"Unlike my father, Putin is a coward!"
The daughter of Alexei Navalny Daria spoke at the TED conference
Daria Navalny - the daughter of the Russian politician Alexei Navalny, sentenced to 19 years in prison, spoke at the TED conference on October 11. The video of her performance called “My Father's Lessons Alexei Navalny” appeared in Yetube TED on October 13. The next day, the Navalny team published a record with subtitles in Russian.
In her speech, Daria Navalny recalled that on October 15 it would be a thousandth day, which her father will spend in prison. She told how she remained with her younger brother when her father was poisoned by a “novice”, and her mother, Julia Navalny, went to Omsk. According to Daria Navalny, she regrets that she did not stay with her family when the politician underwent rehabilitation in Germany. Navalny also recalled how, in childhood, together with her father she ran away from the FSB agents in the Moscow metro.
My father is an incredibly brave and selfless person. And I can only dream of once becoming the same as him. He does not run away and does not hide. And unlike my father, Putin is a coward! A coward that can no longer hide from the consequences of what they and their friends did with my country and democracy in the world. And all of you who are sitting in this room or watching a video online - you can help. Now. Unlike millions of people in Russia who were intimidated, killed or forced to shut up, you have a voice. Please do not treat your freedom as a given. Russia is my house where I was born, grew up and became the one who I am now. And I promise you that I will continue to tell the truth and fight until Russia becomes a free democratic country. Thanks a lot. Freedom to Alexei Navalny!
