If anyone is seriously interested in Navalny

[MsAmerica]

a poster in another forum mentioned a WSJ article:

Just as Russia’s Most-Famous Dissident Seemed Set to Go Free, Tragedy Struck
Alexei Navalny’s death in prison cut short a high-stakes swap advanced by a U.S. diplomat who went rogue
By Joe Parkinson and Drew Hinshaw
https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/navalny-death-carstens-diplomat-swap-c481f490?mod=hp_lead_pos7

Actually, it turned out to be a double article on two successive days, and it was the second one which was news to me - the great, heartbreaking story of the efforts to free Navalny. The WSJ has a paywall, so I went to the library to read it.

But now I see that there is a free link to the second part - which is the better one if you already know the public basics.

It breaks my heart.

No one here but me still thinks of, and grieves for, Navalny?

:(

The latest: Yes, Putin killed him.

No one seems interested because unlike say Gaza it's not trending and posters on social media will get more likes posting about Gaza than they will about say Navalny or Sudan.

It's all the fault of the social media algorithms.

I loved Navalny, was heartbroken when he died. Thanks for sharing OP.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you referring to MN?

Thank you. I appreciate that.

I still think of Navalny. incredible man, so brave. Thanks for the links.
