Alexei Navalny has died fighting the evil empire under Putin. AN has paid the ultimate price for his opposition to the murderous regime that has enslaved the Russian people.
In his death Navalny will be a hero and a martyr for the cause of freedom in Russia. Will his funeral and remembrance of his death lead to protest and demands for a decent future, a better life, a government without Putin, an economy that provides for the people and not for war?
Where is the voice of the Russian Orthodox Church speaking out against the corruption, the unjust war, the evil occupation of land belonging to Ukraine? Why are the political murders not condemned by priests and prelates? Like John the Baptist, authentic voices of the Lord has been silenced through death. Murder, mayhem and misery are evident in Russia today, and the misery will continue as dead soldiers killed by a merciless and menacing machine are buried for such a dreadful cause.
Putin will go down in history as another evil tyrant and mass murderer, a war criminal.
Alexei, in the darkness you brought light.
You fought against the Kremlin's might.
You fought against their vicious lies.
You heard the anguish and the cries
of people wanting much better ways
Freedom and justice in their troubled days.
And now though dead yet still you speak
Even when so much is really bleak.
Your life and words will indeed live on
When all these despots are completely gone.
