I don't think dumb is the word to describe this. He's a preppy rich elite that wouldn't even know the name of the servant who buys the groceries for his house or carries luggage, let alone get them himself.

you write fan fiction about how the girl who sells you overpriced coffee actually likes you and wants to date you.

It's an incentive for the shoppers to return the cart to the cart parking instead of leaving it rolling around

This is the least surprising outcome, he should have never went back to Russia after getting poisoned. I can't imagine how absolutely hellish these last few years must have been for him.

Navalny was one of the other brands of "Russia should be allowed to draw its own borders"-buffoons, so not exactly a huge loss from the viewpoint of countries bordering Russia.

But more interesting questions is 'why now?'; The guy was already a write-off, spending rest of his life in jail unless Putin's regime topples, so why poison the guy now instead of using him as a living reminder for the people with similar ideas. Now there is a chance that he becomes a martyr to factions opposing Putin, and that surely cannot be what the ol' shitpants wants.

Putin is kinda the mad king now, he doesn’t give a poo poo because he is surrounded by lickspittles and yes men and he probably doesn’t have a real view of a situation. He is dictator Willy Loman making up fantasy about boomer alt history while making his country a pariah state. The funny thing is I think this might free the log jam in Congress.

Poots could've stripped naked, hauled Navalny out on a live television broadcast, pulled the trigger himself and proceeded to rub himself in the blood while singing nursery rhymes... and the most you'd got out of the populace would have been a resigned shrug.

It's a blackpilled country after all.

Sadly, the opposition against despots selects for people most resistant to being poisoned, beaten and imprisoned rather than always having the best views and opinions

He thinks he no longer has to keep up appearances. Nadezhdin is a much more pliant "opposition figure" that can be dangled in front of the West. And at the same time, the opposition gets reminded of what happens when they become too oppositional and/or don't keep their mouths shut in prison.

the conditions might of been so bad he might of just died without them directly poisoning him again. it's still murder but the timing might not have any significance.

Have you any idea how hard it is to push someone out of a window to their death when theres like 5ft of snow on the ground most of the year? There's probably 20 snow angels around where he died of marking all the previous attempts.

But seriously, why kill a known anti-corruption and election fraud person ahead of an election?

Navalny's health was already in shambles since his poisoning. Having compromised health while in a penal colony would kill just about anyone.
