Alexei Navalny was born on June 4, 1976, in Moscow, Russia, 24 years younger than his future political opponent, Putin. Despite being born into a wealthy family and owning shares in a wicker weaving factory, he did not indulge in money and bravely pursued his dreams.
Putin began his political career in 1978 while Navalny was still a child. But he was not discouraged by this, on the contrary, he studied hard to prepare himself for future struggles.
In 1998, Navalny graduated with honors from the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia with a degree in law. At the same time, Putin has begun his political career in key positions in the Russian Security Service. Although the paths of the two have crossed, it will take time for their fates to intertwine.
In 1997, Navalny founded a barber company, but soon realized that he was more interested in politics. He resolutely decided to close the company, joined the Democratic Party "Yabolu", and began his political career. At the same time, Putin was chosen as Yeltsin's **man and became Navalny's main rival.
However, Navalny is not one to give up easily. Despite his failures, he continued to learn and improve, became a lawyer, and continued to fight for what he believed in.
On August 19, 2020, a cup of tea changed his fate. Despite facing prison time, he remained steadfast in his beliefs. On January 17, 2021, he bravely returned to his homeland, but suffered the fate of **.
In 2022, he was sentenced to nine years in prison, and in 2023 he was sentenced to 19 years in prison on suspicion of extremism. On February 16, 2024, he passed away due to illness, causing global shock and attention.
Navalny's life was full of ups and downs and challenges, but he always maintained his persistent pursuit of freedom and justice. His passing is not only deeply regrettable, but also full of thoughts about the future of the world. How should we hold on to our faith in the face of adversity and challenges? This is a question worth pondering.
