As reported earlier by Kristinn Taylor, Russian democracy activist Alexei Navalny, 47, reportedly died in a Soviet era gulag located north of the Arctic Circle on Friday, according to the Russian prison authority. Navalny leaves behind his wife, Yulia Navalnaya, and their two children.
Navalny organized anti-government demonstrations and ran for office to advocate reforms against corruption in Russia, and against President Vladimir Putin and his government.
In 2021 Navalny was ordered to prison for 2.5 years.
Navalny reportedly fell ill and died while taking a walk. Navalny’s wife and lawyers are awaiting confirmation of his death. Navalny was an opponent of Russian President Vladmir Putin and had been persecuted for decades, poisoned and jailed.
Earlier today George Papadopoulos tweeted out the inconvenient video of Navalny plotting a revolution with the help of British spies through a top aide.
Papadopoulos writes:
"It’s horrific when a political opponent dies in jail.
But it’s also never good to be caught on camera attempting a coup in your country with a foreign intel service.
Navalny in this video is asking MI6 Officer James William Thomas Ford for $10-20 Million a year to start a color revolution in Russia.
This is why he was arrested. And has major implications especially in light of the CIA and MI6 sabotaging the Trump administration.
Russia and the U.S. are more alike than you think. Sadly."
Although Papadopoulos says the man in the video is Navalny, RT reports that the footage, recorded in the early 2010s, is of a close associate of Navalny, Vladimir Ashurkov.
The tape, which was first reported by RT television on Monday, is said to have been filmed by the Federal Security Service (FSB) sometime in 2012 and allegedly shows a meeting between Vladimir Ashurkov and an employee of the British Embassy in Moscow. Ashurkov is the executive director of the FBK, Alexey Navalny’s anti-corruption organization.
DC Draino asked the obvious follow-up question: “So, was Navalny also working with the CIA?”
"Nothing to see here
Just an undercover video of Alexei Navalny asking MI6 Officer James William Thomas Ford for $10-20 Million/yr to start a color revolution in Russia
He was organizing a coup & got arrested"

LOL, sure Navalny was going to lead a Russian Spring while serving a 30 1/2 year prison sentence above the Arctic circle. Okay
Don't forget the Clinton aid who walked into a park near the White House and shot himself -- in the back of the head. Or, how about the young dem staffer who walked down the street and was shot in the back but not robbed -- just dead.
Where I live, we call that "the pot calling the kettle black!"
That video is pure comedy. Not even the Kremlin and their third-world “tech” would be able to produce such bad video.
The voice is totally off sync with the guy talking.
How on earth is it even possible, in this day and age, to film such an extreme badly looking video. Black and white is a technology that doesn’t even exist anymore.
But for people who believe the earth is flat, and that Americans never went to the moon, then this joke-video is excellent.
Aside the fact that he's a British Intelligence asset caught on camera. He supported the annexation of Crimea and didn't consider Caucasians to be humans, he called them insects and cockroaches."
X video HERE
Navalny is far more famous in the West than he is in Russia.
At least I’m not like you, posting from Kazan in Russian Tatarstan. And repeating Putin’s propaganda
