A true hero died today, but a legend is born. Alexei to me will always be example of what it means to have balls of steel, vision and clear goal in life. Rest in peace Ljosha
What about Gonzalo Lira? Why did the American government turn it's back on it's own citizen?
@@citrusretna2088 Lira was supporting Russia in the war in Ukraine. The US would hardly challenge his arrest for breaking Ukrainian law. He was a traitor to his country. The only time he spent in the US was when he went to college here. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Not by death only can legends be born. ☝️
Western spy becomes worm.food
The more interviews I see of Navalny the more I am impressed by his character and bravery. What an extraordinary man.
Kakve gluposti on je bio zapadni placenik koji je poslat da izaziva obojenu revoluciju u rusiji i zapad ga se sada resio da ga likvidira jer gube rat u ukraini
I don't understand who interviews an opposition leader of another country with such excitement and joy? Has Russia interviewed any US opposition leader like this? Russia has not even interviewed Donald Trump whom US accuses of being a "Putin Puppet". Why?
@@theepiccreator2042 The difference is that this guy was real life Robin Hood going against all these corrupt giants. Trump isnt even 20% of the man that Navalniy was...
@@theepiccreator2042tucker Carlson.
@@clovisdacruz6078 Carlson had a normal interview. An interview about facts. Not about Putin's well-being. You were so quick to respond to my comment. So what about the second part of my comment? Q1: Why hasn't any Russian journalist ever interviewed a US president? Q2: And do you think any Russian journalist would be allowed to interview an opposition leader of the US?
The fact that he has been killed it’s absolutely infuriating.
Looks like it’s gonna be time for our generation to continue the greatest generation’s legacy.
Were you infuriated when Gonzalo Lira died?
@@jackmedlock5888 This time you will be fighting on the side of the Nazis
I don't see any prove he's been killed, I told him not to eat that fish.
@@citrusretna2088 Thx for the info, I didn't know about the guy. But it's completely different, Gonzalo Lira spontaneously was against Ukraine and spreading disinformation on its soil. Dying of Pneumonia is common.
I can't believe he's gone now...
It was inevitable...
Great.
Lol
😅good he is a puppet
😅good he is a puppet
What a guy. He would have been an amazing leader
What a change & light would he have made to the Russian people!
Navalnyi - True leader of Russian people
Leaders like this, are never elected. Only corrupt leaders get elected in the end. Look around
And he didn't need a translator, he spoke amazing good English, not like some other political leaders who suck at languages. He was clearly not only a well-prepared politician, but honest as well as brave. Rest in peace. You'll be remembered for your integrity. You'll be in our ❤s forever.
Yes, I believe he would have changed the face of Russia and normalized its politics and relations with the West. Plus he and his family are (were) attractive to boot. I had hope, somehow, he would someday lead Russia on this path.
My heart breaks for your family, like-minded countrymen, and really, the world. The terrible loss of such a courageous, brilliant person tears at one's soul.
he was a nationalist in the best sense of the word, he loved russian people, and russians hate each other more than anyone else @@user-mc8wi2lg2m
I am very sad. I am in mourning. I feel like a member of my family has died. I am surprised I feel so badly.
IF YOU ARE ALL THESE GO TO DRINK A LEMONADE AND YOU WILL FEEL BETTER
Whole world loved HIM ❤️
@@masaacc-cr9uo ONLY YOU AND SOME OTHER LIKE YOU.... LOVE HIM. DO NOT SPEAK IN OTHER PEOPLES NAME. IT EXIST ONLY IN YOUR TRAGIC IMAGINATION
eeeeeeeee
Gonzalo Lira😢
Feel pity that Russian people couldn’t be governed by this wonderful personality
I am heartbroken for Dasha and her family, for Russia, and for the world. Navalny will live on in his words: "Don't give up."
Is your heartbroken for Gonzalo Lira?
@@citrusretna2088learnu to ingrishu, pidarazz yobani
She's moved on. Got a new beau. She isn't bothered. Don't worry about it.
Poison is a coward's weapon.
