Our regular episode of the Situation Room will be coming tomorrow. It made sense to push it a day in order to get this out. Thanks for your patience.
You are deliberately deleting comments you don't like. Shame on you
@@Hamsteren91 YT automatically deletes comments for the mildest of reasons and does not notify you when this has happened. It's possible that is what's happened to your deleted comments. It's also possible that you're a troll and your comments were deleted for good reason.
Thank you as always Simon, for your integrity and discretion. From the Bronx.
@@np8139 there is a lot of simple day to day words that youtube automaticly banns the whole comments because of.
Read my post from a few minutes ago, prime candidate for sure.
The lack of ads on a topic of this severity is a breath of fresh air.
Putin had to get creative with this one because there were no windows in his jail cell for him to fall out of.
“Sudden Death Syndrome” is literally the least creative farce I’ve ever heard.
@@jeffc1753like a blood clot from the clot shot 😂
Putin literally had to do nothing but wait for Navalny to mouth off to some convicts. Every prison has its own rules

There are many authoritarians today, unfortunately. I find some comfort in this quote "Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always."
Mahatma Gandhi, Gandhi: An Autobiography
No they dont always fall, most of them die comfortable at old age, Mao Zedong, Castro, Franco, Stalin!
Time is the enemy that no man, no beast, and no thing can beat.
Sadly, tyrants are frequently replaced with tyrants.
Exactly - That's why the fall of America is inevitable
Gandhi was an autocrat who beget autocrats.
Are you so sure of that. With the advancement of Artificial Intelligence and the advancement of Medical technology it may soon become possible for people with great wealth too live a very, very long time. There is also the hint of an Ancient Religion that allows the healing of the body thru the sacrifice of others.
From the media, I always found Navalny to be a unique man in how he blatantly tackled (and trolled) the Russian government. He knew he would likely die, yet didn’t give up in the pursuit of what he felt was right.
The world could do with a few Navalny’s right now. RIP
if anything maybe a few would spy on pro-Russian forums, groups, and meetings across the world.
he was a neo nazi lol
His wife, now widow, has announced she would continue his mission (as she already did), so even if her chances are slim the chapter Navaly might not be completely closed yet.
Like all opposition figures, his death may not be the last.
He tried to start a labor union in the gulag
What a madlad, may his name be forever remembered.
He will soon be forgotten
@@Leah-ju8ht never going to happen.. The whole situation is a none issue, at the end of the day its Putins Russia and he can do w.e he likes with his people and given history is written by the victors.. Navalny lost.
@@gmw3083when Russia falls fails or Putin dies, Navanly will be remembers as a stepping stone towards Russian democracy.
@@Leah-ju8ht I'm already forgotten. I wouldn't have it any other way.
@@Corey_Mckillingthat was how it was before the age of information. It’s almost impossible to cover this up as long as the internet exists.
I was honestly surprised that he let Navalny live for so long. Prigoschin signed his death certificate when he stopped his march on Moscow
In the last 1000 years, nobody dared to attack Moscow, how putin could leave him unpunished?
Hard to fight a war when your opponents have your family and those of your officers
@@usonumabeach300 you dont just start a rebelliom and stop halfway... if you start one, see it to the end. Thats how all the big ones went troughout history. That marching could have been the start of a civil war and the destruction of putin but alas
Why would they kill him? No one gave a damn about him since they put him in jail. He posed no threat, had no money and no influence. Prigozhin had 25000 armed dudes ready for action and billions in his pocket. And his "march" was seen as a betrayal. That's why he was taken out so quickly. Navalny never came close to any real power other than on the internet. When he started to present some sort of a threat, he was poisoned and then jailed. The idea of him being some kind of Putin's sworn enemy is ridiculos. Putin probably didn't even bother to think about him too much.
jin as in treaSure
So Navalny returned to Russia to become a martyr, he had no other option to fight Putin realistically and we'll see if he succeeded in the short- or long-term. Even if his death does not bring change in Russia in the coming years, people will remember, another name to remember for those Russians who hate oppression.
Once you smell the political blood, hard to resist the temptation and dream of being famous
@@DK-ev9dg It has less to do with clout and more about him giving it his all to fight what he believed in and also that no matter what Putin does, he IS a martyr. That's always a massive defeat to any regime since martyrs never go away, they become symbols and ideals which you cannot kill.
I doubt anything comes of this in the next few years but such things accumulate like the drops of water in the proverbial bucket, it will spill one day.
Idiotic move to go back to russia. Its not worth being a martyr when especially the impact seem like a bloodrop in a sea of blood
realistically - he had no option to fight putler at all.
in other words, useless. so typical.
I used to watch Navalnyi,
They killed him 100%
I mean they almost killed him before like 2 or 3 times
Sad, nothing will change because nothing changed when Nemtzov was killed, and Nemtzov was a bigger political figure
Compared to all other news networks this is by far the best synopsis of this man and shows how strong humanity can be.
Navalny was a US asset, Wikileaks have revealed he was being paid by Washington....and you think this is quality news😂
Regardless of this man's ideal political structure his courage and bravery is to be admired. To face death is nothing.. but to face a decade of torture, whether it be mental or physical, puts an unimaginable burden on the soul. I don't think there are words that can properly express what he went through.
I can…
I was married 😔
He was a CIA backed puppet who was attempting to start a color revolution, the same thing that happened in Ukraine
@@escos0410 lol😆
@@rafelingd 😂😂
Navalny literally called for the genocide all Muslims in Russia in a 2007 video. He presented himself as a “certified nationalist” who wanted to exterminate “flies and cockroaches”. He was a diehard nationalist who attended far-right/neo-Nazi rallies in Russia. Only recently he started toning it down because his Western handlers told him to. He also supported the annexation of Crimea. What a great guy he was, eh?
Putler refusing to release Navalny's intact body for independent autopsy and assessment will amount to an admission of guilt of his murder.
“Independent autopsy”
Why would federal structure do that, they have their own means and they have the authority to conduct them
And they have their corrupt investigators to falsify the reports.@@ALMAZ157
@@ALMAZ157 if you need someone to explain it to you then you aren't going to listen to the explanation
Bingo
@@ALMAZ157 It doesn't worth explaining, the guy already thinks Putin has nothing else to do but personaly hide the body from the "independent autopsy" because he murdered him with his own hands or something.
RIP Alexei you gave everything you could give including your life for your fellow countrymen. We can only hope it helps to galvanize and motivate true changes.
He has almost no support😂🤣
Navalny would have been just as bad as Putin as he sided with neo-nazis and ultranationalists. Don't feel sorry for him.

