People who say that he was killed by Putin are conspiracy theorists and this really ought to evolve into a wider discussion about mental health

favorite navalny stories:
back when he was an unknown (though he's not really an 'outsider' as usually portrayed. he wifes family helped write the current russian constitution) Navalny attended some sort of political gala at Gogol (a 'dive bar' largely inhabited by russian nepobabies) and was openly trying to gently caress Masha Gaidar, the daughter of the man who implemented Yeltsin's financial reforms. He got lightly heckled by some Chechnyans, and got macho and racist about it. Eventually the chechnyan challenges him to a fistfight if he has a problem with them being there, and he agrees. When they go outside Navalny pulls out an Osa pistol (a "nonlethal" sort of shotgun that mangles your opponent with birdshot basically) and magdumps the guys face while screaming racial epithets.
This is the incident that really puts him on the radar as a bridge between the neofascist and yabloko-style liberals as pretty much everyone in both those worlds likes this sort of thing.

anyway it's funny he's dead and gonna be canonized as a saint by liberal freaks

Masha Gaidar, the hot elitny daughter of Russia’s first and worst prime minister, Yegor Gaidar (who introduced “shock therapy” back in 1992, wiping out everyone’s savings), announced today that she agreed to take a government post as an advisor to Kirov governor Nikita Belykh. Just recently, Gaidar accused Belykh of “selling his soul to the devil” when he accepted the governorship of the Kirov region. Looks like every liberal soul has a price.

Gaidar has been a regular at the anti-Putin “Other Russia” marches going back a couple of years. Like Gaidar, Belykh is another Russian liberal who used to march against Putin and occasionally get arrested.

Limonov was right about Putin and Russia’s liberals: Putin’s regime is essentially a liberal regime (after all, liberals created the Putin regime); so when they protest, all they’re really protesting is their lack of power in the current structure, not the structure itself.

Let's not forget he's a massive homophobe too, the guy loved dropping the Russian version of the f-slur to describe people he hates

quote:

“I’m the main opposition leader not because I banned everyone else from being one, but because it’s scary to be one.” Navalny grabs an empty chair. “This seat is free, please, take a seat. But it comes with Prigozhin’s pidorasy,” he says, using a homophobic mat insult. He gestures at the troll, who is now eating a souvlaki. “Are you ready to live with them?”

Navalny says he is relieved his daughter began undergraduate studies on a scholarship to Stanford and “won’t be going to university at 18 with these pidorasy following her and filming her”.

Forgot about this dude and just read his wikipedia entry and it's full of stuff like "His views about Russian nationalism have evolved" which I'm guessing really means "narratives from the media that we count as sources evolved to not mention his racism as much"

To be fair, the post-1991/3 Russian Communist Party has always been pretty ramshackle, and there don't really press Putin too much even on non-foreign policy issues. They are also not demanding regime change or "elections at will."

Admittedly, I do think the RKP does have a place in Russian society even if it is to give pensioners and some workers a rallying point and keep some balance in the current idea of Russian civic nationalism. It just isn't going to change much, and neither will the other 2 parties running. I think Just Russia is simply openly endorsing Putin at this point.

Otherwise, Putin's approval is roughly 83-85% and that remainder is pretty eclectic in terms of their beliefs (from Trots to Neo-Nazis to Navalny "liberals to Monarchists etc.)

To a friend, the Russian photographer Evgeny Feldman, Mr. Navalny confided that the electoral agenda of former U.S. President Donald J. Trump looked “really scary.”

Personally I like things that scare fascists.

Mr Trump has finally broken his silence on Navalny's death and it is the most cogent commentary I have seen on the matter.



Back in the day the CIA could make much better use of a fellow like Navalny than a milquetoast martyr.
