"Aleksey Navalny was a fearless advocate for his beliefs who died unbroken by the tyranny he opposed. He fought corruption, inspired millions and never wavered in his insistence on free expression, the rule of law, and a Russia that is accountable to the people and not a dictator. He died in unyielding defense of his vision of a better future for his country - a vision, and a courageous example, that will never die."

5. i wish

I wish I knew that I could be as brave as he was. I fear I value my own life too much. Not only Navalny, but many other have put their convictions above their lives. A shining example. Maybe if the stakes were high enough I could. I'll have to ponder more...

6. Thanks for the post, I don't expect the right leaning MSM will cover Obama's remarks. nt

7. President Obama always makes America proud.

He always knows the right thing to say. We were very fortunate to have him as our President.

8. President Obama's rhetorical gifts are head and shoulders above any other political leader in America today.

What a contrast between him and the second-grade-level verbal vomit of that orange thing who can't make a coherent sentence.

His words about Navalny are a stark contrast to TSF, who was actually rooting for Putin, not Navalny.

RIP, Alexei. We will see your dream of a Russia free of that tyrant come true.
