  • Maybe Putin killed him, maybe he didn't. But wasn't he in jail for 2 years? Why wait so long for a hit?

    • It's not just the ~300 days in prison. It's not like it was hard to kill him at any point prior. Not to mention the dumb fuck did more to die himself with that "poisoning"(probably an OD).

      Honestly, I don't see a single reason why Putin would do it. The situation was perfect for him as it was - Navalny was largely forgotten and had no bearing on anything. If anything, he won't appreciate a minor shitstorm on the Internet a month before the elections.

      But hey, "great" people can't just die of health issues, it's always someone!

    • I believe he had issues throughout his captivity. Sickness, hunger strike, that kind of stuff. I don't think he got a five star hotel treatment either and eventually your health becomes a severe risk. Or maybe Putin just killed him.

  • All of the most popular subreddits are talking about Navalny's death as if he was some kind of hero. It is impressive how propaganda can PR this dude's image into a fantastical hero/human that liberals can look up to. Truly disgusting how libs fall for this

  • What a coincidence, just yesterday I saw some idiots in comments on r*ddit mentioning him, which was also posted here and just today we get yet another gender-neutral bathroom in Russia!

  • He just died? Wow. I didn’t know that. You are telling me now for the first time. He led an amazing life. What else can you say. Whether you agreed or not, he was an amazing man who led an amazing life. I am actually sad to hear that. I am sad to hear that.
