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 so sad for the world. RIP

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

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.
