  • Hello and welcome to the Intelligence from the Economist.

  • I'm your host, Jason Palmer.

  • Most weekdays we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping your world.

  • Today, though, we'll be looking back at some notable lives the inspired and inspiring figures who died this year.

  • One day before his death, Alexei Navalny appeared in a court hearing by video link from prison.

  • He joked that authorities should put some more money in his account because he was running low.

  • In the end, there was only one way for Russia's President Vladimir Putin to wipe that smile off Mr.

  • Navalny's face.

  • Our Russia editor, Arkady Ostrovsky, was a personal friend of Mr.

  • Navalny's.

  • He reflected on what the assassination means for the future of Russia.

  • He did not see himself as a martyr.

  • He was perfectly aware of the risks.

  • He knew this was a possibility of both great likelihood of imprisonment and some quite strong chance of never walking out of that prison.

  • And he had a very, very strong sense of wanting to live and wanting to win.
