Someone once asked her why she put up with Stalin's persecution, including being formally labeled a "Non-Writer," rather than go into exile. She responded by saying her life was there with the Russian people who she would never leave. Below is a link to a great piece that touches on one of her best-known poems ("Requiem").
Novalny was an inspiration to the entire world community. He offered himself to martyrdom willingly and without hesitation. While we were sometimes caught off guard by his immediate returns to Russia after suffering torturous near-deaths, we still applauded his fortitude and his internal belief that he was meant to be Putin’s kryptonite.
He will haunt Putin forever, as Vlad knows what kind of man Novalny was, and that he is so much less. Somewhere in his sadistic brain he has respect for Alexei Novalny, and always will.
As goes Prighozin so goes Navalny. Much lesser figures have fallen. Memories Eternal. Navalny knew where he was headed. Martyrdom. As I have read, he was a believer in Russia Mir. Not a pro NATO or Ukrainian advocate. His only dissent was corruption and democratic suppression in Russia. AM I right? Navalny was not a supporter of western political influence and politic. Enemy of our enemy , is our friend is not always true.
What a most extraordinary man. No wonder Putin was afraid of him.
I stand corrected at your more informed position
What a powerful essay, Mr. Ziperovich. Thank you.
Anna Akhmatova is one of my favorite poets.