@@gmw3083 There’s no truth in anything associated with Trump, Putin, Carlson, and those like you who ingest their trash blindly.
I'm glad that I can count on you guys for neutral narrative, and didn't try to sugarcoat Navalny as some sort of saint. While some of his views was far from ideal to western ideology, he did stand as an important person for Russian opposition.
Agree and well said!
For who? The West? He was for sale for anybody who would buy him.
😂😂😂 hi was a cia asset, he was taking payments from Washington as revealed by Wikileaks.....sugar coat😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a person who lives in russian opposition context, I can say that Navalny has changed some of his views he had in 2014-2017 (in positive way). His statements changed.
But I also do not like when people call him “saint”. Nobody is saint, especially politicians. But he was a great man with his pros and cons, who really wanted to see his country free, peaceful and democratic. He was an inspiration for many young people, even if they don’t support some of his views. That’s why even decolonisation activists in russia support him and his family these days.
(And yeah, western ideology experiences crisis, let’s not forget who bought gas and oil and sold police equipment even after 2014..)
@@linashern4316 Navalny was polling at 3 percent....he was a Washington asset outlined by Wikileaks.....people are easier to fool than animals.

Oh, Russian bots are at it again. Navalny never urged to drop sanctions from oligarchs He was the one who was doing quite opposite.
He was being paid by Washington revealed by wiki leaks, he was a double agent.
It is worth noting that Kassym-Jomart Kemeluly Tokayev, the current President of Kazakhstan described the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic as "quasi state territories", and said Kazakhstan would never recognize Abkhazia or South Ossetia as independent countries when he was sitting just a few meters away from Putin, at festival held at Putin's home town, to which Tokayev was the guest of honor. Tokayev is still alive and still President of Kazakhstan, what a Chad.
Depends he is a politician they say something and do something else some of the time
There's a major difference between removing internal opposition and removing a leader of another state.
@Bah56 also, there is a major difference between an irrelevant nobody and a head of state. Putin didn't care about Navalny. His untimely end does putin no good

I buy the narrative he had a walk, felt ill and died... A forced walk, nude maybe, in the Arctic will cause that.
Navalny was the last victim of that cruel tyrant. One day Putin will pay for his crimes, if not before men, then before God. Rest in peace all those who were victims of this monster, you will not be forgotten.

I assure you, while this is happening, 99 percent of the world doesn't care. If you ask me? Other people only pretend to care about others. Until they are a victim. Or someone they know. Most people didn't give a shit about hitler until well after his warpath was underway. Most didnt care about stalin as he devoured his own. Most dont care about putin ashe devours others. I dont think people are capable of caring about anyone other than themselves. You see plenty of evidence to support this.
I want to cry so bad..... never give up.
Me too your not alone be strong
damn it..
He was recieving payments from Washington revealed by Wikileaks......you like traitors do you?
Why
Navalny is paid by Washington
He was a very brave man. Too brave for politics. May he rest in peace.
A Russian journalist put it beautifully: “We in Russia never doubted that, somehow, Navalny would become our George Washington. We have lost that, but we gained our Martin Luther King, Jr.”
Lmao😂😂
That's what I thought at l least, Navalny might've known, that if he died in prison, he will become a martyr for his ideals and inspire others in the wake of his death.
Did you just put M.L.King with a Navalny Russian Nazi

