Putin might as well just say the quiet part out loud at this point. Classic sociopath dictator, gotta pretend blood isn’t on his hands.
Rest in peace Navalny. You and your people deserve better than this.
Part of the strategy of a terror state, is to have people fill in the blanks themselves. That way they can never know whether “let’s have some tea”, “let’s go for a walk”, or “have you looked out the window” are actual death threats or not, keeping everyone in a constant state of paranoia, that makes them try extra hard to not displease the dictator.
Sounds about right. RIP I hope your name is remembered for the changes you tried to bring to your people.
„has been killed“ would be the proper wording
Reminds me of the time when Saudi Arabia murdered Jamal Khashoggi.

Russia’s most significant opposition leader for the past decade, Alexei Navalny, has died in prison inside the Arctic Circle, the prison service said.
Seen as President Vladimir Putin’s most vociferous critic, Navalny was serving a 19-year jail term for offences widely considered politically motivated.
He was moved to an Arctic penal colony, considered one of the toughest jails, late last year.
The prison service in the Yamalo-Nenets district said he had “felt unwell” after a walk on Friday.
Navalny’s lawyer Leonid Solovyov told Russian media he would not be commenting yet.
