Oh, they're both hard-right nationalists, but while Putin is more of a "the ~West~ is evil" dictator type, Navalny is a "migrants are bad, they infect us with Islam" kind.
Is it bad that I'd prefer the latter over more election fuckery at this point? :v:

We've just published details of flights and train journeys taken by the FSB team linked to the Navalny poisoning, for people to spot any other trips that might be related to non-Navalny poisoning attempts

There's been a couple of things picked up already

Late posting, but I'm good. Tbh it kinda felt funny when it happened (around 2pm-ish?)?. Nothing is damaged at home luckily.

The nuclear powerplant got closed for a day or so and it should be in good state.

Anyway, hopefully 2021 will have less of this. People have suffered enough :/

Glad you are safe.

I've met two Americans who help construct that power plant. They were very experienced and very proud of the work they did, if that makes you feel any better about the thing. Those two people also had nothing but good things to say about their Croatian colleagues and Croatia in general.

I also met a man who said he designed the front doors of the Zastava Florida. That may, or may not, be true. He did know a lot about the Zastava Florida though.

He's just landing after his plane was redirected from the airport his supporters were waiting at because snow clearing equipment just happened to break down in the runway as they were preparing to land.

I went on a small hike with my parents and dad was following a livestream the whole time. When he boarded the plane, someone asked if he was afraid of being arrested, and he said something like "they can't arrest me, I did nothing wrong everything fabricated" lol.

So I'm not in the least surprised.

There is also a 2.5 hour video available, but I'm not even going to bother. Basically at this point, if Putin wants him properly dead, Navalny can just get stabbed/shot outside his front door.

Oh nice, I missed that, I thought he was pro-Joe since Biden and his team seem to have a lot of ties to Eastern European states and look like they will be much more involved in the region.

I appreciate that Sanders is coming out to support Navalny here after years of reading the prigozhin troll farm agitprop about how "actually, Navalny is a far-right anti-immigrant xenophobe with only 2% support" because of the things he said in 2011. This is like the topic that we had about Belarus too, where the government killed or exiled all the opposition it could, silenced political debate and discussion and the people who are left are either unhinged or have removing the fucker in charge as their only goal. And then you have big brained idiots come in complaining that the weak opposition left support privatisation or aren't promising socialism. If Navalny is imprisoned Khodorkovsky style or 'heart-attacked' for good I predict we get people coming here to post "But who else if not Putin? The leader of the opposition Svetov is a cooky libertarian pedophile"

i, for one, am glad the right wingers are fighting amongs themselves, they should do that more

ideally enough that they forget about killing everyone to the left for a few seconds, but that's probably wishful thinking

Navalny was also due to talk at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe tomorrow about the attempts on his life. Christo Grozev will be there, talking about the Bellingcat investigation, but none of this really means much if there's no more action than stern political statements.

Naw man, that's the point. Murderous regimes have a habit of killing or throwing out people that have support in a wide range of society including leftists until all that is left is fringe radicals that the regime can point to saying "see? The alternative to me is only scary crazies" and then west will shrug and nod

What are you talking about? CPRF is the second largest parliamentary party in Duma, and there is nothing more left than communism, okay?
