Couldn't fine my thread with that name... (A few of my threads have disappeared since the beginning of the war... strange...)

Nonetheless. Alexei Navalny is charge again and put in SIZO (a very small chamber within a jail) again and he made a speech.

I'll post the link to his speech below. But I want to point your attention to the size of the man. The personality. The presence. The spirit. The stature.




‘Everyone has to make some kind of sacrifice’

Facing another 20 years in prison for ‘extremism,’ Navalny’s courtroom speech urges others to fight the ‘unscrupulous evil’ of the Russian authorities

The state prosecutor is seeking to sentence Alexey Navalny to 20 years in a special regime colony on charges of “extremism.” The prosecutor also requested that the second defendant in the case, Daniel Kholodny, be sentenced to 10 years in a general regime colony. The proceedings took place behind closed doors, and journalists and observers were not permitted in the courtroom. The verdict will be announced on August 4.

Some have neither. Has Putin a conscience? Maybe he'll find it on his deathbed or if he has the misfortune to fall out a window or even worse drown while swimming in the Volga. He's taken Russia back behind the iron curtain . Why ? Does he really believe that the West would invade with threat of nuclear deterent ? He's invaded Geogia Crimea Ukraine . Will the Russian people ever be free of dictators ? We're not perfect in the west but we don't murder
our political opponents . Will he be next for the chop or is he hoping he can rid himself of those who might come for his position of power . "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely " George Orwell .
