    a man who possesses a vision for Russia and the high principles to lead it

    Just a friendly reminder that the guy who the US media is constantly writing propaganda for is a white supremacist whose only problem with Putin is that he isn’t openly racist enough. Fuck Putin but fuck Navalny as well.

      I’m not an expert on the subject but my undestanding is aswell that he’s not the saint many wish he was. Someone speculated that he probably wouldn’t even withdraw the troops from Ukraine if he became the president.

    All these comments read like pro-russian propaganda.

    If you’re gonna claim this guy is bad, I need to see references.

      Jacobin: https://jacobin.com/2021/01/alexei-navalny-russia-protests-putin

      I don’t know, pointing to his (ultra-)nationalism doesn’t seem like a pro-Russian narrative based on the variety of sources and him dropping it over the years seems more like a play to gain more mainstream support. I don’t know if he’s a Western asset or not, but I really liked his team’s effort of flying drones over Putin’s secretive compound and him going to Russia, knowing what would be waiting for him was ballsy as fuck. Contrary to what a lot of people here seem to automatically assume is that a lot of people who don’t buy the NATO Ukraine narrative aren’t fans of Putin or Russian imperialism either.
