The Kremlin makes it bad, Russians are generally decent people.

If they would be decent people, they wouldn't always choose dictatorship since at least a century.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A lawyer for Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died in prison this month, has reportedly been arrested in Moscow.

Following Navalny's death, Mr Dubkov accompanied his mother to the Arctic prison colony where he died on 16 February.

In October 2023, other lawyers for Navalny - Vadim Kobzev, Igor Sergunin, and Aleksei Lipster - were arrested on charges of "extremism".

In January, Olga Mikhailova, another lawyer for the opposition leader, said she had been charged with the same crime and decided to remain in exile.

His mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, travelled to the remote "Polar Wolf" jail where he died to retrieve his body, accompanied by Mr Dubkov.

However, Navalny's press secretary, Kira Yarmysh, said on Tuesday that most funeral locations they had contacted had refused to allow a ceremony on their premises.

The original article contains 275 words, the summary contains 133 words. Saved 52%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Soon enough you’ll be arrested for knowing Navalny or going to school with him 40 years ago. How crippling to have such a fragile ego smdh…

oh, what a surprise! I would have never guessed that!

How anyone who had anything to do with Navalny hasn't fully left Russia I'll never understand.
