"If your convictions are worth anything, you should be ready to stand up for them and, if necessary, make some sacrifices. And if you're not ready, then you have no convictions at all - you just think you do....By returning, I fulfilled my promise to my voters. After all, there must eventually be those in Russia who do not lie to them."
"Power. Should. Change. Hands.
The best way to choose a government is through honest and free elections.
Everyone needs a fair judiciary.
Corruption destroys the State.
There should be no censorship.
These principles are the future.
And now, sectarians and marginals are in power. Generally, they have no ideas. Their only goal is to cling to their seats. Perfected hypocrisy allows them to adopt and adapt any disguise."
The quick rise of Yulia Navalnaya in Russian politics echoes the story of other female politicians who gained prominence after their husbands or fathers died or were killed.
One of the difficult questions now is whether Navalnaya can gain real political headway if she doesn’t return to Russia (where she presumably would not be safe).
Today, we had a largish raid group of 11+ to take on an #OriginFormePalkia in - it turned out to be a good raid.
Just for fun, my strongest ditto was backing up my mega salamence who was in #1 position. Turns out that the ditto's shapeshift did not cancel out my salamance's mega form which was a happy surprise 😁
President Vladimir #Putin met with billionaire #RomanAbramovich to discuss swapping the late opposition activist #AlexeiNavalny for Russians jailed in the West just hours before he died in an Arctic prison last month, the investigative outlet Agentstvo reported Friday, citing four sources familiar with the matter. #Russia#Ukraine
Ahead of a concert in #Vilnius on Thursday, band members met with exiled Belarusian opposition leader #SvetlanaTikhanovskaya and supporters of late Kremlin critic #AlexeiNavalny who died in an Arctic prison last month.
People also wrote '#Navalny' on their ballots & took it to his grave.
Long queues formed at several polling stations in Moscow and other Russian cities as people took up a call from #AlexeiNavalny’s widow to head to the polls at noon on Sunday in a symbolic show of dissent against Vladimir #Putin’s all but certain re-election as president. #Ukraine
