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.
He came in third in a mayoral election and his party never held a seat in government. As far as I can tell, he barely existed outside of western media.
He was also a massive Russian Nationalist who compared Chechens to cockroaches.
I’m not going to cry over a fascist killing another fascist.
Yeah but because he was against Putin NaVaLnY gOoD
Poor you.
