[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HBO did a great documentary a year or so on him, I highly recommend it. I didn’t know much about him, and I do get the controversy around him but he was definitely poisoned by Putin’s agent on that airplane.

His wife was able to get him transferred to Germany and this is sort of where the documentary starts. He has 2 children. [b]I couldn’t understand why he insisted on going back to Russia when he could have stayed in Germany. [/b]He gets on a plane, with press and his wife and as soon as they land in Russia he’s arrested and he was in custody ever since.

I don’t agree at all with Putin or Russian politics. [b]But when you have children, to me it was crazy that he left them again. You just knew he would die. And now he has. [/b]It’s very sad. probably won’t change anything re how the world deals with Putin.  [/quote]

In Russia, having a job that opposes Putin's views carries a risk equivalent to what it would be here in the US — in the army, police, or fire department. Navalny chose the path of an (honest) politician in Russia. He didn't want to become one in safe exile and tell his people how to fight Putin. Instead, he returned to his people, believing in them. To understand more about the consequences of opposing Putin, look up names like Politkovskaya or Nemtsov. Currently, there are two opposition politicians in Russian prisons — Ilya Yashin and Vladimir Kara-Murza, also true heroes. [/quote]

Karamurza is a British national.[/quote]
