Of all of the people I would love to have met in this world, but never will because they have passed away, Russian patriot Alexei Navalny is right near the top of the list. He was killed for opposing the Putin regime, and for becoming popular enough and strong enough to represent a threat to that regime.

In times of trouble in any part of the world, Navalny’s words remain an inspiration to us all. For example:

“We must do what they fear — tell the truth, spread the truth. This is the most powerful weapon against this regime of liars, thieves, ad hypocrites. Everyone has this weapon. So make use of it.”

– Alexei Navalny, “Patriot: A Memoir”

Just sayin’ . . .
