Russian Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny Dies In Jail

Via ZeroHedge

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in a maximum-security prison in the country’s far north, the Interfax news service reported Friday, citing the Federal Penitentiary Service.

47 year old Navalny, a major critic of President Vladimir Putin, vanished in December from a prison in the Vladimir region where he was serving a three-decade term for extremism and fraud charges that he had called political payback for his anti-Kremlin stance a decade ago. He had no expectations of getting out of jail as long as Putin was in power.

He later emerged in a remote Arctic prison camp, ending nearly three weeks in which his whereabouts were unknown, after he was moved from a prison outside Moscow.

“On February 16, 2024, in penal colony No. 3, convict A.A. Navalny felt unwell after a walk, almost immediately losing consciousness,” Interfax said, citing the country’s prison service.

The Russian news agency continued: “The facility’s medical workers immediately arrived at the scene and an emergency medical team was called in. All necessary resuscitation measures have been carried out, but they did not yield positive results. Emergency medics confirmed the death of the convict.”

Navalny’s death leaves any opposition to Putin in question. All of Putin’s top adversaries are now either deceased, imprisoned, or living in exile.

Navalny was, undoubtedly, the biggest thorn in the Kremlin’s side. For over a decade, he led nationwide protests against the authorities, ran for office to challenge members of the Russian establishment and set up a network of campaign offices across the country that have since been dismantled.

Of course, the timing of Navalny’s death shortly after Tucker Carlson’s interview with Russian President Putin has set the socials on fire.

Seems to me it’s as least as likely that the CIA got him – conveniently timed to influence the Ukraine aid bill. Navalny had zero support within Russia – except maybe among the members of Pussy Riot. Why would Putin bother killing someone so irrelevant? His death is a happy event for Jake Sullivan.

You just contradicted yourself. You really need to get a brain. The CIA is trying to make Putin look bad because they take their orders directly from the Democrat Deep State — who were just thoroughly exposed by Tucker’s interview. Try to use your tiny brain. LOL

But not to worry. I’m sure that Adumb Schiff will insist that he will soon have all of the “evidence” needed to “prove” this fantastic claim — as soon as he makes it up! LOL

The U.S. left its own citizen – Gonzalo Lira- to die in a Ukrainian prison. It’s left Assange to die in a UK hellhole for committing journalism. Do the Amerophiles take notice? America is every bit as censorious and tyrannical as Russia. More so, since Putin at least wants the best for his people. Which is more than can be said for the cabal that runs the U.S., working against heritage Americans and actively importing our replacements.

America is fucking awful. That doesn’t make Russia not censorious or tyrannical. Old people are getting a decade in prison for the equivalent of ‘misinformation’ about the war.

“since Putin at least wants the best for his people”

Hillary Clinton met with Putin on multiple occasions too. He readily admitted that he would have much preferred that she be elected POTUS rather than DJT.

He was also quite pleased that she’d allowed him to buy all the Uranium that he needed to replenish his nuclear arsenal — something that President Trump would NEVER have sanctioned!

And yet certain leftist fools continue to claim that Putin interfered to elect DJT instead. Seriously? Only a truly delusional moron could possibly swallow that! LOL

The Russian “Sputnik” vax wasn’t mRNA based. They wisely chose to use the traditional vaccine technology versus the experimental GMO jab, as did the Chinese. They clearly knew something that we didn’t. Unless, of course, our “leaders” knew that it was potentially toxic — and still chose to use it anyways.

Russian MFA

The way the Western leaders, politicians and media have responded to the news of Alexei Navalny’s death has once again revealed their hypocrisy, cynicism and lack of principles. This is the “blame Russia first” approach in action. With a prepped script ready for every situation.

Let’s look at the timeline. 👇

Today at approximately 2:19 pm, the website operated by the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia for the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area reported the death of convict Alexey Navalny in Prison Colony No. 3.

Literally 15 minutes later, a flurry of carbon-copy accusations poured in:

– 2:35 pm, Tobias Billström: “Terrible news about Navalny. If the information about his death in a Russian prison is confirmed, it will be another heinous crime by Putin’s regime”;
– 2:35 pm, Barth Eide: “I’m deeply saddened by the news of Navalny’s death. The Russian government bears a heavy burden of responsibility for this”;
– 2:41 pm, Edgars Rinkevics: “Whatever your thoughts about Alexei Navalny as a politician, he was just brutally murdered by the Kremlin. That’s a fact and that is something one should know about the true nature of Russia’s current regime”;
– 2:50 pm, Jan Lipavsky: “Russia still treats foreign policy issues the same way it treats its citizens. It has turned into a violent state that kills people who dream of a beautiful, better future, such as Nemtsov and now Navalny, who was imprisoned and tortured to death”;
– 2:51 pm, Stéphane Séjourné: “Navalny paid with his life to fight against a system of oppression. His death in a penal colony reminds us of the realities of Vladimir Putin’s regime”;
– 3:02 pm, Charles Michel: “The EU holds the Russian regime solely responsible for this tragic death”;
– 3:10 pm Kiev regime kingpin Zelensky: “Clearly, he was killed by Putin, like thousands of others who were tortured to death”;
– 3:16 pm (media), 4:50 pm (social media), Jens Stoltenberg: “We need to establish all the facts, and Russia needs to answer all the questions”;
– 3:20 pm, Mark Rutte: “Navalny’s death once again bears witness to the immense brutality of the Russian regime”;
– 3:30 pm, Maia Sandu: “Navalny’s death in a Russian prison is a reminder of the regime’s egregious suppression of dissent”;
– 3:35 pm, Annalena Baerbock: “Like no one else, Alexei Navalny was a symbol for a free and democratic Russia. That is precisely the reason he had to die”;
– 3:43 pm, Ursula von der Leyen: “A grim reminder of what Putin and his regime are all about”;
– 3:49 pm, Ulf Kristersson: “The Russian authorities, and President Putin personally, are responsible for Alexei Navalny no longer being alive”;
– 3:14 pm, Olaf Scholz: “He has now paid for this courage with his life. This terrible news demonstrates once again how Russia has changed and what kind of regime is in power in Moscow”;
– 3:25 pm, Antony Blinken: “Beyond that, his death in a Russian prison and the fixation and fear of one man only underscores the weakness and rot at the heart of the system that Putin has built. Russia bears responsibility for this”;
– 5:28 pm, Emmanuel Macron: “In today’s Russia, free spirits are put in the Gulag and sentenced to death”;

Within a short period of time, two hours as a matter of fact (starting at 2:19 pm), Western politicians and their subordinate media managed, it appears, to get the results of a forensic examination that has yet to take place, to investigate, to indict Moscow and to render a verdict.

There is no explanation other than to assume these responses were prepared in advance.

Perhaps we could believe this unbelievable, seemingly miraculous swiftness had the whole world not witnessed the months-long, toothless “investigation” into the terrorist attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines, which fizzled out eventually.

What distinguishes all these statements is the glaring absence of even a suggestion of perhaps… waiting until the results of a forensic examination and investigation are available.

Too funny. The body wasn’t even cold and an autopsy has yet to be performed, but the Very Fake News had already “investigated” the incident, manufactured a self-serving narrative, and pronounced “judgement” on Putin as being a “murderer”.

They must be really pissed that he just outed them as being the root cause of the continuing Ukraine conflict, which would likely have been resolved 2 years ago had the West simply not interfered.
