Vladimir Putin's fierce rival and critic Alexei Navalny has died, according to the prison service.
The Russian opposition leader, who was the most prominent and persistent domestic foe of President Vladimir Putin, had been serving a 19-year sentence on an extremism conviction. He had been incarcerated in central Russia’s Vladimir region, 140 miles east of Moscow.
Navalny has been behind bars in Russia since January 2021, when he returned to Moscow after recuperating in Germany from nerve agent poisoning that he blamed on the Kremlin. Before his arrest, he campaigned against official corruption and organized major anti-Kremlin protests.

US journalist Evan Gershkovich CONTINUES to be held by Putin’s Russia on bogus spying charges ... been there almost 11 months now
Odd that you aren’t concerned at all about that American’s life, isn’t it?
Maybe Tucker, that f’ing hack, can swing by the prison and dance on Navalny’s grave during his loving tour of Russia.
Funny how a pretender accuses others of pretending when he’s caught pretending.
The Inside Story of How Alexey Navalny Uncovered Putin’s $1.3 Billion Palace
Two days after Alexey Navalny, head of Russia’s Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) was arrested on his return to Moscow from Berlin, he released a video expose that shocked Russians and people around the world. In the video, “Putin’s palace. History of the world’s largest bribe,” Navalny alleged that an opulent property near Gelendzhik, a town in the southern Russian region of Krasnodar, was constructed for Russian President Vladimir Putin with illicit funds of $1.35 billion, provided by members of his inner circle, and that Putin is the real owner of the palace.
The palace’s features apparently include a port, a vineyard, a church, a casino, an underground hockey rink, and toilet brushes costing $850 a piece. “It is a separate state within Russia… And in this state there is a single, irreplaceable tsar. Putin,” Navalny said in the video. Allegedly covering an area of 17, 691 square meters, it is the largest private residential building in Russia.
He just got fisked badly on another thread and he's still butthurt.
He’s on all the threads about this, it seems, screaming about how this is not a big deal.
Screaming.
The proposed budget for DoD in fiscal year 2024 is $842 billion.
Even if they manage to steal just 1-2% (and it's probably considerably more), that's a lot of beach houses for the 0.01% elites.
"Follow the money."
😂😂😂
Odd that you play whataboutism over the death of one American blogger/ journalist with the imprisonment case of another to show your concern vs mine
Well, Jon - still hoping for a better position in the next Soviet state?
The Democrats always telegraph what they’re going to do. The 2024 “election" is very important to them. Remember the “Kraken" from 2020? I think part of it was supposed to be overseas computer servers rigging the Dominion machines. Now, the Democrats have Ukraine and StarLink and a few billion US dollars.
I think of Ukraine as the Democrat’s extra-jurisdictional base of operations. They think they can run any operation they want out of there and not get convicted, anywhere.
How is our border?
Still got the framed picture of John Bolton in your bedroom.
Hmmm? I would wager you are right about that.
some background...
Focus, America is in deep trouble.
The same Zeepers that were thrilled and dancing on the grave of Gonzalo Lira who died in the prison in Ukraine want people to cry over Navalny dying in prison in Russia.
Navalny was a Russian, Lira was an American of dual citizenship and married to a Uke.
Who do Zeepers care about? Why it is the Russian. LOL
Putting political opponents on trial and arresting them.Seems like a lot of that going on right now.
