Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s willingness to stay in Germany and face Nazi oppression has anchored me when I have faced lesser challenges.

I told myself, if Bonhoeffer could face Hitler, imprisonment, and death, I can face x.

When Navalny returned to Russia, I thought, Bonhoeffer.

I am in mourning. I am angry and deeply grieved. For myself, for my family, for his family, for Russia, and for the world—when men like Navalny are murdered, we all lose light.

Is there anyone now brave enough to replace him?
