Dear Ambassador McFaul,

Thank you for your moving tribute to Mr. Navalny. He is missed.

Congressional leaders would do well to reflect deeply on Navalny’s witness, speaking out against corruption. The current administration is probably the most corrupt administration in US history. Anne Applebaum compiles a regular “kleptocracy tracker” on her Substack. The Trump corruption is absolutely astounding! I wonder what Navalny would say about Putin having a puppet in the White House? A puppet who has abandoned Ukraine. That fact alone should have him thrown out of office.

A lovely tribute to a good friend.

Thank you for the reminder that a hero lived in our time. I recommend the 2022 documentary film "Navalny" if you want to see him as he was: fearless, funny, and full of life.

I also recommend his book "Patriot". His resilience, humor, and yes, patriotism shine though.

Navalny seamed like a wonderful person with a great personality. So much going on in the world today.
