The attitude of Mr. Navalny and his colleagues is fearless, in a country governed by fear. Thrillers are rarely so inspiring.

Navalny is so taut and suspenseful you’d think John le Carré had left behind a secret manuscript that’s only just coming to light now.

This extremely exciting documentary shows in a shocking and captivating way the poison attack and attempted murder of Alexey Navalny with some WTF moments. RIP.

After watching this documentary, you realise how brave and self-confident Nawalny is, because not everyone can fight against the regime in Russia. Only after watching this documentary can you realise how dangerous Putin really is and what he will do to stay in power. I don't know how Navalny goes on and on. After all the challenges, he keeps going and tries to fight against the regime. At the end it is sad to see how the wife of Nawalny reacts to everything, how people support Nawalny so that finally there is democracy again in Russia. I now have a great respect for Nawalny and his actions. I wish that he achieves his goal. In my opinion, everyone should watch this documentary.

The geopolitical stakes are immense and Navalny is essential viewing, especially for any Western audience that may have not been following this story so closely.

It’s a genuinely exciting piece of storytelling, a propulsive real-life quest for truth driven by ingenious tech-geeks and the disarming force of Navalny’s personality.

The film flashes back to the poisoning, and it could be the most sickening and calamitous suspense-thriller episode you ever saw.

Navalny is a barely believable brew of activism, resistance, poisonings, death squads, exiles and homecomings. Most of all, it’s a story of courage in the face of ruthless repression and one of those all-too-rare geopolitical stories where the bad guys actually get some comeuppance.

This is an incredibly charismatic man with a finely honed sense of his public image, but Roher is also able to capture how prickly he is.

Алексей, раскрыл для всего мира, то что скрыто от мирового сообщества! Преступная власть бандитов и убийц! Алексей, молодец! Россия будет свободной!

I admire Alexei Navalny's resistance and struggle, but in filmic and thematic terms the documentary is nothing special because all the information comes from him.
Nothing gets through the wall of Putin and his dictatorship. And it's not that I question what has happened to him, far from it, but there is more material missing than what he exposes, especially if it is to show the world what a corrupt monster he says Russia is.

Another fascist who told half of his life before prison about the need to capture all neighboring countries for his "great country".
Another madman who "fought" not for the democracy of people or the country, but for the Throne, for the opportunity to rule all these people who don't care who you are. They will love any king.
Another stupid propaganda

Propaganda. This guy was corrupt as sin, a liar, wanted to get rid of "foreigners" from Russia and was a tool in regime change operations constructed by US & UK. The two individuals that poisoned him are the following: Maria Pevchikh (Russian opposition, MI6), Katerina Tereshkina (Russian opposition, MI6) [as seen in Nation News CCTV footage of the three]
