**tim**: I connect with this emotionally more than I probably should.

Navalny was in a Berlin hospital for some time after the poisoning attempt. He then voluntarily returned to Russia, well knowing that he'd be arrested.

To me, he has balls! In hindsight, it was clear that crossing over the border to Russia eventually meant his imprisonment and death, and so I guess what I can say is that I admire the bravery to give your life for a just cause like freedom. One can only hope that this, too, was all part of his plan.

**macbudkowski.eth**: Such a brave man. There's a document about him. I had it on my watchlist for some time, and I guess now is the time to watch it.

The trailer is moving:

**kripcat.eth**: Seemed like only a matter of time. Surprised actually that it took this long. Much respect for him going back to Russia after leaving the Berlin hospital knowing what awaited him. True courage.
