I can assure you I will never forget the name.

Not all bravery is stupid. When people point to so-called inevitabilities of human character, as Putin and his ilk often do, I'll recall Navalny's name.

I'll also recall the victories that were only possible thanks to people of similar courage. Things looked as helpess for Václav Havel, but without him we wouldn't have had the Velvet Revolution.

I remember their names.



Imagine what these people could have done if they weren't at this point... just names that few, even of many few will remember. Ask the same question in a decade.


Thanks for this.
