Frank Sinatra’s ‘My Way’ at Navalny’s funeral
Today Navalny was buried to Frank Sinatra’s My Way from the final moments of Terminator 2.
The comments section to the song on YouTube is becoming a digital mural where many Russians are expressing their remembrance of Navalny.
This version too:
The word ‘sad’ doesn’t describe the sense of sorrow that the image of Navalny’s dead body evokes. Bigger than life. Then Death shrinks it all — the largeness of life, life, and body. Or does it? There is history in this image. It’s for the ages. Or maybe not. Maybe it’s just a fleeting moment that reminds of how everything ends.
