  1. WE ALL MUST PRAY 🙏/ AND MEDITATE
    FOR ANOTHER HUMAN LIFE TO SURVIVE THIS CHALLENGE PLACED
    BEFORE US THAT IS AWAKENING ALL
    OF HUMANITY…. COLLECTIVELY LET
    US PRAY AND MEDITATE FOR THE GREATEST GOOD FOR NALVANY….🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!!!!!

  2. This is breaking my heart. I wish he had stayed out of Russia & never gone back in. Of COURSE this was going to happen. Imo, he could do so much more for this cause by staying safe & well elsewhere. Technology allows effective messaging, organizing remotely. It’s not my decision, but I don’t understand how this is meant to help. Dying a martyr? Will this really change anything under Putin? To me this is no longer effective activism as it may’ve been even 40-50 yrs ago.

  3. I still don’t understand why, when he recovered his poisoning, his health and gained global recognition, did he go back to Russia knowing he would be killed? He had a voice. He gave it away…unless his plan is to die. He is killing himself.

    1. He was probably already dying of the novichok poisoning. The German doctors may have bought him a little time and he’s going out with a bang. Mad respect.

    2. More than anything he is showing that no matter what, his own government cannot stop the love of his country and wanting to stop the tyranny and corrupt practices of the elites and oligarchs. He wants his government to change peacefully, but the government is ran by a few men who came from the soviet union and because of that the habits of the government will change with the next generation of politicians possibly taking over

  4. If Don the Con were still president, he would have definitely sided with Putin over Navalny.

    1. Like why do you care? imagine if the rest of the world sanctioned America for not electing Trump the president. Biden is a horrible racist dictator and should be removed from power.

    2. @Leaf racist dictator? Biden?? 🤭🤣

      You’re kidding, right???

      “Trumpers” are liable to “attack” my reply.. but please, by all means — show some evidence. Because if anything, trump was more of a dictator and. *DEFINITE RACIST. 💯*

      Have a marvelous day sweetheart 💕

  5. Reminds me of a story I was told, once upon a time… Young boy walking home, sees a snake. Boy greets it, snake is tired & tells the boy he needs help to get home. Boy says no because you will bite me & I’ll die. Several times this went on till the boy gives in. When they get to the destination, snake bites the boy. Boy asked why, you promised. Snake replies “you knew what I was & knew I would bite you & you’ll die because of your choice”. This has stayed with me for years & I’m careful of choices. Now passed on to my grandchildren. Some will understand the story & Some will ignore it. CHOICES DO HAVE CONSEQUENCES… Good or bad but be responsible for the choice YOU make. OWN IT

  6. Let’s not forget that the International Criminal Court is still investigating the Kerch Strait Incident; in which Russia violated both “The Law of of the Sea”, and what’s happening in Crimea is a violation of the Geneva Accords.
    …..nevermind their human rights record, and the Holodomor.

  7. We watched a person dying in front of our eyes when Chauvin kneed George’s neck. Now this.