Putin reminds me so much of Hitler because he was a little man given power to begin with and then elected by the public an, he was mad about a previous war event against the West and started building up against it
Except that he is also an ex-KGB agent. Compared to H1tler, he already had a head start.
Hitler never never elected, at least not for President
Comparing any politician to Hitler these days, no matter how alike they actually are, just shows that you have nothing of value to say.
Hitler was never elected President of Germany though. It’s a misconception people have
@@Tetragramixwhy tho? Why is comparing someone to Hitler something taboo? An analogy can’t be a strong argument by itself, but Hitler was a really important figure, so why can’t other politicians be compared to him?
My fiancé has bruises from the Russian Nazi police just for being at a public mourning for the death Navalny. Not even like a protest or anything like that. People being beaten, detained and taken away by the police are happening all across the country in similar public gathering to mourn the death.
Putin makes me sick. This must be how our ancestors felt during the lead up to WW2.
That's literally how anyone feels whenever any country starts a war... And wars happen all the time.
I'm surprised he lived this long
Saying that Russia was part of the USSR is like saying England was part of the British empire.
its as if Putin wants to be king...
Not certainly in that way. Of all the republics, Russia was the largest and most significant. Unfortunately, there was no equality between the republics. It was also an empire
It's more like saying England is part of the UK.
@@Tungyska What nuance are you even trying to bring into this? The USSR was an iteration of the Russian empire.
@@spooksmalloy How is that a more accurate analogy?
This is absolutely tragic what Navalny had to go through and it honestly seems like the only way that Putin would be booted out is if the actual Russian army (and not a paramilitary force like the Wagner Group) would revolt and that seems, to quote Simon in this video, Implausible at best.
Navalny was a literally Nazi supporter, there should no be sympathy for those. Also He was just a paid agent to do what the highest bidder paid
Of course its impossible, why would they? The average online slav can see that western society is facetious at most, no different than their current situation
Хрен вам!!!
@@heybeter9505 how many of the 70 western countries arrest people for leaving flowers at memorials and executes people for the crime of running for president ? Miss me with this whole "both sides are the same" BS.
Putin had no need to knock him off, most probably a CIA job.
When he returned to Russia couple of days after getting out of the hospital and almost dying - and got arrested immediately - I distinctly remember thinking: this man is either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid. He was probably a bit of both, a real antidote to Putin - against everything that Putin is. Then I thought - he’s probably incredibly clever, too - because he knows that people will rally behind him - and that if he does indeed die, it will cause uprising and protests all around Russia, maybe a new era - or at least its precursors. That was then. THIS IS NOW. Now he is indeed dead. He did live out his ultimate sacrifice - through strength, bravery and constant fighting against the thief and rat that is Putin. WHAT WILL IT GIVE? What has Navalny done - what has he achieved - by returning from Germany (where ha was safe, relatively) - to his motherland? Will this ultimate sacrifice mean anything? NO. Someone somewhere will write a nice poem. Maybe a song. Maybe a book. Dedicate it to Navalny. The rat will keep on enjoying doing absolutely whatever he pleases both to his own nation - and to some of his neighbouring nations, too. There is no cure against the rat. At least not in the current Russia which is too afraid and too comfortable sinking in their own garbage.