Saw him once in Bali. It was around 2017, he had rented white little Suzuki and stick NAVALNY 2018 at the back window. He was about to run for president. He was there with his little son, standing in Indomaret and buying him some sweets. I was there with my little daughter. I realized it was him after I left the store. Would have told him how great work he has done. Sad, very sad.
A thousands of salute of this brave man. Rest in peace
This man has earned his name to be in the history books, what a hero! Rest in peace, Aleksej...🙏
I am so impressed by this interview. Powerful and touching at the same time.
I endlessly admire the strength, bravery, vitality, humor, passion of this man after everything he´s been through. I must say that I am quite surprised how much I feel touched now by his dead. He wasn´t my relative, my friend, I have never seen him personaly. But I feel something special when I see him talking, something in his eyes, in his voice what makes him special, extraordinary man although he surely wasn´t perfect man. I am terribly sorry for this loss, loss for his family but also loss for all of us who has the same or similar ideals he had. I hope that his loss wasn´t useless, that although Navalny with his uniqueness could hardly be replaced, someday there will be someone who will make it and we will win ideals represented by Navalny over the evil represented by Putin and others around him. All of us could take an example of this bravery beautiful man and try to use it in our ordinary life. Every bit counts.
Another man of courage and dignity gone.Evil prevails temporarily.
What a fighter , you deserved better navalny, what a hero.
WHAT A TRAITOR !!
True leader of Russian people
@@masaacc-cr9uo THE LEADER OF THE TRUE RUSSIAN PEOPLE [AND NOT THE TRAITORS OF RUSSIA.......] IS ONLY ONE.....VLADIMIR PUTIN........THIS IS THE TRUE YOU LIKE IT OR NOT..
@thanatiforoxtipima1646 well done, here's your 50 kopecks
@@thanatiforoxtipima1646the traitor is still in the Kremlin. The true Russian patriots know that Russia deserve peace and prosperity: Putin makes everything to go in the opposite direction.
What a brave, strong man. Horrible horrible what they did to him. His wife is so brave too.
He never should have returned to Russia in 2021.
Correct. Influence can be carried over long distances. Look at all the damage our US does all over the world without having to leave an office.
He couldn't. The main point of all our state propaganda against opposition for a dozen years now is "western influence". It's hard to deny that being in the west )). Putin's money poured into propaganda narratives made russian ppl extremely xenophobic, he wanted to create the need of a "strong leader, nation defender" against enemy. Putin wanted him to stay abroad, he knew he can handle him there. Navalny also knew staying safe means play into Putin's plans and didn't want to give him that. He knew his life is in danger, of course, he returned to ppl who poisoned him once after all, but maybe he thought we already would throw off Putin by now. I feel myself guilty for failing him anyway, I feel he expressed more belief in us, russian politicized part of society than action we actually provided. But now he will be an eternal avatar of my political conscience and constant reminder of the cost of staying away of the politics.
He was aching for his country and its future. A true progressive patriot. His wife told about it to a KZhead journo she KNEW he would want to return as soon as possible but she put some sense into him regarding the need of complete rehabilitation. He could never live abroad. Illogical and unsafe, yes, but he was like that, lived by his heart
@@mehabox Better to live for your children. Life is Chess it was not the correct move with a tyrant and psychopath like "putin the shameless". No one ever really knows the full truth. Kremlin could have made him return by threats of assasinating other members of his family if he did not. They as any other government are capable of anything. When Bin ladin was killed it was live streamed to the white house as it happened. It can easily be done with family members in Russia or else where just as easily. Life in politics is dirty ruthless and treacherous.
His Western handler sent him back.
Remarkable man. Such a loss for his family and for Russia as well. It‘s not every day somebody with his character and bravery comes along.
God bless his brave soul, RIP!!!

