I’ll never understand why he intentionally let himself be captured by Russia. The outcome was inevitable.
He is so notorious because he was willing to selflessly put himself in the frontline to prove a point.
Martyrdom. Navalny knew what it would mean to return; he also knew the risk of not returning (constantly trying to avoid shitty assassination attempts with collateral damage).
The only thing not making sense is how you’re not understanding the concept.
A regime like Putin’s is stable until it suddenly is not. Russia has a lot of dark times ahead of it.
Russians honestly are mostly waiting for those times; chaos is frightening, but stable decline into a dystopia is even worse.
Besides, keeping on with “stable” regime means losing many, many lives; possibly way more than a radical change can entail. But that depends on who and how comes to power.
That would depend on your next president. Personally from an outsider view I hope it’s not trump again.
Hopefully he disappeared because someone thinks he might make for a good replacement of someone in the future, but more likely they finally tortured him to death and destroyed his body so he can’t become a martyr.
Be careful what you wish for, he’s more hard line than Putin. War in Ukraine? He thinks Russia isn’t sending enough troops, and he wants all of Ukraine. Way worse for LGBTQ+ rights than Putin, and that’s not easy to do. He almost makes Putin look like a human rights activist.
Lame.
The catholics would have sentenced his corpse.
Any possibillity this could be the final spark before the powder keg detonates?
Sorry internet friend 😢 Do you live there or are you referring more to it like I am?
