‘Dead Man Flying’: Prigozhin Latest Putin-Crosser To Meet Ignominious End

It was painfully plain that after his failed rebellion, Prigozhin was a dead man flying.

That growing list includes Boris Nemtsov, the Russian physicist, politician, and critic of Putin who was assassinated in 2015, and Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader who remains in prison after Putin allegedly orchestrated his poisoning in 2020.

I dag är det tre år sedan Putin försökte mörda Aleksej Navalnyj med nervgift i kalsongerna. Han är dock fortfarande vid liv. Häromveckan kom han med ett omfattande politiskt traktat.

Very good episode of In Moscow's Shadows podcast, about Navalny's latest:

In Moscow's Shadows 110: Why #Navalny Doesn't Hate The Goat
The indomitable Alexei Navalny has just produced a broadside against the 'reformists' of the '90s, whom he considers nothing of the sort, but instead the architects of kleptocracy and authoritarianism. And it's hard to disagree with him on that. Really his manifesto

This text by Navalny is causing some controversy in the Russian opposition. He writes about why he hates Yeltsin for what he did and didn't do when there was a chance for democracy, but also criticizes opposition politicians and independent(?) journalists like Venediktov. It has even been suggested that it's not his own text, but after reading the Russian version in fairly sure it is. The question is whether this is constructive at the moment, or at all.

Prosegue la persecuzione del regime di #Putin contro #Navalny, condannato a 19 anni di reclusione in un processo tutto politico.
L’#UnioneEuropea è al fianco della società civile russa che lotta per la propria #libertà e non rimarrà in silenzio davanti a questo ennesimo sopruso.

Navalny's legal repression trajectory over the past 10yrs--from a suspended sentence on politicized, but not outlandish fraud charges to today's grotesque 19yr sentence for extremism--illustrates less Navalny's growing threat to #Putin and more the regime's descent into totalitarianism.

Russian prosecutors seek 20 more years in prison for Navalny

"The power Trump would exercise over all his enemies if given the opportunity"
just sayin

Putin’s most prominent opponent faces new charges, which he says are fabricated to keep him out of political life.

Russia’s state prosecutors have requested a 20-year prison sentence for jailed opposition leader Alexey Navalny on charges including “extremism”

#Russian prosecutors have requested a 20-year prison #sentence for jailed #Kremlin critic Alexei #Navalny on a new string of “extremism” charges, his team says. He has been charged with creating 'an extremist community and an organisation that infringes on the rights of citizens; making calls to extremism; involving minors in dangerous acts and the rehabilitation of Nazism.'

The jailed opposition politician denies the charges as “absurd” and politically motivated.
