Navalny’s death robs Russia’s disparate opposition of its most charismatic and courageous leader as Putin prepares for an election that will keep him in power until at least 2030.

This guy was a nobody in Russia. He was a leader of 30 meaningless guys scattered across the 11 time zones of the country. Even they probably would not recognize him on a street.

Just go look at the Wiki for the upcoming election. The candidates who filed for the presidency who actually have a following and a party are the ones who represent an opposition. Not this non-entity.

Think so?

Wiki, eh? Well that's easy when opposition candidates generally get "disqualified" for one bogus reason or another, get arrested and imprisoned, or else killed.

Not this non-entity.

Because Putin first tried to poison him to death, and then locked him up an arctic prison and threw away the key?

He became an NPC when he chose the wrong side of the Ukraine War, similar to siding with Japan after Pearl Harbor.
