Ukrainian intelligence chief was doing a press conference and was asked what killed Navalny.
His response:
“Sorry to disappoint but as far as we know it was really natural causes.”
He can say whatever he wants. Navalny was specifically moved to that distant colony so they could have kill him without much fuss. He is not the only one in that colony but the only one who has died.
He was in a penal colony. Places not known for adequate food, medical care, or reasonable work protections.
No one is saying that someone shot him in the head. He died “naturally” because the body cannot sustain in that environment indefinitely. And who put him there, and why?
As long as people are out in the wild trying to give cover to regressive fascists, we’ll never see the end of this shit.
It doesn’t matter in the first place. If your political opponent dies in jail, it’s a bad look, and Putin’s have a habit of doing it all the time. And that’s if they don’t fall out a window first! Please don’t act like there’s some question what’s going on. You know Putin ran the KGB right? Probably some cold war spy experience, I don’t recall… The man killed his way to the top and then killed his way back down just to keep the tree looking nice. As murdering dictators go he really is a great model.
He didn’t, he wasn’t any kind of a boss from what I read. We have your imagination altering things quite a lot right here.

By the way, this is not a known joke in Russia. There are also no bears roaming Moscow streets.
Real political opponents have mostly been shunned by state-controlled media to the degree most people considered them madmen or potential terrorists, and then with time passing some died, some grew out of relevance.
A few have been killed, yes, in a very short period of time during the second Chechen war. Starovoitova, Politkovskaya. EDIT: And with no irony if only they hadn’t, Russia would be completely different.
Then people of worse kind (like Nemtsov or Sobchak etc, who themselves participated in creating the system of government Putin uses) claimed that they are the opposition now, that didn’t quite work out, but interesting that even such a completely fake “elite” can evolve. I’m not sure if Nemtsov’s murder was even connected to politics TBF.
And then people like Navalny (initially doing some kind of nationalist activism, against immigration, street crime and corruption) suddenly became the opposition and themselves changed with time. It’s fascinating how a society evolves.
This maybe doesn’t belong here, point is there hasn’t been many defenestrations involved.

He was moved so far away for security reasons. Just today the terrorists from Russian liberation army said they were planning to get him out.
“Sorry to disappoint but as far as we know it was a meteorite strike.”

He looked too alive and healthy for someone who would “naturally” die the next day. Obviously he was killed.

That’s not an argument, heart attacks, aneurysms happen. Of course prison environment, bad sleep, bad food, cold etc affected this.

Tis a silly discussion.

Obviously there’s no bears in the streets. They’d be in the alleys, duh. ;)
I defer to your superior expertise on all points, and apologize for getting uppity! The man’s legend is simply legendary, that’s all.
His companies were classified as a foreign agent. Guy was a CIA tool, not trying to help anyone
Quite ironic you calling someone a tool
i heard the ree of a buzzsaw starting up when I clicked his profile…
And sure enough, there it was.
Something something projection
Begone, troll
Everyone who publicly speaks against Putin is a foreign agent in Russia. You’re spreading Putin’s propaganda.
Even if that’s true, it is not a reason to work someone to death.
