You got one person here who is not well educated talking nonsense. He talks in generalities which means he really has nothing to say. He just supports opposition, whatever that means. He never defines what the "opposition" is against. Says he'd discuss hot issues? What issues? He mentions no at all issues. Not one. Navalny was not a CIA asset. Don't you know this Danill? Putin has an 80% approval rating by western polling. Someone with an 80% approval rating does not need to put his political opponents in prison or kill them, nor kill journalists, nor anyone else. The main stream media always call him a dictator. How is someone with an 80% approval rating a dictator. The Democrats think Biden can win with less than a 40% approval rating. So where are the elections not adding up? Not Russia. The west made Navalny out to be some kind of real opposition. He was not. If Navalny was given Novichok he would have been dead. He went back to Russia when he didn't have to knowing he would be arrested and tried, after he was given a suspended sentence for fraud charges. They wanted him in jail so bad they gave him a suspended sentence. He wanted to be a martyr instead of taking care of his wife and children. And he had close to zero percent support of the Russian people. Navalny continued his opposition in prison. What do you think happens in US prison when you simply don't serve your time? He brought his death on himself for no reason. The man had psychological problems. And people with these kinds of psychological problems are who you go out and find.

In the heart of Russia, bold and true, Stood an uncle with courage anew. Unafraid to speak against the tide, With fervor in his soul, he defied. In whispers and murmurs, he dared to proclaim, Against oppression, he lit the flame. With every word, a call to the free, A beacon of hope for what could be. But in the shadows, danger lurked, As the Kremlin's power hungrily worked. They silenced dissent with ruthless might, Crushing voices in the dead of night. Yet still, the uncle's spirit soared, His words like thunder, truth ignored. For even in silence, his message rang clear, A rallying cry for all to hear. Then came the day when silence fell, The uncle's voice, a tolling bell. His bravery cost him dearly, alas, As tyranny struck with a fatal gas. But from the ashes of his demise, A fire ignited, reaching the skies. His sacrifice, a spark of revolution's birth, Fueling the flames of freedom on Earth. In streets and squares, the people rose, With courage like the uncle's, they chose. To stand against oppression's might, And reclaim their voices in the fight. For in the legacy of the uncle's name, Lies the power to break oppression's chain. Though his voice may be silenced, his spirit lives on, In the hearts of the brave, the battle won.

It’s only very young, the idea that an opposition is important. Look, many still can’t see that a democracy must have freedom of opinion and speech. Russia has never had either. So now, opinion is building. But it is so very young. It will most likely not be in the next 30 years that we see a viable political freedom in Russia. Why? The opinion there’s a need for it is new born. It takes time to grow. Even those on the other side of the world still hold positions of defending Putin. Ev3n though they left. They still support him. The opinion is so young, that it’s hard to say if it will even live. Fuck Putin. May he burn in hell. When you hear Russians say this, you will know there is still 20 years to go.

In principle this guy has got it correct. Every form of government needs to have a realistic and honest 'opposition' party(s) to 24/7 hold the ruling regime to account. Hold the ruling political regime accountable for their actions, point out their bad decisions and to represent people that happen to disagree and hold a different political opinion. People must have the power to freely express themselves without feeling they're going to be jailed for doing so.

Brave guy.

[@witchamacallit]

This is no ordinary Russian uncle he is a very perceptive individual.

[@alexleibovici4834]

Yes, an exception, unfortunately...

[@josephgonzalez_]

I believe there are very many Russians just like this man. But they are not organised, too afraid and have been denied the platform to speak. I hope the day comes soon when they have all had enough and take the decision to make the change.

If only the many shared the courage of the few

[@marktuyet]

Great old guy probably around my age with a mind of his own and not afraid. Much respect to you brother.

[@paulmcgorian5712]

Very balanced view .

[@mannypacquiao7]

Wow! This guy has shown that there are decent people in Russia who can think for themselves and are not totally brainwashed by state propaganda.

[@TheOddOne2]

This the kind of people I enjoy working and build new stuff with, cooperation is the best, even if you disagree.

[@delpinsky]

People like this guy, or the woman I've seen a month ago, or other people speaking their heart and their mind freely, thinking critically, these people should raise their voice in the next Russia, a free Russia. These people care, they do not hate. These people are not violent, they are compassionate and full of desire to stay in the world as friends, not as enemy. Applause! 👏🏻🌹

When you have to ask permission to protest, the you know you are not free.

[@Audited_Forex]

Protesting has the opposite effect. This prevents social decay as we are seeing in America now.

[@anastasiaserwaczek204]

@robert_halterman So what then is thr cause of US decay, in your opinion?

[@Audited_Forex]

@@anastasiaserwaczek204 high homelessness, high crime, drug addicts, highest incarceration in the world, trans people, gun violence, racism, high suicide rates…

[@chuckkottke]

A rare gem, a very intelligent and outspoken man in Russia! Kudos for presenting his speech to us. 🕊️

[@josefschiltz2192]

A clever man.

[@user-fz7zt6cw6f]

So people are becoming more willing to be politically aware 😊

[@K1ddkanuck]

I really hope he doesn't end up in a concrete building above the arctic circle because of this video. He's clearly a good man.

[@sarahhubner7591]

Nice to hear that there is someone who tell his opinion about what happened to Navalny and about Putins dictatorship,because many are scared. ❤

[@hardyakka6200]

That was a thoughtful and inteligent man. Putin would detest him.

[@aidanross9489]

Love this uncle. Smart. Cogent. Coherent. The best of life, uncle! ❤

[@earlthepearl3922]

The wisdom that comes with age and the ability to think critically.

[@Paul-wo3qh]

Much respect.
