    This is a sign how powerful Navalny still is in Putin’s imagination even from his prison cell. Everything seems done for Putin’s victory in the upcoming election in March, all opposition eliminated, but he still fears the ‘dissident’ so much to locate him at the edge of the Arctic Circle.

      And he knows he can’t kill him and make him a martyr. Incredibly brave of Navalny to return to Russia like he did. A real Russian leader.

    Wouldn’t surprise me if they created this news cycle intentionally to make the point. Upcoming ‘election’ and all.

    Surprised they kept him alive. Although this is the Moscow times so I honestly would not be surprised if he’s not even alive.

      “You not believe Moscow Times? You free to go check, they have room for you…” /s

      But seriously, I don’t even fully believe that Prigozhin is dead. The last trustworthy news I’ve heard from Russia, is from that one guy in Moscow complaining about how “rude” it is for Ukraine to launch drone attacks at night.

      The Moscow Times is actually now headquartered in Amsterdam and has been banned in Russia. I wouldn’t exactly consider it to have a pro-Russian bias.
