Courage

I saw on the news that people were demonstrating in the streets in support of Navalny, which tells me that there has to be strong support for Navalny for them to do that.

Hence why Putin wants him dead, Putin is no different from the old guard Stalinists, in fact if you really look into his history you will see that he is the old guard. I hope Navalny is not killed while in prison, but once someone has a Putin Hit on them I doubt it is ever rescinded.
 
I greatly admire this man and his wife. They do have courage. His fate with Biden in office will be far different than with Trump in office.

What an incredibly courageous wife to stand shoulder to shoulder with her husband to risk their lives in openly confronting Putin.

They could easily have remained safe and comfortable in Germany.
 
Alexei Navalny: The women fighting against Russian corruption

In the male-dominated world of Russian politics the women around jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny appear to symbolise his drive for change.

They are playing major roles as he prepares his Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) for parliamentary elections in September, despite a police crackdown.

Yulia Navalnaya
Married to Navalny since 2000, she says her life now involves "police stations, courts and home searches".

Lyubov Sobol
The 33-year-old lawyer is one of the best-known figures in Navalny's team and is currently under house arrest.

Anastasia Vasilyeva
This doctor's defiant spirit made her an international celebrity this month when a clip of her piano-playing went viral on social media. She played Beethoven's Für Elise while police were searching her flat.

Kira Yarmysh
Now under house arrest too, 31-year-old Kira Yarmysh has been Navalny's spokeswoman since 2014. She is usually by his side when he travels, and was with him when he collapsed during a flight in Siberia.

Biden administration unveils raft of sanctions on Russia over Navalny poisoning and imprisonment

Washington(CNN)-The Biden administration imposed a raft of sanctions on Russian officials and entities on Tuesday in response to the poisoning and imprisonment of opposition leader Alexey Navalny.

The actions -- taken in coordination with the European Union, which also unveiled sanctions -- represent the first significant move against Moscow since Joe Biden became President.

Trump-loving insurrectionists could learn a lot about courage, integrity, just causes from Russian protestors

More than 1,700 protesters were arrested in Russia on Wednesday as tens of thousands of Alexei Navalny supporters marched in demonstrations across the country.

OVD-info, the Russian human rights monitoring project, has been tracking the apprehensions, which started before the protests demanding that the Kremlin release the jailed opposition leader even began.

Navalny has been on a three week hunger strike in prison, where his physician said earlier this week he could die "at any minute" without the proper medical care. Supporters organized the rallies — defying a national ban — to pressure President Vladimir Putin and his government to release the anti-corruption campaigner and to stop the Kremlin from shuttering Navalny's organization.
