    Did they actually move him to the North Pole or are they having fun with the word “Arctic”?

      The new place they moved him to is north of the Arctic Circle so it’s accurate.

      I don’t get it. You’re a socialist, sure, and the USSR was socialist, but you think they’re socialist now? You think that Putin is a socialist. Poor fool.

        Navalny is a racist son of a removed, doesn’t deserve anyone’s pity. Of all the people who hate Putin, liberals really support the worst one

          It doesn’t seem like you read my comment. Did I say I supported Navalny? No, I called you a retard if you, a presumed socialist, support Putin, a capitalist dictator.

      technically true actually as putin does make the laws, so in his eyes it’s criminal to run against him

      Putin’s immensely popular both domestically and in the Global South. Navalny is popular in the West and in some parts of Russia.

      With the rise of the Global South, my money is on Putin keeping it together.

        Saying that Navalny is popular in some parts of Russia is greatly overstating things.

        domestic numbers spoofed, when anti-putin riots occur frequently and are brutallt supressed it’s hard to say it’s ‘immense’

              Not OP. Born and live here. Can’t say about the ‘Global South’ thing, but he’s far from loosing even legit elections, too much apathy, and if something, people around me of all walks of life only want to be left alone. Living standards decreased, prices increased, but locals still manage their day2day life. Still something to lose, still a will to ignore, and a general mindset of them political things being too big for us little men.

      I think Putin. I mean, killing Navalny or keeping him in that place is basically the same effort and risk for the Kremlin. Maybe is safer to leave him there, tbh

    I’m guessing westerners are so obsessed with Navalny because of their shared values. What the west is currently doing in Gaza is probably the only thing that keeps him going in these tough times.
