The only thing the Western media portrayed him as was as an opponent of Putin. His nationalist tendencies were unknown to Western libs.
As so was his irrelevancy in the general landscape of Russian politics.
Never fails to take me out when I hear know-nothing burgers talking about "if there were an election he'd have beat putler 2:1" and I'm just fighting the urge to start smirking like "oh, so the same margins that clinton was supposed to beat trump by right?"
Wonders of fake news. I had to explain to my gf today that he was in fact not the only opposition to Putin.