In the doc of him when he decides to return to Russia it felt sad, devastating and hopeless. It also seemed his whole family where just there to say goodby for forever. I get the idea of martyr as some sort of protection, but no. This is how he decided to walk to his death.
"Who else in Putin's Russia has any hope at all if standing against the Czar?" Bluntly and brilliantly put, because it drives home the distinction between Putin's vision and the interpretation by many of Putin's vision for Russia. Many believe he wishes to restore the Soviet Union, and this is simply not the case. As he himself has put it on more than one occasion, it is the Russian Empire before it that he wants to bring back.
Heartbreaking death. I hope to live to witness the murderer putin join stalin. I do hope Alexei's body is released to his family. My condolences to the Navalny family.
Greetings from Moscow. Great and truthful video, good job Simon.
r.i.p Alexey.
I can remember when my Russian friend told me how excited Russians were when Putin became their leader. Within 5 years, he told me Russians realised what a mistake they had made. His parents and grandparents told Russia was returning to the "bad days." He, his father, and grandfather were supporters of Navalny. His father was one of Navalny's close allys, and my friend worked for a well-known Russian newspaper as a reporter, writing and publishing many articles about Navalny, and they soon became targets. As a result, he and his parents left Russia and now live in Australia for their own safety (both his grandparents have passed away of natural causes). But he and his parents are still looking over their shoulders, and he tries not to contact me too much because he doesn't want me to become a target as well. That is just how scared they are of what Putin in capable of doing.
Well Putin is Ex-KGB
Of the thousands of way he makes Putin look like a cartoon-child villain by comparison, nowhere on earth is there a painting of Navalny shirtless riding a bear. Not nearly the total testament of his life but more than enough to surpass Dr Evil.
Navalny was such a patriot he was taking payments from Washington revealed by Wikileaks....what a traitor to his own people, i guess thats why he was polling at 3 percent popularity😂 but as long as you believe in yr small little brain washed media 💩world that he was a hero😂

Dude was paid opposition and literally Nazi supporter. Inform yourself before you put him in same sentence with Mandela
I really hope Vladimir the Underwear Poisoner catches on. Its what Putin fears the most, a legacy in tatters.
No Putin will be remembered for fighting against western expansion in the sacred historical lands of Russia

Cool shopping carts don't make up for an exKGB with no moral compass.

Yeah those things can still be true, but doesnt mean Putin's a good person. He never said he was
Thanks Simon and team, I have never been into wars however this channel has got me hooked!
I don't think your assessment of Navalny's mayoral election attempt is entirely fair. He essentially ran a grass roots campaign with 0 resources from the government side. No access to TV channels, funded entirely by donations from his supporters (back then no one did this, it's now the norm for opposition politicians and journalists). He ran a proper political campaign, meeting the people, being active online, debating, etc. He went from a 5% approval rating before he ran the campaign to a 27% of all votes in the election. Sobyanin had all the support of the government, was on TV 24/7, was a well known figure (Navalny had to introduce his ideas to an older population that does not use the internet), and had unlimited campaign funds. He got 51% total votes. No one else that ran, mostly fairly established politicians from different parties, got close to 15% of votes. Sure, Navalny did not win. But, this was the moment that the Kremlin realized that he has real support and is becoming dangerous.
If Navalny had become mayor of Moscow, it would have been a disaster
@@СветСвет-у9ж proof?
Man, I rooted for Navalny more than I've rooted for most American presidents... Russia really is completely gone.

