I think a common assumption is that his family was threatened by the Kremlin and his only option was to return to prevent harm to them.

- tartoran 6y agoYes but but I guess he is worth more to his family alive than dead. That likelihood is pretty high, either in a Russian jail or poisoned again with a nerve agent. I don't think he'll be lucky to survive another attempt like that. He is really courageous but am still not convinced his decision to return was a sound one. Putin ordered the killing of many opponents and the Russian people as a whole don't show any sign that they care.

- tartoran 6y agoThat makes some sense however, when he got back on his feet from poisoning, he published the Black Sea Palace Documentary, a risky move. I guess that would put his family in great danger as well. Now, after returning to Russia he's been silenced and doubt his family is not any safer. I still admire this guy for his courage to confront Putin, I would be scared for my life. It is sad that the Russian people don't seem to care. The demonstrations that took place should have been much bigger.
- atat7024 6y agoMaybe they care for THEIR families. Think it through before you condemn others. The people that have killed themselves in front of the White House probably think the rest of the USA is asleep at the wheel, too, as a citizenry.
- tartoran 6y agoNot consemning Navalni, I have enormous respect for his courage. I just think they’re gonna kill him this time and he basically knew what was awaiting him back home.
