1/9 A passport with the surname “Navalny” lies next to the dead body on the ground. This is one of the people killed in the Ukrainian village of Bucha. Ilya Ivanovich Navalny. https://t.co/vxfdkrTmLv

2/9 Everything indicates that they killed him because of his last name. That's why his passport was defiantly thrown nearby.

3/9 A completely innocent person was killed by Putin's executioners (what else can I call them? definitely not “Russian soldiers”) because he is my namesake. Apparently, they hoped he was a relative of mine.

4/9 I don't know if he is related to me. He is from the same village as my father. So, maybe he is my relative, but there are generally lots of Navalnys in that village.

5/9 I remember that, as a child, I was amazed when I looked at the monument to those who died in the Great Patriotic War. I'm used to the fact that my last name is rare, but there were several Navalnys in a row there.

6/9 Well, now there will be another monument in Ukraine to those who died in the war, and the name of Ilya Ivanovich Navalny, born in 1961, will be there among others.

7/9 And this war was also unleashed by a raving maniac obsessed with some nonsense about geopolitics, history and the structure of the world.
This maniac will not stop himself. He, like a drug addict, got hooked on death, war and lies - he needs them to maintain his power.

8/9 It is now everyone's duty to make at least some, even the smallest contribution to stop this war and remove Putin from power.

9/9 Protest wherever and however you can. Agitate however you can and whomever you can. Inaction is the worst possible thing. And now its consequence is death.
