To see this awful human being, advocate of racial genocide, celebrated as a hero in Western media is indicative of the bizarre times we're in. I will not partake in this whitewashing.
Alexei Anatolyevich Navalny (Russian: Алексей Анатольевич Навальный, IPA: [ɐlʲɪkˈsʲej ɐnɐˈtolʲjɪvʲɪtɕ nɐˈvalʲnɨj]; 4 June 1976 – 16 February 2024) was a Russian opposition leader, lawyer, anti-corruption activist, and politic...
As someone with no dog in this fight, it's the hypocrisy of the West and its media that irritates me. A few points:
Alexei Navalny, apparently, was not popular in Russia, just like Gorbachev who was indeed despised by an overwhelming majority of Russians and his death barely mourned there. But both men were idolised in the West.
Navalny was not a good guy. Many Russians viewed him as a CIA project intended to weaken and destabilise Russia. There are credible reports and videos online of pre-CIA funding of Navalny in his neofascist iteration spewing vile diatribes against Muslims and non-white Russians such as Chechens, and calling for all people of the Caucuses to be stripped of Russian citizenship. Despicable man.
Almost no coverage of Gonzalo Lira's death in a Ukrainian prison last month by western media. Julian Assange is currently languishing in a British prison and all indications are it may not end well. The hypocrisy of the media with regards to these cases is astounding.
Sadly, it's mostly propaganda now and little journalism left out there. And neither side can claim the moral high ground.
Oh, you got me, you got me. We made similar points so we must be the same person. And in that same vein, our real identity is Aaron Maté because he shares our worldview.
What @McFaul says here is a joke. Navalny was a marginal opposition figure who polled at around 2%. Putin didn't fear him; it served Putin to have him seen in the West as his main opposition.
The Russian gov't meanwhile has just barred anti-war candidate Boris Nadezhdin. A… https://t.co/UmjCbjeJwy
I truly hope that all these posters that are out in force smearing Navalny or trying to argue that "the west" is just as bad are getting paid some good money by the Russian government.
Alexei Navalny may have polled 2% and may have had questionable political views, but he had balls of steel and gave his life for his country and his beliefs. He could have lived a comfortable life in the US with his family, but decided instead to remain in Russia where he knew there was a high chance that he could have been jailed and killed any time. He got poisoned with nerve gas, jailed for 30 years and finally (to no-one surprise) died in custody. I have only respect for him and these smearing attempts are borderline pathetic.

"Questionable political views" is putting it mildly. I commend the Russian people for not buying whatever this genocidal fascist was selling. He was paid handsomely by the CIA to return.

What posters do not understand and what too many U.S. citizens do not understand, the C.I.A. narrative and mainstream media narrative are most always the same narrative for a reason. C.I.A. spend much of their budget shaping public opinion in U.S. and around the world. Somethings look benign when C.I.A. lie. All the lying takes its toll.
Some people take up golf or bird watching when they hit their silver years. You took up trolling. And, I must say, you're so darn good. You have a zero handicap.
