“I didn’t have to be in this place, I didn’t have to record this video. In my place should have been another person. But this person was killed by Putin.”

        This is not someone to be celebrated. Use his death as an expose on the silencing of dissent in Russia but as nothing more.

        He was a Russian fascist with well documented association with the neo-Nazis in the early 2000s then turned into a pro-Western liberal who opposes Putin.

        Edit: 2011 NY Times profile about Navalny (CW: racism):

        Liberals, meanwhile, have deep reservations about him, because he espouses Russian nationalist views. He has appeared as a speaker alongside neo-Nazis and skinheads, and once starred in a video that compares dark-skinned Caucasus militants to cockroaches. While cockroaches can be killed with a slipper, he says that in the case of humans, “I recommend a pistol.”

        Not to mention he voluntarily went back to Russia after believing they tried to have him killed. I don’t know what he expected

        Also the video of him being racist is still up on his personal YouTube channel to be clear. It is not a position he ever distanced himself from.
