    He’s absolutely not Vladimir Putin but let’s not hail him as this shining beacon of truth just because he’s a martyr. He was still a Russia first nationalist that supported the Russians during the Russo-Georgian war and was vocally supportive of the annexation of Crimea. He even made a youtube video where he played a pest control specialist and explains how to rid themselves of immigrants while comparing them to fleas and cockroaches. In the video he is attacked by a figure presumed to be one of the muslim immigrants he is calling to be exterminated and shoots them twice in the chest.

        I understand that better needs to not be the enemy of perfect, but I don’t want people to think that Navalny was going to be some savior of Russia like they seem to. He was just an island of semi-sanity in an ocean of diarrhea.

      Go fuck yourself. This is not the right time to have this argument.

      But, just to entertain your sick idea of tarnishing dead person’s name, please take a closer look at who was displayed in that video as what you thought were “immigrants”, then educate yourself on the history of chechen war, beslan school siege and the story of shamil basayev. You can delete your comment later when you realize how ashamed of yourself you should be.

      It’s not “muslim immigrant”. It’s Shamil Basayev, a former Ichkerian guerilla fighter (which short existence was fueled largely by kidnappings and slave trade), who later turned terrorist and is directly responsible for numerous bombings and hostage crisises.
