Not that I support it but does anyone know why Putin doesn’t just have this guy killed? Putin has lots of people killed and I feel like I’ve been hearing about this guys imprisonment for years. It’s surprising he’s kept alive in prison indefinitely rather than added to the pile. Is the fear it would trigger a bigger movement / martyr him?
Why martyr him when you can slowly turn him into Emmanuel Goldstein?
In addition to Putin not wanting to turn him into a martyr, keeping him around as an opposition candidate allows Putin to maintain a facade of democratic legitimacy. The people have another viable option besides Putin, even if it’s just the illusion of free choice.
He probably didn’t read the Evil Overlord list.
He’s afraid he’ll be martyred. Don’t forget, Navalny returned to Russia willingly right after releasing a documentary on Putins secret mansion. It was allegedly to put Putin in the awkward position of choosing between keeping an opponent with popular support alive, and killing him and potentially motivating the masses. Locking him away somewhere distant and keeping him there until he’s forgotten about is probably the best way to get rid of him. I’m pretty sure most Russians know that the legal system is a farce.
For the crime of continuing to exist, no doubt
this guy is a nazi who calls muslims cockroaches
a punishment cell in an Arctic prison colony
Why not just write “Siberian gulag” like a normal person?
Gulag is a labor camp, we don’t know for sure this is a labor camp, it might just be solitary confident and torture.
