Navalny: “My message for the situation when I am killed is very simple: not give up"

In 2022, the documentary “Navalny” chronicled the aftermath of Alexey Navalny’s poisoning. In the film, director Daniel Roher asked Navalny what message he would want to leave for the Russian people if he were to be killed, CNN reports.

In the film, director Daniel Roher asked Navalny what message he would want to leave for the Russian people if he were to be killed.

“My message for the situation when I am killed is very simple: not give up,” Navalny said in English.

“I’ve got something very obvious to tell you. You’re not allowed to give up,” Navalny said. “If they decide to kill me, it means that we are incredibly strong. We need to utilize this power, to not give up, to remember we are a huge power that is being oppressed by these bad dudes.

We don’t realize how strong we actually are. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing. So don’t be inactive.”

Alexey Navalny’s wife, Yulia Navalnaya, has said Russian President Vladimir Putin and his government will be "brought to justice" for the death of her husband.

“I want them to know that they will be punished for what they have done with our country, with my family, and with my husband,” she said at the Munich Security Conference on Friday, adding that she does not have confirmation of her husband’s death.

“They will be brought to justice and this day will come soon.” The news of Navalny's death came on Friday as world leaders gathered at the conference in southern Germany, where US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Navalnaya and "expressed his condolences," according to a State Department spokesperson.