"What Does This Means"
Yes, comrade, what DOES this means? 🤨
Great overview of the life of a brave man. Thanks.
What happened to Navalny is what happens to us if we give power to dictators.
That guy had the biggest balls
The double standard and feigned outrage from the West regarding the death of Russian dissident Alexei Navalny is astonishing. While overlooking the torture of Julian Assange, an Australian citizen who exposed US war crimes, in a UK prison, and largely ignoring the death of Gonzalo Lira in Ukraine, these individuals hypocritically cast blame on Russia as a supposed murderous regime of injustice.
The thing about ruling through fear, is that it's incredibly short term and always leads to a more violent end than the entire oppression ever displayed. Ruling through fear is so temporary because sooner or later you will run out of threats. Sooner or later the populous stops caring, cause why bother to obey when they will kill you anyway? There's a reason why the greatest empires lasted as long as they did. They avoided ruling through fear and preferred ruling through love. If your people love you, they are willing to do anything for you. If your people fear you, they will hate you and secretly plot against you, wishing you only death.
Ruling through fear is entirely capable of creating long lasting regimes.
You need to learn way more about history, man. But if you want a more recent example, I present to you:
North Korea
this is some kindergarten level of thought. and i see history wasnt your strong suit in school.
Thanks!
I believe Navalny's mistake was to not have a successor waiting in the wings to continue on his fight.
Some may see Putin's blustering at bumping him off as incompetence, I don't see it that way, Putin deliberately made an example out of him and very publicly. "This is what's going to happen to you if you step out of line."
"So don't you dare cross me or you'll meet his fate." Putin's done this to countless people, or at least attempted to over the years.
Ruling with an Iron fist, people being thrown in jail for holding up blank pieces of paper in public.
He's instilling fear amongst his own people, however the only people who feel the need to do that are people who are running scared themselves.
Putin is running Scared and he is using desperate tactics to keep people in line.
Navalny left it to Boris Nadezhdin, Boris is literally Putin's biggest threat
The sad thing here beyond the death of Navalny is that without a voice to rally around, not only is Putin's dictatorship even more likely to continue, but even when Putin eventually leaves office (one way or another) there still might not be someone to rally around. That means either a Putin successor takes over, or chaos. And what's it all for? Navalny for all of his issues was a true believer and a Russian Patriot who bravely returned to Russia even knowing what would happen. Putin OTOH, fled from Moscow when Prigozhin was on the march. What more is there to say about such a petty and cowardly man?
Well, if anyone is interested, Mark Galeotti is a British lecturer and historian on Russia, and he posted a video on his youtube channel about Navalny (the channel shares his name). It's worth a listen IMO, even though it didn't add any context. Though, his first video on Navalny talked about his arrival at Polar Wolf, and how he commented, "I am your new Santa Claus".
With no one left in Putin’s way everyone should be worried about who will take power after Putin. In his inner circle there are people far worse than him, and that’s saying something.
You have a wrong take on Navalny's mayoral campaign. He got quarter of the votes and it was an unprecedented success for Russian liberals. It was his performance in the campaign that established him as a leader of Russian opposition.
"A dead horse would have frozen to death" lol. RIP Navalny but that was funny
The greatest tragedy of Russian history is the way the government has always treated it's people. It's heartbreaking.
I will forever refer to Putin as Vladimir the underpants poisoner.
Excellent video Simon
Your skill as an orator make this channel so incredibly refreshing.
Amazing delivery on such complex topics, With seemingly limitless information. It's as though you have everything memorized and speak from that memory. The research and historical knowledge required to produce such lengthy videos on these topics in a short time is truly astonishing.
Can't love this channel enough.
Thanks for this - may he rest in peace.
God damn it man. People of Russia, what is it going to take? This man put himself DIRECTLY into the crucible for your future and your children’s future. How can his torture and death be allowed to go unanswered or unpunished. I’m American & so don’t pretend to fully comprehend the very intricate complexities of domestic politics within the Russian nation, but I know this much, he had passion. He loved his country and he loved his people. He sacrificed his life to expose the treachery which is preventing your people from taking your rightful place in the world. Hearing of his death makes me more sad and angry than I imagined I would be when this eventuality came to fruition. Do something!
The irony of being American and telling Russians to "do something!". We don't do what we want others to, fight the government
Bruh
How about you support Russian-paid political figure that would demand Americas fallback from global issues, removes all international military bases and focus on making American structure like EU’s?
That’s why we would never vote for Navalny, ever

