Alexey Navalny Gave His Life. Listen to His Message

Don’t be afraid. If people take one lesson from the life of Alexey Navalny, let that be it. The courage he demonstrated will be required in abundance to carry on the mission for which he made the ultimate sacrifice.

For more than a decade, Navalny occupied one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet: leading the opposition to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s increasingly despotic regime. The fact that he survived as long as he did is a testament to how well he filled the role. With bravery, wit and sophistication, he became such a conspicuous irritant that he couldn’t quietly be eliminated.
