Party elders were alarmed by his push for a more nationalist message. Defiantly, he recorded a pro-gun rights video in which he compared people from Russia’s mostly Muslim North Caucasus to “cockroaches” and mimicked shooting one with a pistol.
Racist fuck.

He regularly participated in neo-nazi marches, advocated to strip non-ethnic Russians of their Russian citizenship, and called muslim Chechens cockroaches. Anyone advocating for him as a "lesser evil" wants full-blown nazism.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russia's most significant opposition leader for the past decade, Alexei Navalny, has died in prison inside the Arctic Circle, the prison service said.
Seen as President Vladimir Putin's most vociferous critic, Navalny was serving a 19-year jail term for offences widely considered politically motivated.
He was moved to an Arctic penal colony, considered one of the toughest jails, late last year.
The prison service in the Yamalo-Nenets district said he had "felt unwell" after a walk on Friday.
The causes of his death were being established, Tass news agency reported.
This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.

Rest in peace Alexia
you misspelled piss there bud
He also misspelled Navalny's name, as OP also did (but the article didn't), which is even more funny since it shows how much they do know about him and are just joining the yapping chorus of western propaganda.
😄
Why do you say that? Or am I speaking to mr Putin?
I said that because Navalny is a fascist scumbag and a white supremacist. If that's the sort of people you support then you really need to check your morals.
Oh right, this instance's hot takes are going to be complete nonsense. 'The tortured opposition leader wasn't perfect, you guys!' No kidding. He still gets partial credit for sticking his neck out against a dictator-for-life who routinely murders opposition leaders. Everyone you'd prefer is already fucking dead.
libs 🤝 fascists
But telling you where to shove it would be uncivil.
The funniest thing I've seen on Lemmy was someone insisting socialism is pragmatic and liberals are idealists, because it comes to mind every single god-dang time one of y'all shits all over opposition to outright dictatorship. So long as the dictator is from a country you insist was actually state-capitalist - the real evil is anyone fighting brutal profiteering autocracy, unless they're ideologically pure.
Navalny is a literal racist and far right nationalist. Even western mainstream media was forced to admit this.
In 2021, a BBC article reported even Amnesty International was forced to strip Navalny’s “prisoner of conscience” status for the violence and hate he unremorsefully promoted https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56181084
That same month, US government-funded Radio Free Europe likewise was forced to concede Navalny’s extremist background https://www.rferl.org/a/navalny-failure-to-renounce-nationalist-past-support/31122014.html
The fact that people like you champion him as some OpPosItiOn to a DicTatoRshiP, shows just how utterly morally bankrupt you lot are.