@@mannimoneto3356If you love Putin, then you are an idiot. You don’t know any better. Educate yourself….
I know it’s beyond naive but I really thought he would get through this and get out of there alive somehow and come up on top. But even when I heard the news that he was moved there back in December I was afraid for him but I hoped I was wrong.
Thats not what his cia handlers wanted him to do. How can he cause a coup if he was sitting in Washington where his backers as revealed by Wikileaks resided?
"Dead horse would freeze to death in about 15 minutes." Is this a bad translation?

It is. The original verb he used was "промёрзла" which means something like "freeze through", "freeze to the core".

He's the definition of bravery. Knowingly going back to Russia pending his death.
I will forever remember him... I rarely cry, but i cried throughout that day ...
Equating ФБК and Navalny with whole Russian opposition is incorrect, that would be an extreme oversimplification. They are definetely the biggest fraction among it, but at the same time they aren’t the only center of power in it by far. There is Katz, Khodorkovsky, Kasparov, Yashin and many other names and organisations, and in fact FBK without Navalny is one of the least respected ones among it, because of how shady their current team is with Volkov and Pevchih, and because of how they were very intentionally refusing any attempts at consolidating those opposition forces for sake of keeping their personal clout and status. Navalnys death is a tragedy, but it is too early to write off the Russian opposition just yet.
Yeah, even if the people under Putin, and pro-Kremlin bots and supporters (esp. those in comments) would work hard to make sure he wont be remembered, his death would not be his last (as a martyr of the Russian opposition), unless... maybe pro-Ukrainian supporters would be next... It's now the third year since the special military operation, something has to go down (like some shock development?)...
The only suprise regarding this is that it happend now and that it took this long for it to happen.
Rather sad that this was the to be expected endresult.
The fact that I turned to your channels for real informations than news outlets proffs you are doing a great work. Please keep the good work
meeeeeeeeeh the writers often don't do any research and make shit up on the fly
Amazing episode. Thanks so much for these videos!
"A dead horse would freeze to death in about 15 minutes" ....what?!?!?! huh?!?! lol.
Incredible video. I give y’all a lot of kudos for including all aspects of his political identity. RIP Alexei Navalny. You will forever haunt the Russian bear.
Simon, a video idea for this channel would be "who takes over ehen Putin dies and could there be a Russian civil war?"
One day putin and his cheerleaders will be judged for their sins
That'll be whole Russia then.
People here either mocking guy's death or don't give a flying f¥ck.
@@ЕгорПещерский also the people who still view him as a Nazi, considering that in the past, he once participates in nationalist marches...
a russian nazi and a ukrainian nazi... out of hundreds of Nazi political parties and other right-wing parties across the world, which ones are the exception? I wonder.
Not that it mattered, he died fighting for what he believed in. Saving the Russian people from Putin who many in Russia (and even across the world) still adore....
@@ROBLOXGamingDavid
Not gonna buy it. That's shameful sham. Its "wife" declared she'll carry the day literary hours after. Think about the "merry widow" concept.
I am shooketh......it didn't happen earlier.
Honor to Navalny. He will be remembered when Putin will be a footnote in history. Putin now has a new reason to watch his back.
You just like a dude because he is against Putin. Navalny was a Nazi supporter. He was a paid opposition his whole life.
Rest in peace navalny. :(
This Russia is beyond help.
Well, there are examples when much more jingoistic societies overcame even worse dictatorships.
@@alexeyamosov664>> implying there's any jingoism
bruuuuh in usa everyone salutes the flag and knows anthem
in russia even politicians have no idea how the simple flag looks and no one knows anthem esp since it's soviet with new words
