The in memoriam segment at the Academy Awards opened not with a Hollywood star, but with a clip of Aleksei A. Navalny from “Navalny,” the Oscar-winning 2022 documentary about the Russian opposition leader who died last month in a Russian prison.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing,” read a quote of Navalny’s on the screen.
