There is an impromptu memorial to Alexei Navalny right across the street from the Russian embassy.
It is good to have somewhere to go to commemorate him. He was very brave and, apparently, had a sense of humor and seemed to truly want nothing more than a better life for average Russians.
It was a bit scary to go and place a flower there. There were guards prowling about. (Mind you, I get quite unnerved by the Marines guarding the U.S. American embassy, too.) There was no interference, though. I was able to leave my flower (a white rose, for those familiar with the student resistance in Nazi Germany) and look at and read what others had written.
It was a bit scary, yes, but also moving, and I’m glad I went.

Thank you for sharing this. We are all shattered by this news, but not surprised. I, too, was always nervous around the Marines at the U.S. Embassy. When we lived in Australia, we lived near the Israeli Embassy, which was also constantly surrounded by scary members of Mossad.
Yes. For some reason, people with guns rarely make me feel safer.
