Not until reading Gaya Gupta ’s story The New York Times, this morning, did I know that Aleksei Navalny’s life as an activist began as a blogger. Born on June 4, 1976, to parents who challenged Soviet rule, Navalny grew up to become a beacon of activism against corruption. His journey began with a simple yet powerful tool: a blog. Through his blog, Navalny not only shared insights but also mobilized a generation, challenging Russia’s elite with his investigative prowess.
