Jailed Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny has died, Russian media report, citing the prison service.

Some sources suggest he was taking a walk and suddenly fell to the ground. Very mysterious. Guess they ran out of windows.

    Navalny is a literal racist and far right nationalist. Even western mainstream media was forced to admit this.

    In 2021, a BBC article reported even Amnesty International was forced to strip Navalny’s “prisoner of conscience” status for the violence and hate he unremorsefully promoted https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56181084

    That same month, US government-funded Radio Free Europe likewise was forced to concede Navalny’s extremist background https://www.rferl.org/a/navalny-failure-to-renounce-nationalist-past-support/31122014.html

    The fact that people like you champion him as some OpPosItiOn to a DicTatoRshiP, shows just how utterly morally bankrupt you lot are.

      “Forced to admit”? That means they reported on him, accurately, the way free media does. I don’t know what’s worse, how thick the Putin propaganda is here, or how little effort is behind it.

        The fact that a bunch of mouth breathers in this thread are defending a literal fascist shows that western propaganda works as intended.

          Good point, except that nobody is defending him at all, so dumb point.
