Vladimir Kara-Murza, a prominent Russian human rights advocate and Kremlin critic, said he reacted with despair to the death of Alexey Navalny but would not give up the fight to make Russia a free, democratic country.
“I have had lots of thoughts over the recent days. There is a lot of despondency, a lot of despair,” Kara-Murza said in response to the death Friday of the Russian opposition figure in a Siberian prison.
“But if we give in to despondency and despair, that’s exactly what they want. We have no right to do that.”

In April 2023, Kara-Murza was after publicly condemning Moscow’s war in Ukraine – a decision that was condemned as politically motivated and draconian by the international community.In a video released Thursday, in which he was speaking from prison in Omsk, Russia, he said dissenters owe it “to our fallen comrades to continue working with even greater vigor to achieve what they lived and died for — to make Russia a normal, free, European, democratic country. I have absolutely no doubt that it will happen.”
“No one can stop the future, no matter how much they want to. Therefore, friends, we cannot afford any despair, any despondency,” Kara-Murza added. “Navalny himself said: ‘Don’t give up’. We can’t give up.”
