Navalny wasn't a threat, the KPRF is the second largest party and actually wishes to re-establish socialism. Navalny wanted to sell out to the west, which was genuinely deeply unpopular. Ukraine, since 2014, has been governed by Banderites that caused Donetsk and Luhansk to secede and vote to join the Russian Federation.
In fact, Navalny is himself a fascist whose party never had more than 5% support in Russia https://archive.org/details/VideoAlexeiNavalnyComparesMuslimsToCockroaches
and even Ukrainians say that he died of natural causes https://www.kyivpost.com/post/28630
Yep, exactly. He was deeply unpopular to begin with. Even if United Russia poisoned him, the people still wouldn't have supported him to begin with.
yeah pretty much
I see. If Navalny was such an unpopular non-threat, why did the FSB poison him? The purpose of the FSB is to protect Russia's ruling regime, right? So presumably they poisoned Navalny to protect the regime.
Why is it that Russian authorities can't even tolerate a mural of Navalny? See picture:
Ukraine since 2014 has been governed by elected governments. Unlike Russia, which has been governed by a regime which prevents genuine elections from taking place.
It's likely that you already know that armed separatists in those regions, with assistance from Russia, seized land and government buildings. Then they held sham "referendums" to try and make their armed seizure appear democratic.
As yogthos pointed out, Navalny was a fascist, comparing Muslims to cockroaches, and whose party never had more than 5% support. I would hope that murals of fascists would be taken down, and your claims of "supporting democracy" seem to in reality be a cover for supporting fascists.
Regarding Ukraine, since the Banderite coup in 2014, it has been governed by far-right nationalists that work closely with Neo-Nazis like Azov. This is what caused Donetsk and Luhansk to secede, and is why they voted to join the Russian Federation, rather than remain under the thumb of Kiev's new regime. The armed seperatists are popularly supported, and kicked out the Kiev-backed governments.
