Thank you to everyone who came out this rainy morning to run or walk in support of Russian political prisoners — you're all amazing!

We did this to shine a light once again on the lack of freedom in Russia and the brave people locked up for speaking the truth.

The organiser of the June 4 Massacre Candlelight Vigil in Adelaide, 許智峯 Ted Hui Chi Fung invited a member of our group, Anatoliy Dubinin, to speak at the event. Here is his full speech:
___________________________

Thank you, Ted, for your invitation. It's an honour to be here tonight.

Let's go back in time for a minute, to the late 1980s. The wind of change was blowing in many socialist countries around the world. Many Soviet republics, still parts of the Soviet Union, were holding protests for freedom and independence from tyranny: Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Kazakhstan, and the Caucasian republics. The Berlin Wall was about to fall. The Soviet Empire was counting its final days. Many Eastern European countries were waking up from the dictatorship of the Soviet Union.

China was no exception. But socialism showed its true bloody colour. The massacre became one of the deadliest protests in history, where peaceful demonstrators demanded justice and freedom. Their sacrifice became part of the global human heritage, showing all of us today how dangerous and evil people with uncontrolled state power can be.

In Australia, we have ANZAC Day to commemorate the fallen soldiers who fought for this country. So, equally, the 4th of June is the day to commemorate those who were killed fighting for freedom and democracy, regardless of their origin and nationality, whose sacrifice is no less important than that of the fallen soldiers. The human striving for freedom is universal. It doesn't matter that Tiananmen Square is in Beijing, not Canberra. It is our common pain, our common wound as humanity. And we must remember.

Let me take this opportunity to say a few words about Alexei . He was a Russian opposition leader, poisoned in a Russian jail 2.5 years ago. Today is his birthday; he would have turned 50 years old. Thank you, Alexei, for being a hero of our time.

Democracy is as strong as the people who are ready to fight and die for it. We must be grateful for their sacrifice. We must learn from their example.

Lest we forget.

Alexei would have turned 50 today.

His team at the Anti-Corruption Foundation has launched The Alexei Navalny Archive — the most comprehensive collection of his work, featuring videos, photos, social media posts, investigations, interviews, and more.

The link is in the first comment. If you’re still wondering who Alexei Navalny was, it’s definitely worth checking out.

Happy Birthday, Alexei.

You’re forever in our hearts.

The striving for Freedom has no nationality.

We are proud to be invited again to a candlelight vigil in commemoration of the heroes of the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989 in Beijing, and to support the current Hong Kong political prisoners.

Please join the Chinese community in this event for Freedom and Democracy.

The English text is below.

Сегодня исполняется два года со дня убийства Алексея Навального в колонии на Крайнем Севере. Теперь есть официальное подтверждение, что это было именно убийство.

Два дня назад на полях Мюнхенской конференции по безопасности министерства иностранных дел пяти европейских стран — Великобритании, Франции, Германии, Швеции и Нидерландов — выступили с совместным заявлением. Согласно результатам независимых лабораторных анализов биоматериалов Навального (образцы вывезла семья после смерти), в них обнаружен эпибатидин — крайне токсичный нейротоксин, который извлекают из кожи южноамериканской (эквадорской) древесной лягушки-древолаза. Эпибатидин вызывает паралич, остановку дыхания и смерть за минуты.

Такие лягушки не водятся в России на Крайнем Севере. Очевидно, что за этим убийством стоят генералы ФСБ и лично Путин.

Многие говорят, что Алексей совершил ошибку, вернувшись в Россию в январе 2021 года после восстановления в Германии, следующего за первым отравлением в августе 2020 года.

Такая критика не учитывает характер Навального и его ценности. Попробуйте посмотреть на события января 2021 года его глазами. Для Алексея борьба против путинизма была главной работой, победа была целью и смыслом его жизни. Наиболее эффективно такая борьба может вестись только на территории России.

Представьте себе солдата, идущего в атаку на поле боя для защиты родины. Кто-нибудь скажет, что он "совершил ошибку", если его убьют? Нет. Но таким солдатом и был Алексей, он не видел для себя иного пути, кроме как идти в атаку на путинский режим. Таков уровень настоящих героев.

