Whatever you might think of Navalny, the man Putin doesn't even dare name, the events in this documentary are quite shocking. What comes through is the constant intimidation and harassment of Navalny, his family and his supporters. The depiction of the poisoning of Navalny and his recovery then his incredibly brave or reckless decision to return to Russia are difficult to take in. It feels like a depiction of events from the 1930s not the 2020s. I am sure one day the truth will come out but as with many events in Russia there is always the ability to believe two realities at the same time. With the death of Navalny this week I hope other people watch this and understand his struggle and the true nature of a regime that only history will judge.
