Alexei Navalny, a prominent opposition figure against Vladimir Putin's regime, has been confirmed dead in a Russian prison, as announced by Russian State media. Before his death, Navalny recorded a video message intended for release in the event of his demise, emphasizing his call to action for the Russian people and supporters worldwide. In this message, and notably in the Oscar-winning 2022 documentary about his life directed by Daniel Roher, titled "Navalny," he urged people not to give up in the face of evil, stating, "If they decide to kill me, it means we are incredibly strong." His words, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing. So don't do nothing," have resonated globally, receiving acknowledgments from figures such as Hillary Clinton and Richard Branson, who highlighted Navalny's courage and the impact of his final message.