Да, нам тяжело без него, потому что мы лишились лидера. В любой борьбе всегда удобней и безопасней идти за кем-то. Что ж, пришло время для новых героев.

Ожидал ли он, что его арестуют прямо в аэропорту? Да, и готовился к этому, хотя такой сценарий и не был основным (об этом #Навальный пишет в своей книге). Рассчитывал ли выйти на свободу? Да, надеялся на общественное и международное давление, как это сработало в 2013 году после приговора по делу Кировлеса (но за 8 лет режим превратился в полностью людоедский). В марте 2022, получив новый срок (9 лет), Алексей мужественно принял свою участь, понимая, что из зоны он ужe не выйдет, и при повышении рисков для режима его просто отравят (об этом он тоже говорит в книге).

17 февраля 2021 года в Инстаграме Навального был опубликован поистине пророческий пост, слова из которого были позаимствованы для песни группы Элизиум "Привет, это Навальный!" (поищите, очень классная песня). Там Навальный, сравнивая свое тюремное заключение с космическим путешествием со свойственным ему остроумием, пишет такие строки:

"... в этот момент я понимаю, что я в космическом путешествии, летящий к прекрасному новому миру. Mог ли я, фанат книг и фильмов о космосе, отказаться от такого полета, пусть даже он продлится три года?"

Его "полет" продлился ровно три года, навеки оставив след в нашей памяти и наших сердцах.

Спасибо за все вдохновение, герой! Мы помним тебя, Алексей.
_________________________________

Today marks two years since the murder of Alexei in a penal colony in Russia's Far North. Now there is official confirmation that it was indeed a murder.

Two days ago, on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, the foreign ministries of five European countries – the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands – issued a joint statement. According to the results of independent laboratory analyses of Navalny's biomaterials (samples were taken out of Russia by his family after his death), epibatidine was found in them – an extremely toxic neurotoxin extracted from the skin of the South American (Ecuadorian) poison dart frog. Epibatidine causes paralysis, respiratory arrest, and death within minutes.

Such frogs are not found in Russia in the Far North. This murder was ordered by FSB generals and personally by Putin.

Many say that Alexei made a mistake by returning to Russia in January 2021 after recovering in Germany, following the first poisoning in August 2020.

Such criticism fails to take into account Navalny's character and his values. Try to look at the events of January 2021 through his eyes. For Alexei, the fight against Putinism was his full-time job; victory was the goal and meaning of his life. Such a struggle can be most effectively waged only on the territory of Russia.

Imagine a soldier charging into an attack on the battlefield to defend his homeland. Would anyone say he "made a mistake" if he got killed? No. But that is exactly what kind of soldier Alexei was – he saw no other path for himself except to attack the Putin regime. That is the level of true heroes.

Yes, it is hard for us without him, because we have lost a leader. In any struggle, it is always more convenient and safer to follow someone. Well, the time has come for new heroes.

Did he expect to be arrested right at the airport? Yes, and he was preparing for it, although that scenario was not the main one (Navalny writes about this in his book). Did he count on being released? Yes, he hoped for public and international pressure, as it worked in 2013 after the Kirovles case sentence (but over 8 years, the regime had turned fully cannibalistic). In March 2022, after receiving a new sentence (9 years), Alexei courageously accepted his fate, understanding that he would not leave the prison alive, and that if the risks to the regime increased, he would simply be poisoned (he talks about this in the book as well).

On 17 February 2021, a truly prophetic post was published on Navalny's Instagram, lines from which were borrowed for the song by the band Elysium, "Hi, this is Navalny!" (look it up, it's a really great song). There, comparing his imprisonment to a space journey with his characteristic wit, Navalny wrote these lines:

"... At that moment, I realise that I am on a space journey, flying toward a beautiful new world. Could I, a fan of books and films about space, refuse such a flight, even if it lasts three years?"

His "flight" lasted exactly three years, forever leaving a mark in our memory and our hearts.

Thank you for all the inspiration, hero! We remember you, Alexei.
