. As far as I can tell, he barely existed outside of western media.
He was also a massive Russian Nationalist who compared Chechens to cockroaches.
I’m not going to cry over a fascist killing another fascist.
Well, Russia is not exactly free and he did have a decent following in Russia. But western media indeed seem to present him a lot better than what he actually was.or at least seem to ignore that he was also a staunch nationalist.
I mean, we’re comparing him to Putin… Certainly was an easy choice
Yeah but because he was against Putin NaVaLnY gOoD
Poor you.
