  I will say what he is doing has become somewhat overshadowed by the war. While we all knew how Russia treats dissidents, it was still a huge message for him to willingly be arrested and show the world what they're capable of, and very publicly. 
  But now Russia is literally torturing, raping, and murdering women and children. I'm not saying people aren't capable of caring about multiple atrocities at once (what's happening to him and what's happening in Ukraine), but he has gotten considerably less coverage when Russia is displaying to the world everyday how horrible they are. 
  Also if the Russian people do not care that their own brothers and sons and husbands are being killed in the tens of thousands "for the motherland/one man's ego", then they certainly do not care about what is happening to the opposition. 
  I can appreciate the absolute balls and bravery it took to martyr yourself for a freer Russia. But it is unfortunately in vain. The Russian people are not ready for change yet (even more independent polls show a majority still support both Putin and the war), but hopefully this war speeds that process along.
  All that being said, Navalny is not a good leader for Russia either. He's simply better than what they have. But he still won't say that Crimea is Ukrainian and he is also very conservative, so he would be a better Putin. Which is a very, very low bar.
context: They have done this to him before. He isn't so much reporting news as reminding people he is still alive and putting up a fight. God bless him. >
  
  Can't believe he was dumb enough to walk back into jail. >
  
  He had to, do you not understand?  Was Mandela also dumb for not fleeing?
  His life as a martyr for the lives of 10s of millions.
