    It’s so terrible that people are led to believe that their death is worth so much. This poor man lost his life, literally the most precious gift given to you, because he believed that losing it in protest would maybe make a change.

    But the sad reality of it, is that he’ll be forgotten and ignored like so many others. He could have made more impact by living.

      I said the same of Navalny, being high profile doesn’t automatically make your death a momentous occasion. Nothing changed, no spark, just more of Putins regime with one less member of the opposition. Even Lenin fled Russia when his enemies were trying to kill him, what good did dying do?
