A year ago Alexey Navalny was arrested upon returning to Moscow after spending months abroad recovering from a near-fatal poisoning.

  4. Some says that his timing was wrong. He had to return close to elections and the protests must me organized after elections if there is a need.

    Idk, but it would end the same as we all know that Russia is one of the strongholds of authoritarian regimes. They wouldn’t let it to change at any cost.

  5. The fact that he went back after getting poisoned is absolutely insane. Dude sure loves his country.

  7. It’s already been a year??? Fucking hell why does COVID time move so quickly?

    That look in his eyes though… He knows what’s going to happen to him, he knows he’s going to have to say goodbye to his loved ones forever, and he knows his sacrifice might be completely in vain.

    Such a sad state of affairs that those who are most capable of making a positive change are often met with a tragic fate.

  8. Putin succeeded.

    If he killed him, he would turn him into a martyr.

    Instead, he locked him up. Now almost no one talks about navalny. They didn’t have to kill the man, they killed the idea.

  11. I just read on r/russia that it supposedly was the bundeswehr that poisoned him. The cognitive dissonance is staggering.

    I am really fed up with Surkov’s disinformation BS.

  13. Some of his colleagues are working with HBO on a documentary about all this and they said it’ll be out soon. I don’t know when it’ll release or where it will broadcast in Europe tho. On the poster it was titled Navalny: Poison Always Leaves A Trail

  14. they said that the airplane almost couldn’t take off due to the immense weight of this guy’s balls

  15. I bet after he finishes the sentence he’s going to be exiled. There is too much attention on him. Either he’s exiled or they are going to make up some other reasons to lock him up again. Cuz that’s the Putin way.

  16. Oh look ***Putin 2.0******!***

    Dude supports Russian expansionism, and racist to not only Georgians but to rest of Caucasians and Cental Asians as well.

  18. Why is Russia still a member of the Council of Europe?

    After occupying Crimea their voting rights in CoE were stopped but were later restored because “think of the common russians”. Well the ECHR (part of CoE) demanded that Navalny be released but nothing came of it. So what use is the ECHR for russians when Russia just ignores its rulings?

  19. Be careful not to consider him some sort of a hero, remember the way he referred to the Russian bombing of Georgia or the Kremlin situation

  20. Can we stop painting this man as a hero just because he opposes Putin? He is a right-wing nationalist who has spoken out in support of deporting immigrants from Russia and imprisoning gay people, who purposely used false numbers to paint all people from Chechnya as dangerous criminals that deserve to be shot and who took part in the Russian march in 2013, which is a meeting of nationalists, right wing populists and right wing extremists. He is NOT a good person and I’m not buying his shift in language for a second.

  24. Its not like we don’t have political prisoners in Western Europe. How’s Assange doing? Still rotting away in a prison for being a journalist?

  26. Hope he can handle prison tortured life forever, never should have gone back for his families sake in my opinion. I mean politically it was the correct thing todo, but who wants to spend a lifetime in prison like nelson mandela. Yeah eventually he was released after civil war in his country and became president but thats a lot of years of your life.

  27. The collective IQ of some of the people here spewing politics is less than percentage of genetic compatibility between a human and a rock…
