Blaming Putin just because the guys was in jail seems like a bit much. Where are the real reporters who are unbiased?

His wife was able to get him transferred to Germany and this is sort of where the documentary starts. He has 2 children. I couldn’t understand why he insisted on going back to Russia when he could have stayed in Germany. 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. 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. It’s very sad. probably won’t change anything re how the world deals with Putin.
I totally agree. He could have done more good by continuing to post anti-Putin messages from abroad. It made zero sense to go back to Russia. It was 100% predictable he was going to die. And changes nothing now.
Navalny was only 47 and Putin is 71. He just needed to wait Putin out.
It would have made more sense for him to live and wait Putin out. He could have done much more, and now Putin has “won.”

Is there a place to honor Navalny in DC?

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.
