Alexei Navalny died in prison

It must be discouraging to see your agents die on you like that…

Out of all the replies in this thread, you chose to paste this nonsense behind the only one not sympathetic with Navalny?

What a disgusting slur!

Navalny was a Russian Nationalist.

Navalny was a Russian Nationalist.

He's using the russian definition. Everyone not with his head firmly planted in putins backside is a western agent, over there.

Not a surprising news, but saddening.

Putin seems to be escalating his crackdown on internal dissent. This implies a commitment to a war of attrition in Ukraine and for as long as it takes.

Putin seems to be escalating his crackdown on internal dissent. This implies a commitment to a war of attrition in Ukraine and for as long as it takes.

And a commitment to himself. He would be pushing oppressive measures on his opponents without the invasion of Ukraine.

I think he sees himself as a saviour of the Russian Empire. He lectured America (via his tv interview with Tucker Carlson) on how Russia had been 'wronged' by the rest of the world for centuries. He regards Russia as encircled by enemies. At least he can control the enemies within.

Putin's Russia.

A bishop who planned a public prayer for the Russian opposition leader Aleksei A. Navalny was detained as he left his house. Two men were arrested for having a photograph of Mr. Navalny in a backpack. Another man who lay flowers at a memorial said he was beaten by police officers for the small act of remembrance.

As thousands of Russians across the country tried to give voice to their grief for Mr. Navalny, who died in a remote Arctic penal colony on Friday, Russian police officers cracked down, temporarily detaining hundreds and placing more than two dozen in jail.

Arrested for Leaving Flowers, Navalny Mourners Fear Worse to Come

At least 366 people were detained over the weekend, leading to concern that the arrests could signal greater government repression ahead of Russia’s elections in March.

Don't have the article right now (was from a local news source), but another case was of a woman who got arrested for holding a board on the street that read "Today Alexei Navalny died."

At an event this week, Carlson was asked why he didn’t challenge Putin on Navalny and the deaths of other Russia opposition figures. He offered a rhetorical shrug: “Leadership requires killing people.”

...and of course the MAGA sphere is now pitching Trump as Navalny. They have no shame.

Right-wing commentator Jack Posobiec echoed this idea, saying that Navalny’s death was “what Biden and the Democrats want for Trump and MAGA.” Former Trump State Department official Mike Benz had a similar suggestion about the former president.

Filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, fresh from having his election-fraud movie again exposed as nonsense, took a similar tack.
“Navalny=Trump,” he wrote. “The plan of the Biden regime and the Democrats is to ensure their leading political opponent dies in prison. There’s no real difference between the two cases.”

Please you Americans calling the kettle black while being pots. I'm sure under a Democrat administration there is absolutely no politically motivated killings before. Clinton, Obama & Biden respects political leaders of opposing ideology and will never order a strike to remove people whom they don't like. Any wonder why the rest of the world sees your different administrations as the flip side of the same coin.

By the way Epstein didn't kill himself. A played out meme but rather suiting for this post. Also Snowden sends his regards.

The widow of Aleksei A. Navalny said on Monday that she would carry on her husband’s work to bring about a democratic and free Russia, presenting herself for the first time as a political force and calling on his followers to rally alongside her.

In a video released on Monday:

“I am going to continue the work of Aleksei Navalny and continue to fight for our country,” Ms. Navalnaya said. “I call on you to stand beside me, to share not only in the grief and endless pain that has enveloped us and won’t let go. I ask you to share my rage — to share my rage, anger and hatred of those who have dared to kill our future.”

Navalny’s Widow Pledges to Carry On Opposition Leader’s Work

The sudden death of Aleksei Navalny left a vacuum in Russia’s opposition. His wife, Yulia Navalnaya, signaled that she would try to fill the void.

American presidents issue orders of "strikes" to take out foreign actors they do not like. Navalny was killed by his own government. These are not equivalent.

Of course he did. His luxury life of no consequences and satiating his sexual desires with teenage girls was very clearly over and it wasn't coming back. Poor facility maintenance and overworked guards don't constitute a conspiracy.

Snowden is actual evidence the US doesn't seek out and kill its own citizens even when they betray the national security and give (and seek) comfort to (from) the enemy. Now if the CIA was *really* tricky, they'd convince the FSB to take out Snowden and try to frame the CIA for it. No tears would be shed.

I really wonder when they'll figure out that you can't protest a dictator out of office. Much less "remembrance" him out of office.

You can provoke a overt and harsh response to trigger a revolt, but yeah, that's about it. Navalny didn't return to Russia because he thought they wouldn't kill him. He knew this would be the likely outcome.

I believe his words regarding the matter when he was jailed were that he knew he would be jailed and his sentence would be life. Either his own, however much he'd have left or the lifetime of the regime.

Bishop Grigorii ( Mikhnov-Vaitenko) who was detained for trying to serve a memorial service for Alexei Navalny is reported to be ok. This is from the blog of Fr Ioann ( Burdin) an opponent of the war on Ukraine. Bishop Grigorii had been hospitalized which seems scary enough in the political climate but seems to be well.


Update from 19.02
O. Grigory:
Friends, thank you so much to everyone who is worried! I am much better, perhaps they will soon let me go to the clinic for further treatment, the direct threat has passed. I feel average... Fortunately, I was in the right place at the right time! If not for this, everything might not have been so great! Thank you for your words of support and prayers

Politically killing others and killing you own yes a great distinction. Totally not taking out opposition. So Putin playing this with his own backyard while US presidents play in other people's backyard.

Your explanation of Epstein's death is as good as the Russian's with Navalny's. Full of circumstances. Very specific circumstances.

Snowden is proof that US administration is full of shadowy hands. He got lucky and publicly visible to the world. Else he would be disappeared with pausible denialbility.

While many world leaders lauded Nalvny's courage, the leader of the US Repubican Party was hawking sneakers and comparing himself to Nalvny.

...and the Republican Speaker of the House sits on his hands while Russia starts to turn the tide in Ukraine.

History is watching.
