The bravery of this man is astounding. I can’t comprehend how he managed to stand up to the pressure he was placed under, and stay apparently resilient and in good humour
Opposed to his ideology, but the idea of political prisoners is so repugnant, and I think anyone can admire his unflinching fight against corruption.
A few might be willing to risk death, but the prospect of torture extended over many years is chilling to the core. Seems Navalny was under no illusions which he was facing into when he openly returned to Russia having already been poisoned.

Yup.
Utterly awed by his behaviour throughout.

A hero. May his resistance be an inspiration.
Actually - don’t know much about his ideology, what did you find distasteful?
Far-right nationalism.
EDIT: to be clear, he wasn’t imprisoned for this, but for standing against Putin & against corruption.
