I get that real actual nazis are horrible and need to be put down, but I feel like you're exaggerating both the severity of Navalny's political positions and downplaying Verkhovsky's position by quite a bit.

He called Muslims cockroaches and performed a commercial shooting a man in brownface wearing a cockroach costume with a gun. I don't know what can convince you how much of a depraved and fucked up man he is. I don't know if this link is going to work but here's footage of him being interviewed at a nazi march. it'll probably try to get you to download the video.

I do not know how you can sit here and try to convince me that this is a good man worth mourning. He was a sick man.

Edit: also here's the cockroach video, actually up on YouTube still https://youtu.be/hT0tCSaWZ9Q?si=h0jC4oe4XiT4yZ_B
