Some sources suggest he was taking a walk and suddenly fell to the ground. Very mysterious. Guess they ran out of windows.

Party elders were alarmed by his push for a more nationalist message. Defiantly, he recorded a pro-gun rights video in which he compared people from Russia’s mostly Muslim North Caucasus to “cockroaches” and mimicked shooting one with a pistol.

Racist fuck.

He regularly participated in neo-nazi marches, advocated to strip non-ethnic Russians of their Russian citizenship, and called muslim Chechens cockroaches. Anyone advocating for him as a "lesser evil" wants full-blown nazism.

Given what the west is backing in Gaza, I really get why westerners are so upset that a white nationalist is dead.

There will be others, this was highly unlikely to not happen

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Russia's most significant opposition leader for the past decade, Alexei Navalny, has died in prison inside the Arctic Circle, the prison service said.

Seen as President Vladimir Putin's most vociferous critic, Navalny was serving a 19-year jail term for offences widely considered politically motivated.

He was moved to an Arctic penal colony, considered one of the toughest jails, late last year.

The prison service in the Yamalo-Nenets district said he had "felt unwell" after a walk on Friday.

The causes of his death were being established, Tass news agency reported.

This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.


The original article contains 168 words, the summary contains 104 words. Saved 38%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Oh right, this instance's hot takes are going to be complete nonsense. 'The tortured opposition leader wasn't perfect, you guys!' No kidding. He still gets partial credit for sticking his neck out against a dictator-for-life who routinely murders opposition leaders. Everyone you'd prefer is already fucking dead.

I used to not understand how Hitler was able to rise to power. Now I do. It just requires more people like you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Oh...was Alexia the Russian leader who, like Hitler, is invading sovereign countries to expand their territory, refuses to tolerate dissent, murders or disappears those who speak out against him, cancels fair elections and then murders his political opponent, and relies on outrageously fake state propaganda and secret police to ensure loyalty?

Because all of that sounds very Vlad, very Vlad indeed.

Everyone who's not ideologically pure is literally Hitler. You figured out politics and it's super simple, good job.

Any liberals in the resistance movements against Hitler were literally Hitler.

Nobody but your special favorite friends are allowed to oppose a warmongering autocrat currently in power over an invading army.

you misspelled piss there bud

He also misspelled Navalny's name, as OP also did (but the article didn't), which is even more funny since it shows how much they do know about him and are just joining the yapping chorus of western propaganda.

Why do you say that? Or am I speaking to mr Putin?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I said that because Navalny is a fascist scumbag and a white supremacist. If that's the sort of people you support then you really need to check your morals.
