Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny dies in prison

Permanently Deleted

Libs will be more worked up about this than the continuing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza plus the injuries, suffering, and death in the West Bank.

Libs were always weird about this guy and sincerely believed he was a bigger deal than he was. Polls showed him trailing behind the Communist Party candidate and the financial minister

RIP Dollar General Juan Guaido.

I'm curious why anyone really gives a shit about this, the likelihood this guy was ever gonna me a challenger to Putin at this point is, what? .000000000001%, if that. Surprised I'm seeing as many posts about this as I am.

Goodbye Mr navalny and hello Mr guaido

imagine this being your life: sitting in prisons waiting for the CIA to help install you as the president. then you just die. lmao couldn't be me. what a dumbass.

surprised it took them this long

I wonder how the libs, who love this guy, will react to this.

Libs gave an Oscar to a movie about a guy who said he’d have no problem working with fascists if it made sure his goals are met. Good riddance.

But does he condemn Hummus?

Wake up Babe, new bozo just RIP'd

A fascist died? oh well

Update: Yuliya Navalnaya made a surprise appearance at the Munich Security Conference to appeal to everyone to punish the Russian regime. (NY Times)

Just hours after her husband was reported dead, Yulia Navalnaya made a dramatic, surprise appearance at a gathering of world leaders in Munich on Friday. Taking the stage, she denounced President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and vowed that he and his circle “will be brought to justice.”

The diplomats and political leaders at the Munich Security Conference were already reeling from reports that her husband, Aleksei A. Navalny, the Russian dissident, had died in prison under suspicious circumstances when Ms. Navalny stunned the hall by striding in. Conference organizers quickly wrapped up a session with Vice President Kamala Harris and turned the microphone over to Ms. Navalnaya.

“We cannot believe Putin and his government,” Ms. Navalnaya told the audience. “They are lying constantly. But if it’s true, I would like Putin and all his staff, everybody around him, his government, his friends, I want them to know that they will be punished for what they have done with our country, with my family and with my husband. They will be brought to justice, and this day will come soon.”

My man went from Blogger to Future President of Russia to Guy With Polonium Poisoning In A Serbian Prison and there's a part of me that's genuinely a bit jealous, because I'm still stuck at Blogger.

Looking forward to the Radio War Nerd episode about it that's probably coming out in let's see... twenty seconds or so

Love seeing a fascist die

Do you think it was the polonium-flavored tea that did it, as our liberal visitor from another thread would suggest?

Comrade @yogthos@lemmygrad.ml has been posting good stuff to remind the libs they're cheering for fascism, again.

Also today Hexbear stands in Solidarity with Ukraine in celebrating the death of that cockroach Navalny

This is making me seriously reconsider my plan of choosing to go to Russia knowing I'll be in solitary confinement until the day I die. Fuck. Back to square one.

People are already crying crocodile tears and exalting him as a paragon of freedom. Some are even doing the whole instagram story thing.

Sooo ridiculous, good riddance to that nazi.

Fucking good, hated that bitch worse than putin

May he rest in piss.

Putin out here doing in fascists. I don't like the guy but he is consistent in doing what he's saying.

oh no, anyway, whats going on for everybody this Friday?

lmao

Anyone have a tldr about the guy? Article says nothing about him.

RIP he wouldve loved the global caliphate in the making

Why is he the opposition leader when other parties get more votes?

Can someone explain to me why we have 🦀's out for this one? It's not like he's a hero or anything, I certainly am not going to miss him, but I thought he was basically just a somewhat more anti corruption, anti-immigration, and in other ways more socially progressive version of Putin who just got 'd for trying to organize an equally shitty party to most of the other parties, including United Russia and Putin's All-Russian People's Front

e: good discussion below, tl;dr he has earned his crabs

Russian prisons do be in need of improvement, sucks over there

lol rip bozo

Weird. I googled him (or at least Russian opposition leader) yesterday because I had forgotten his name.

good riddance

Alexei Navalny has declared himself interim president of Hades.

Not to be rude but how did he think this was gonna go?
