We each have our personal list of heroes. For some, it includes trump.
I have my own list which contains persons generally opposite from trump, putin, bibi, etc.
Alexei Navalny is on my list. I am saddened by his death.
Edit to add: BTW, not one of my heroes is perfect.

After their execution, Vichy propaganda created a poster denouncing the resistance as a foreign conspiracy .

The poem of Aragon and the song by Leo Ferré are very beautiful.

You can set subtitles in English even if here, Ferré is not the singer.

He had a very unpleasant history of right-wing, neofascist populism and serious racism.
