You are the bravest man in the world to take on what you are doing. You have a beautiful wife, 2 children ❤ who all love you. I am praying 🙏 to God to get you out of that rathole.
This life is cruel, and there are many people who are tortured and suffering, including this man !!! I am extremely angry and sad how someone can abuse his position and power to abuse another human being like this !!!!! This is truly appaling
Bravo director Daniel Roher! "Navalny" is a riveting and brilliant documentary film paced like a thriller while shot in real time. Alexey Navalny's courage should inspire us all not to fear totalitarian despotic murderers such as Mr. Putin but to stand up and fight back for what we believe in. I am in awe of Navalny's supportive family. REPLY
Only a coward of a person would try to poison his adversary. This same coward tells his troops they are on an exercise while sending them to war. This same woward lies to its people that we are not at war while comanding his troops to shell daycare and residents the innocent. This coward is a mad-man with his finger on the nuclear button.
Putin is a coward that's hiding yet all his opposers are brave and out front spreading the thing Putin is afraid of. The truth. he is. Hiding behind excuses and he thinks it shows power...I think it shows a pathetic wimp who can't handle a reality he has not created ...
@@larmar Nothing really. He'll lose. Just look at all the luxury, gold and bling he surrounds himself with. This is not the man who is ready to press the red button I assure you.
It would be a surprise. If ever. And not such a surprise otherwise. Unfortunate, that there wasn't a better team of advocacy and know how. This run a muck, resulting in almost near nothing but 'the same bleep, different day'. 😏😔
I'd like to see this doco, I find it difficult to comprehend why he returned to Russia from Germany, He's obviously extremely brave but it's bordering on stupid subjecting yourself to decades in prison, especially after the government likely tried to kill you, Nelson Mandela survived decades in prison to go on to be President so it has been done before.
Because if he didn't he would have to lead ru opposition outside, creating problems for kremlin during future war. He was ordered by his handlers to return.
I love documentaries so much and I was so happy that a documentary not in English won. I hope more Russian language documentary movies are made and get nominated for Oscars and win. Maybe one about autism in Russia or about gay in Russia or Russian mythology or about TV Rain or about Andrey Rublev or about Ivan Pavlov or Russian kids playing soccer or Russian kids playing chess or about Russian Olympic Committee In memory of Alexei Navalny
Свободу Навальному. В России все наоборот -преступники живут в роскоши и имеют права на всё и имеют большую власть . А люди достойные и думающие о благе страны и народа сидят в тюрьме и их жизнь в руках надзирателей . свободу всем полит заключённым. Всем людям земли желаю мира.
@Iryna Vyshnevska In his presidential program, he put forward a number of ideas and ready-made programs. Among them are the restructuring of the police system, the rejection of the current form of vertical power in it, the increase in salaries for lower ranks, the optimization of the work of employees of budgetary institutions (doctors, teachers, policemen, etc.) by eliminating senseless bureaucracy. Also lowering the mortgage rate, taxes for small businesses, almost doubling the minimum wage, increasing spending on the education and healthcare systems by redirecting money seized from corrupt officials, reducing spending on officials, and abolishing unnecessary departments and positions in the law enforcement system. Alexei Navalny proposed changing the structure of the armed forces, redistributing the budget to abolish the conscription system and creating an exclusively contract army. Reducing subsidies for corrupt state corporations, subsidies to the federal media, increasing taxes in the gas industry. In addition, his program includes an increase in the powers of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in order to increase independence in organizing the life of the regions and attract investment there, respectively. In addition to everything, his goals are to create a parliament with real, not fictitious powers, create an honest judiciary, reduce the administrative burden on business and demonopolize the economy. And all this is not just in words, these are real programs with a detailed analysis of situations in various fields and ready-made calculations. No one would take him seriously if his only goal was to fight corruption. He understands perfectly well that you can’t just take money from corrupt officials and hope that everything will change from this. Until recently, he did what he was most effective in in the absence of access to the administrative state powers - he exposed corrupt officials, but this doesn't mean at all that he sees this as his only task. So I think your accusations against him are erroneous and unfounded.
@@camri Navalny is a kremlin puppet tasked with keeping oligarchs from stealing too much. He never made a political investigation into russian war crimes.
Покойся с миром. Прости, что не уберегли. Пусть тебе будет там лучше, чем нам здесь . И спасибо - за все. ❤️ P.s. PLEASE put the documentary on free sources such as RU-vid or at least make it available for purchase. As of right now, you can only watch it (not buy it) though services like MAX. It just seems like a rip-off and against everything Navalny worked to begin with.😢 Леша, Леша, доброй ночи, до прекрасного утра Соловецкий оцветочен полночь, всем домой пора каждый шлет тебе приветы каждый смотрит твои сны о прогнившем старом деде, что исчезнет до весны В полк небесной рати прибыл Ваш Навальный, все ок, Не скучайте, утро скоро, И не бойтесь сволочей
