A little reminder of who this fascist CIA asset was: he regularly participated in neo-nazi marches, advocated to strip non-ethnic Russians of their Russian citizenship, and called muslim Chechens "cockroaches".
It was so bad that even western media was forced to report on it. In 2021, a BBC article reported even Amnesty International was forced to strip Navalny’s “prisoner of conscience” status for the violence and hate he unremorsefully promoted https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56181084
That same month, US government-funded Radio Free Europe likewise was forced to concede Navalny’s extremist background https://www.rferl.org/a/navalny-failure-to-renounce-nationalist-past-support/31122014.html
And now BBC is spamming articles about "opposition leader dying in arctic prison"
They do love their nazis.
If he had really conquered power libs would have been like "oh no how could this happen, no one could've ever forseen that he would be even worse than Putin 😭"
If he had opened Russian markets to exploitation by Wall Street they wouldn't have cared.
Western libs still look back fondly on the Yeltsin years...
We have pretty conclusive proof they were trying to make him into the Russian Guaido. There's a clip going around from 2013 claimed to be either Navalny himself or the director of his "anti-corruption" fund (either way makes no difference) that shows them asking a British MI6 agent for 10-20 million dollars in order to plan, in their own words "mass protests, civil initiatives, propaganda, establishing contacts with elites".
My bet is that the West decided now that he was going to serve a decades long sentence for numerous crimes he was no longer worth anything as an asset and they burned him. They did it at an opportune enough moment to create distraction from unfavorable developments and try to use this along with the fearmongering story they ran about Russian space nukes to get the US Congress to give them the money for more weapons to Ukraine.
