Anybody else watched 'Navalny' on HBOMax? For some reason, I started crying at the end. How

awful the world is. People, who want their freedom to just live their lives, exist the world over and are controlled by the rich and powerful. How do Russians fight against Putin (they had brief hope back in 2020)? How do we fight against the creeping fascism here?

I too have cried when I think of this extraordinary man and what he, and his family, have been put through.

I hope that Putin is put out of power soon and that Navalny (and Kara-Murza) can be part of a new and better Russia.

My cousin spent years assisting the people ofLatvia, Lithuania and Estonia in their independence & he has survived having his throat slit (!) and both wrists broken etc. by Putin’s ilk. One time he jumped out a window and escaped in a cab.
