As reported exclusively by russian sources at the moment, he lost consciousness after a walking hour and prison medics were unsuccessful in reanimating him, as per sources in УФСИН (government body regulating prisons and punishment). He was 47 years old at that time. The last time he was heard of he was moved from Moscow-based prison into the IK-3 named Polar Wolf, a penal colony located in a permafrost region near the town of Harp, where he found his end.
No other sources commented on that by now. At that time, there’s no independent proof of that or other explanations but the one given by prison authorities.
A fitting reminder is that presidential elections are to be held in 15-17 of March, meaning it happened exactly one month prior to them.
Let’s be honest, Navalny was a nationalist right wing scumbag who thought 90s reforms were a good thing. There was zero chance of him ever becoming a prominent political figure in Russia because liberalism is a discredited ideology for most Russians today.
You put so much of your own views into your vision of russian history so I’d like to do the same.
In the 80s USSR was a dying corpse striving for a change. It’s dead was pronounced in many ways, from european republics trying to get independence to самиздат and the Leningrad’s rock club gaining popularity.
Russian politics in the 90s were all wrong, but not for the reasons you think. There was a wave of privatisation of factories, that could be okay on the paper, but it all ended up by respectable partners buying all of the stonks. That oligarchic rule is what we are struggling with right now. That’s the foundation of Putin’s Russia.
Yeah, privatization was the problem, and having lived through it personally, I know what things were like before Putin took over. Calling USSR a dying corpse striving for change is frankly absurd. USSR had problems to be sure, but liberalization was not the solution, and that’s precisely what led to privatization and Putin’s Russia today. USSR could’ve taken the route that China took and stayed communist. Liberalism is the actual cancer in Russia today.
Kek. Russia isn’t cursed because it chosed the liberal course. It’s cursed because it’s deeply corrupted, just like China rn.
😂
Are you american or european? I’m russian btw.
I grew up in Russia, and my family moved in late 90s. I currently live in Canada, but I still have relatives in Russia and I’d like to think I have a decent idea of what things are like currently.

Yes, seriously. I grew up under communism in USSR, and I also lived through the utter hell of the 90s and I’ll never forget that. My family was lucky to end up in Canada eventually, but we suffered greatly under liberalisation just like everyone else did.
I love how all libs like you know how to do is sling personal insults and grandstand. You are a truly morally bankrupt bunch. I have nothing else to say to you. It’s a good thing your heinous ideology is dying out in Russia.
