We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Excerpts of a memoir written by late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny revealed he believed he would die in prison.

The New Yorker magazine published the excerpts Friday in anticipation of the release of “Patriot” on Oct. 22.

Navalny was President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest and most prominent foe and relentlessly campaigned against official corruption in Russia. He died in a remote Arctic prison in February while serving a 19-year sentence on several charges, including running an extremist group, which he said were politically motivated.

His sacrifice of his life means that his ideology and fight will live on in others who follow his footsteps.

How do you think Jesus became so well known?

Jesus was forced down everyone's throat regardless of what you believe; so I fail to see the comparison.

There has to have been a better way; Russia is already too lousy w needless & pointless deaths.

2000 years ago he died for our sins on a cross. Why didn't his story die with him? Because his death made him a martyr, and martyrs live forever.

The same will happen with Navalny and his ideology.

Except Jesus wasn't real. Navalny was.

The story still stands. If it didn't you wouldn't even recognize Jesus' name.

they're right, jesus was a apocryphal story forced down everyone's throat and your defense paints navalny as a self-important martyr figure and google paints him as a xenophobic homophobe w a martr complex; whatever chance you had to edify the uninformed was lost in this bizarre jesus-christo-stupidity thing you decided to wrap into navalny's behavior.
