    Navalny does not have popular support. He had so little support in fact he had to form an alliance with two other tiny parties.

    And if you want more additional recent stuff, he pretended he had been poisoned by Putin not once but THREE times lmao.

    You are concern trolling and that makes me wonder who you really are. “I hope you don’t disagree with people who fight for freedom… The things he said were 10 years ago…” what is your goal here? You know we don’t have the power to free him on Lemmygrad lol.

      My goal is just to know people’s opinions. I state mine, you state yours and I’m trying to figure out why these two differ. Only now I’ve noticed it’s been posted to Lemmygrad, oops. I guess that makes a bit more sense now.

      And if you want more additional recent stuff, he pretended he had been poisoned by Putin not once but THREE times

      How does that proves his beliefs regarding the topic? I was wondering if there are any recent statements or actions he did that would confirm the accusations. So far I haven’t seen any. Do you think he’s just hiding his beliefs? If so, then why?

      If you think he faked his poisoning, then what do you think had happend? Why he is so oppressed by the Russian government?

        Navalny is not oppressed. Oppression implies a systemic, or institutional policy. He is at most targetted, much like a criminal is targetted. Because that is what he is, but he has sold to the “West” (mostly from Western Europe) this idea that he is a freedom fighter because he’s a politician. This narrative has been powered by intelligence agencies that would like to see a comprador Navalny at the helm of Russia. If he was anything but a politician he would not get that much attention. Even the opposition in my country (with our free liberal elections) doesn’t get that much coverage.

        As for the three poisonings themselves and what happened there, it’s pretty self-explanatory. He made up the lie, and when he called the “agent”, he actually called a friend with whom he had rehearsed a script.

        Are we supposed to believe the Putin government is so incapable that they would mess up a poisoning three times (you’d think after the first or second attempt they would switch methods)? AND that the agent would also blurt out all details to some stranger on the phone without verifying their identity? Yet paradoxically they were competent enough to arrest Navalny without issues, they are competent enough to be a major threat to the USA (or so the USA claims in the media anyway), they are competent enough to deploy their armies in Syria and other countries.
