Yup.
Utterly awed by his behaviour throughout.
Opposed to his ideology, but the idea of political prisoners is so repugnant, and I think anyone can admire his unflinching fight against corruption.
A few might be willing to risk death, but the prospect of torture extended over many years is chilling to the core. Seems Navalny was under no illusions which he was facing into when he openly returned to Russia having already been poisoned.
A hero. May his resistance be an inspiration.
Actually - don't know much about his ideology, what did you find distasteful?
Far-right nationalism.
EDIT: to be clear, he wasn't imprisoned for this, but for standing against Putin & against corruption.
