“On February 16, the walk in the pre-trial detention center was not in the morning, as usual, but in the afternoon. And as soon as my cellmates and I went out, the radio playing there broadcast the news. That same news. About Alexei Navalny. And for another hour I gloomily cut circles around the snow-covered concrete courtyard.
I've never been a fan of his. Whatever, I didn’t count myself among his supporters. And only now I realized what an important symbol Alexey Navalny was for me. How much this man meant to me. As, I'm sure, for many, many people. 
I cannot say with certainty what political views Alexey Navalny shared. And did he share any at all? He has come quite a long way and expressed various ideas along the way. But what I am absolutely sure of is that he loved Russia. And now it is this latter that is most important.
And he was not afraid of anything. And this is precisely what, perhaps, can and should be learned from him.
He was not afraid, and we should not be afraid. And let's not be afraid. After all, this is the only way the beautiful Russia of the future will come.
Yours Vasya N., pre-trial detention center-7, Moscow”
