Страшно видеть полицейский режим страха и силы, правящий в России. Вы действительно хотите так жить?
Typical in Russia
This is what the next Trump presidency will look like. He wants that kind of power. VOTE.
Imagine being arrested for supporting a political figure, yet republicans support him. As a republican this makes me ashamed. I support trump and all that, but i cant begin to understand how some republicans can support Putin and Russia considering freedom of speech is a huge talking point among us!
wow so disgusting u cant hold a sign up in democratic russia
Only brave people will stand for their own
Russians want putin out
Russians want putin out
Russians want putin out
Protest !!!!!
We support you russian people to protest
🇺🇦💪
Viva Putin☦️🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Trumpeters should learn from this.
Russia is torn apart by Putin's tyranny..
peaceful protest…. seems like not allowed in Russia.
free russian people, free russian people…. from its terrorist regime and putin.
Wanna hear a joke?
Russia is a democratic country :).
In Wikipedia (The_Economist_Democracy_Index) there is a "Democracy Index published by the Economist Group", and Russia is at position 144 ("Authoritaria") out of 167 countries. That explains pretty much what is happening in this video.
My country, Finland, is at position 5 ("Full democracy") btw :).
Mudered
Don't give up
Long live his name in our moral compass. The world and people must stand firm the best way they can. Mr Navalny lives on in our hearts and minds across the world. Putin will not live forever
Oh
This country needs to disappear.
I bet the west was hoping for massive protests…that's why they killed Navalny just before the elections.
Bei sämtlichen deutschen Pressemeldungen über dieses traurige, erschütternde und unfassbare Thema, sind sämtliche Kommentarspalten gesperrt. Kein Wunder, da unsere drecks rotgrüne Diktatur, viel zu gern wieder mit Putin & Konsorten, wirtschaftlich zusammen kommen will. Daher gilt: " Erst kommt das Fressen, dann die Moral!"
What a shameful country 😢
It’s amazing the the police in Russia are just Putins goons
big protest, over ten peoples.
I never will ever underestimate living relatively safe here in Australia, we are far from perfect but my heart goes out to these people
The regime is more brutal than ever
Весь мир разделяет боль смерти Навального. Россия, мир с тобой. Мария из Испании
Navalny believed in Mother Russia!
Putin made his own worst enemy a martyr. If Putin had let him rot in prison, he would have eventually been forgotten. But in his death he awakened a country. I wonder if Putin realizes exactly what he has done. He made Navalny a martyr. And people fight for their martyrs.
They really have no laws in there.
ВСТАВАЙТЕ, ЛЮДИ ОГРОМНЫЕ, ПРИШЛО ВРЕМЯ ДЛЯ РЕВОЛЮЦИИ
In russia it it not even allowed to mourn russian war victims because it is not allowed to call it a war. Crazy.