the words you want to use is apathy empowerished and that fake news term learned helplessnes
@@alexeyamosov664true. But no examples when such a huge country with such a strong regime with modern communication networks did this.
It's way easier to overthrow a government that has 10k police officers and when the whole country is in the same timezone.
Russia is spread across 11 timezones, making it very hard to synchronize protests, it has a gigantic number (0.3mil) of national guard (practically P's personal army with armored vehicles) personnel, a huge FSB network, a big regular police force, and some army reserves if really needed, all very centralized.
In 1917 government was very weak and divided, and it still took an extremely bloody civil war to overthrow.
@@penguin86bitals Putin, and those in power, have an iron grip on Russia. That said, you never know when something might instantly change. I don't think anyone saw Prigozhin taking an army and advancing toward Moscow either. That situation was so close to exploding into something larger. He took control of the 10th largest city in Russia in less then 24 hours. People often forget that crows of people cheered Prigozhin as his military column made their way to Moscow. People went out in droves to get pictures with him and shake his hand. We also see sparks of resistance in places like Dagestan where the FSB were run out of a town when trying to quell a riot. Russia is being held together with an iron grip, if that grip loosens or something happens to where the federal government losses authority, I would not be shocked to see serious infighting begin.
I'm glad you covered his controversial history. Too often, martyrdom sweeps such details under the rug and it does a massive disservice to historical integrity. I really didn't like him as a person due to this history (though it's possible he changed, shame this couldn't be seen though), but I really do respect him for the movement he created, however futile it may seem now.
During his campaign against Putin, I believe he said that should change occur, he wouldn't be the leader, which if true, I would also respect.
The fact you had that video ready to fire and upload once it happened is morbid AF and shows the gravity of the tragedy...
Navalny's better half was Ukrainian. His distant uncle was executed at the start of the invasion in Bucha just for sharing the same last name.
Democracy cannot exist without the government being held accountable for its actions. With this requirement stated, Russia is not, and may never become a Democracy.
I absolutely refuse to believe that there isn't a way some brave person can rise up and succeed Navalny. No way in hell can Putin, this weak, spindly, pathetic little man, be that strong. I have to believe that out there is a person who can push the regime change over the line.
Yes! Been waiting for this!
The paid shill show is here. Oh what fun...
Alexei Navalny was Russia’s version of Martin Luther King who stand up the right’s for the people of his country against the Putin regime and I respect him for that, The spirit of Alexei Navalny will live on among his family and future of the People of Russia 🇷🇺 and among future Russian opposition leaders who will try to stand up the rights of freedom against a tyrannical of a dictatorship
Не смешно.
@@СветСвет-у9ж I don’t understand that because I don’t speak Russian
Great background!
The existence of international news, of alternative information channels gives me hope for a future without tyranny.
Simon is about to go missing lol....I didn't hear one "allegedly" 😂
May he rest in peace and know that his name will never be forgotten. 🙏
Martyrs never die ☆☆☆
What martyr dude was right wing Nazi supporter. What was wrong with you people. U literally doesn't know anything about this theme and you still say things like this
Don't waste your time trying to convince fools. Also, Vladimir Vladimirovich said correctly: you cannot defeat American propaganda.
Thank you for this one. I am so beyond livid over what happened to him.
A sad moment for all those who seek freedom across the world.
Navalny's death will surely anger so many Russians and eventually, someone greater than Navalny will rise, or is it?
Also I'm glad that you didn't portray Navalny as a saint.
How much butter does it take to become a saint?
