Good… it should.. just FYI, we have family in russia. They have police and military checkpoints around cities. Usually harmless just checking documents but its a pressure thats embedded in the minds of civilians. My family carries 3 phones, one to give if asked, one as a decoy if searched and one hidden better to talk to us here in the US.
They have friends who tried starting demonstrations in a village and the insane loyalists burnt their house down. Its a mess there. You can actually die if the wrong people think you are against putin because in their eyes it means you are against Russia. They are not very bright
Maybe stop killing rivals?
It should!
Is shameful lie!!!
Feerless leeder is feer no body, no thing, no how!
Nothing says legitimate democracy like that headline
I think Putin lives in fear every minute of his life and it’s only going to get worse.
>Russian authorities have yet to release Navalny’s body to his family, while his mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, said on February 22 they were pressing her to hold a private funeral “without any farewell ceremonies.”
>The government of Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely refusing to release the body of opposition leader Aleksei Navalny, who died suspiciously in prison on February 16, because it fears a massive outpouring of grief and support just ahead of the March presidential election. “There could be large-scale confrontations in Moscow,”
>”The authorities do not want people to understand how many of them oppose Putin. The main task of Putin’s propaganda is to convince people that if they are against Putin, they are on the margins…. If people see that there are really a lot of them…then the situation can change in seconds.”
>Putin’s government was “pushing us toward revolution” by replacing politics with government violence.
>”The more it uses violent methods and the harsher it is with the opposition, the greater the likelihood that the opposition will become radicalized and adopt responses that are rather harsh and radical,” he said. “And after that, one should expect that Russia will become a democratic country. That is just objective reality.”
Putin seems to have a serious case of Small-Man-Complex.
poor baby. that’s the loving hand of karma, Putski! now don’t be a coward and face the consequences. get your buddy Traitor Tucker to defend you or something.
With the amount of people he’s using as cannon fodders, would there even be enough manpower in the country to contain mass protests? Short of using drastic measures like lethal forces.
Putin is afraid of a corpse.
What Putin (and most dictators in general) want is not just their opponent’s dead, but for the idea of their opponents to be dead as well. Arresting people at demonstrations piss people off. Every person you arrest for marching in the streets is a few more family and friends of the arrestee who are mad at the state.
I dont think there will be mass demonstrations. The russian people have consistently been spineless for the past generation.
Yes, yes it will.
Should have thought about that before killing him.
I really hope it does irregardless
If Putin was afraid of the funeral – maybe he should have thought of that before he ordered Navalny murdered.
Leader of a massive country and the thing he fears the most is a dead man. He can’t even publicly mention his name because he’s so horrified of him. He’s like Putins Voldemort, RIP.
Putin is more afraid of Navalny in death as much as he was in life. Cowardly coward should be haunted by Navalny for the rest of his days.
Hopefully they smash the Kremlin and revolt.
I looks like a tragedy-comedy: Putin allows himself to kill whoever he wants in Russia, but he still tries very hard to respect his own laws, even at his own discomfort.
Khodorkovsky is really trying to stay relevant with his comments. Dude is such a POS, hopefully he never gets anywhere close to power
Putin is a coward
Make his fears come true
I don’t think so, I think he’s more scared of a coup from within the government like how prigozhin almost did when he marched towards Moscow. There’s still a big number of people who love Putin.
For such a powerful leader he sure is scared of his people.
Putin Fears Others…its why ANY human wishes to have Imperial ambitions….to create a meat shield of followers
California has a bigger economy than Russia.
Idk what to do with that fact.
Maybe fund a Russian Revolution and get Moscow as a sister city to Oakland? Trade vodka and caviar for craft beer and burritos?
One day, skeletons will start falling out of the closet.
there were like 100 people laying flowers in moscow. i dont see how there would be any kind of mass demonstration
Good. Let it.
Guess you shouldnt have killed him?
Why would he fear that? Russians have had their spirits repeatedly crushed over the centuries and mostly seem to be aiming to avoid the notice of the powerful these days.
Listen everybody!
General Lamarque is dead!
Lamarque! His death is the hour of fate
The people’s man
His death is the sign we await!
On his funeral day they will honor his name
With the light of rebellion ablaze in their eyes
With their candles of grief we will kindle our flame
On the tomb of Lamarque shall our barricade rise
The time is here!
Let us welcome it gladly with courage and cheer
Let us take to the streets with no doubt in our hearts
But a jubilant shout
They will come one and all
They will come when we call!
This is dumb.
Navalny was a glorified blogger.
He wasn’t that popular. He was propped up because he was the only thing the US had to work with in country before they immediately shifted to ‘pussy riot’.
Americans are trying to create a ‘Nelson Mandela’ personality cult around this man.
These stories and others like it are cynical attempts to train a Western audience brainwashed by cinema (Marvel Universe lol) into thinking that Putin’s dictatorship is teetering and any day now the big bad man will get his just deserts and on and on.
The purpose of these fairy tales is to reinforce internal Western dogma during a time when ‘liberal values’ are increasingly being rejected globally.
The truth is Putin is popular. Whether he garnered that popularity through methods that are ‘legitimate’ in Western eyes or not, he is popular.
This is a man that has been able to kill his political rivals and shrugged off the Wagner coup attempt with almost no pushback. He’s firmly in control and not living in constant fear of his own people as articles like this suggest. He’s winning right now.