Just got announced that Navalny died, R.I.P. 🕊️ He was one of the few who spoke against Putin’s corrupt government and dictatorship.
Always happens around the world 🌍
Rip
Yeah meanwhile an American President is supporting the evil of Putin!! It’s more at stake than the economy but democracy and freedom itself! Please pay attention everyone!
He's been killed
How dare Trump compare himself to this brave man!!
How dare Biden condemn Putin.

@@annai8162I'm not any leftist but this is a pathetic comparison. I agree Trump is free to run for office. The US has big problems. But this is a poor take, ma'am...because thousands, millions of Americans can call Biden or any politician here out on stuff and not suffer the way this man did.
Saw his daughter giving a Ted Talk and she is so like her brave father. What a fantastic family ❤

Very interesting interview of Mr Nalvany. What a courage! Before he died
Lots of charisma. RIP fighter.
This is very sad. May his brave soul rest in peace 🙏 very courageous man
Alexei Navalny you’ll be dearly missed, your courage will never be forgotten ! I feel very sad for your family, I’m so sorry for their loss 💕
When Robert Kennedy was killed in June of 1968 it ripped my heart out in the hope for something better for my country. Feb 16 , 2024 I can only think of how much worse it is for Russia to lose so much what if ? Small planet and we all have the same thing in common. 1 life to live. Sad when good people get cut down with so much more life to live and to give more than they take . Such is the life of Alexey Navalny , words of his death do no honor to such a a person with courage that he can give up that one life to go back to Russia . Hope Russians will rise up like those who shouted I'M SPARTACUS , NO I'M SPARTACUS . Hope is death is not in vain .
A brave man, he will never be forgotton.
What an incredible man.
he was indeed a fearless hero. In a perfect world, he would have replaced Puitin. I still cant believe that Trump actually compared himself to this great man.
God, bless this heroic man!
Indeed.
He died today 16 Feb 2024.

It is not easy to talk about Nawalny without having hater comments all around. I really wish people would stop hating one another so much, so that they wish death to their enemies or even to people who have a different opinions. This is what worries me most. Let this man rest in peace now. He fought for justice. He had big opponents. He lost. Now let him have his peace. 🕊🕊🌹🌹🌹
Most of hatred comments are part of puten's propaganda. Cut and block them off if you can.
Do you say that to the putin haters too? Thought not.
@@holycannoli64 Yes, to Putin haters it is the same. Stop wishing death to other humans! I do not even wish death to Putin. If everybody, right at this moment, would stop hating at all, then the world would be instantly a much better place.

I admired his bravery and commitment. I respect his decision to return to Russia, nevertheless, I believe he would have been more useful and effective working abroad. His return was a death sentence, it was a question of when would be convenient for Putin and his gov to make it happen or simply allow to happen. Still, as Assange, his spirit and work must be kept alive as both make the world of all corrupted shake. One person (with billions behind) made an entire empire tremble, let´s not forget this.
Tall, handsome man with a courage of his conviction, possessed by very few.
I wouldnt have gone back... Knowing your going to die in prison. He truelly is a rare kind
Yes, he is very handsome and he's a very good man.
He's somehow got more handsome in prison...became thinner from lack of food :(
R.I.P brave heart and amzing human
Wish the guy didn't go back to get thrown in prison.. he could be doin much more on the outside
Russia is no joke to try this stuff indeed.
There are plenty of folks who do great work in exile. He walked his talk and knew that it was important to do the work there. To show bravery and not run. God bless him forever. ❤

in the end, it's only possible to complete his will and thoughts by russian citizens in russia. if not, who else can change? i am wishing the russian people won't waste his sacrifice. and the rest of the world should remember well once again what putin is capable,and what his goal could be. I will remember Navalny's passion and bravery until the end of my life.

Rip Navalny - You were a man the 🌍 was proud of and should have been 🇷🇺’s leader
Pffft! You clearly know NOTHING about Russian domestic politics! Anyone who knows something about it will know that 1) He is NOT the good guy the West paints him to be (he has NEVER once recanted and repented for his far-right links and his racist statements against minorities, and even claimed "Cuz they are true!"), and 2) He NEVER had a chance to sit in the Kremlin to begin with (as long as most of the Russian voters are old enough to remember the 1990s - those currently in their mid 30s and up, and these will be the majority of the voters for at least the next 20 years - when they last had leaders the West liked, people like him will NEVER do well in Elections)! Plus, what makes you think the Siloviki would let someone who is too chummy with Western government officials - as indicated by his repeated visits to the US Embassy in Moscow in the past - sit in the Kremlin again (they learned their lesson from Gorbachev and Yeltsin already)? 🤣🤣🤣
