A Martyr for Democracy

Posted on February 16, 2024 by Geoff Coupe

Terrible news that Alexei Navalny has died in the Artic Penal Colony where he was being held “after a fall”. Defenestration comes in many forms it would seem, but it too often befalls those whom Putin views as his enemies.

About Geoff Coupe

I'm a British citizen, although I have lived and worked in the Netherlands since 1983. I came here on a three year assignment, but fell in love with the country, and one Dutchman in particular, and so have stayed here ever since. On the 13th December 2006 I also became a Dutch citizen.

    Sudden Russian Death Syndrome strikes again. Putin is a very nasty piece of work.

      Agreed. He seems to have reached the point where he does not care about how he is seen by the rest of the world, so will be unassailable by any claims to acting decently or morally.

        Doing it to someone that prominent right after the Tucker Carlson interview basically says he doesn’t give a flying f**k what anyone thinks now.
