Alexei Navalny: What Was the Source of His Courage?

[phkrause]

After surviving an assassination attempt, the dissident returned to Russia where he knew he’d be arrested and likely killed. Why?

The killing of Alexei Navalny, the Russian dissident who courageously stood up to President Putin, was not a surprise. Putin had already tried to poison him with the nerve agent Novichok in 2020. What was surprising was that, as soon as German doctors in a Berlin hospital had succeeded in saving his life, Navalny got on a plane and returned to Russia. He knew he was flying into the jaws of the wolf, the repressive Putin government whose corruption he had exposed and which he had vociferously opposed. Indeed, as soon as Navalny landed in Moscow he was arrested on trumped-up charges and imprisoned. Navalny's team believes he was murdered on the orders of Putin.
