Zitate und Sprüche von Alexei Nawalny

Forgive me if this sounds pompous, but it's better to die standing up than live on your knees.

Certain people have wanted to put me behind bars for a long time now. That's part of my work. If I were afraid, I couldn't do what I do.

In Russia an authoritarian leader is running the country. You can't fight Putin with elections because he controls them. That's why demonstrations are the most effective approach. Unfortunately Russia has sunk to this primitive level.

Stupidity is not a crime.

I'm on the very blackest part of the black list.

I really hate the people in power. I hate them with every fiber of my being. That is what drives me in almost everything I do.

When men are arrested without any legal basis and for political reasons, it's merely a routine, everyday occurrence in Russia, and hardly anyone has any sympathy.

People hate politicians. And I can understand why.

I cannot, do not want and will not remain silent watching how pseudo-historical nonsense about the events of 100 years ago has become an excuse for Russians to kill Ukrainians, and for Ukrainians to kill Russians while defending themselves. It's the third decade of the 21st century, and we are watching news about people burning down in tanks and bombed houses. We are watching real threats to start a nuclear war on our TVs.

The western Countries lie recklessly, like Goebbels: the more incredible the lie, the faster they will believe in it.

I find it necessary to support the proposal of the Defence Ministry on partial mobilisation in the Russian Federation to defend our Motherland, and to ensure the safety of our people.

The special military operation is being conducted strictly in accordance to the plan and schedule. All objectives that were set are being resolved successfully.

The purpose of this operation is to demilitarise and denazify Ukraine.

No matter who tries to stand in our way or all the more so create threats for our country and our people, they must know that Russia will respond immediately.

I made a decision to carry out a special military operation.

We're ready to show Ukraine what real de-communisation means for it.

Modern Ukraine was wholly and fully created by Russia. Namely Bolshevik, Communist Russia.

I'm under the impression that the United States aren't actually concerned with Ukraine's safety, but with stopping Russia's progression.

Russia does not want other political groupings present near their homeland. That's not a hard thing to understand.

I look forward to establishing a constructive dialogue with you and working together on topical issues on the bilateral and international agenda.

If Putin goes ahead with his plan for a change of regime in Kyiv, then democracies around the world must now start thinking about a change of regime in Moscow.

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear

Every country has its own mafia. In Russia, the mafia has its own country.

I want to say thank you to each of you because we are together. And when we feel the reliable support of those standing beside us, Russia becomes one big family.

Disappearances are bread-and-butter to journalists.

Who's the more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him?

Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up.

Mr. President, Ukraine did not "start" this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.

It's been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your president. I love the job - but I love my country more.
