Alexey Navalny was a fearless champion of freedom, peace, and human rights. After his severe poisoning by Russian security services in 2020, German doctors played an important role in saving his life. Germany offered him and his family asylum and protection. However, true to his principles and convictions and despite the threats he was facing, Navalny decided to return to Russia, in whose democratic future he passionately believed.
Having been imprisoned on politically motivated charges and subjected to torture, Alexey Navalny continued to stand up for the universal values, which also laid the foundations of modern Germany.
For millions of people in Russia and around the world, his name has become the symbol of hope and the triumph of the human spirit over the machine of violence. His murder in detention on February 16, 2024, has not changed it.
We think that the name of Alexey Navalny should be immortalized on the streets of Wiesbaden, a city with deep historical bonds with Russia. This will be a clear statement of solidarity between the city residents and everyone who opposes dictatorship and oppression in Russia and worldwide today.
