As reported exclusively by russian sources at the moment, he lost consciousness after a walking hour and prison medics were unsuccessful in reanimating him, as per sources in УФСИН (government body regulating prisons and punishment). He was 47 years old at that time. The last time he was heard of he was moved from Moscow-based prison into the IK-3 named Polar Wolf, a penal colony located in a permafrost region near the town of Harp, where he found his end.

No other sources commented on that by now. At that time, there’s no independent proof of that or other explanations but the one given by prison authorities.

A fitting reminder is that presidential elections are to be held in 15-17 of March, meaning it happened exactly one month prior to them.

        Navalny was a buttjoke in Russian politics. The only time he gained (some) relevance is when Western media was propping him as Putin’s “liberal” rival.

        There’s nothing to deflect here. Anybody who has a clue about Russian politics would know that there is zero reason to kill Navalny given that he had no actual support in Russia and was already in jail. One has to be an utter ignoramus to genuinely believe that he posed some sort of a threat to Putin. However, what’s far more interesting is why westerners have such fervent support for a white supremacist and a right wing nationalist. Although given what the west is supporting in Gaza currently, maybe it’s not such a hard question to answer.

            Nope, that’s just a straw man you’re using. Nowhere did I say anything about murdering anybody. However, I’d love to know how you know he was murdered. The fact that you made up a claim and then accuse me of something I didn’t say says all I need to know about you.

              Your own source above states that he was the victim of a nerve agent attack. Are you going to claim that was just a coincidence or lying western media now? Do you honestly think anyone takes your comments seriously?

                The only person who shouldn’t be taken seriously is the one who thinks FSB couldn’t have killed Navalny if they actually wanted to.

                  So the source you just used as evidence to prove your argument is now untrustworthy because it contradicts you? How convenient.

                  Also a bit hilarious that you’re arguing that the FSB are such seasoned assassins that they always get their man while trying to claim that Russia wouldn’t try to assassinate someone.

                    Imagine not being able to understand the difference between capability and intent. We have a serious intellect on our hands here.

                Yeah sure, FSB is so incompetent that they couldn’t figure out how to assassinate him in a state hospital and then for some reason let him go to Germany. Russians are the most incompetent assassins on the planet apparently. Meanwhile, he was 47 and had known health issues, so yeah it’s not at all unlikely your fascist friend died of a stroke or some shit.

                  Considering how badly they’re getting slapped by a nation they dwarf, that’s a safe bet.

                  for some reason let him go to Germany

                  Like loads of Russian targets which were assassinated in European soil before, you mean?
