Navalny died of living in Russia, the second most common form of death in Russia. The most common cause of death is participating in a special military operation.

I am Russian and I don't agree with your assessment of the situation. Yes, everyone understands the risks, but people get accustomed to current reality and we grew accustomed to war and repressions. We have stopped being scared by army discreditation laws, being called foreign agents or extremists. Then Nedezhdin's campaign happened, which helped him gather significant support (around 10%, which is a lot for a country like Russia). People have shown that they are tired of being scared and they want change. Putin has decided to remind everyone that he is a ruthless killer, that there is no hope for change. Navalny's death had a very demoralizing impact on Russian opposition, I am not sure that we will be able to bounce back. Julia Navalny might be the person who can see it through. I hope and believe. Russia will be free.

Can't help but think of the harsh conditions Wynne endured until his release (Penkobsky was executed), and how bad Navalny had it with all the attempted poisonings, improsonments, and kangaroo trials.

The new thing is the lack of a systemic "liberal" candidate designed to have their ~2% (like Sobchak in 2018 and like Nadezhdin was supposed to be in 2022 until he went off the rails and Kremlin pulled the plug) to demoralize the oppositional electorate and an overall lack of candidates - usually it was around 7 peeps (that's why some dubbed the candidate list snow white and seven dwarves. now it's four i guess)

I usually love your videos and the analysis they bring but feel little to nothing was said here. Examples and hypotheticals would have gone a long way to separate yourself from mainstream reports. The sarcastic open followed by only vague allusions doesn't quite cut it for your usual standard of insight. I'm trying to give good faith critisism as you're one of my favourites. This just wasn't great and there's better analysis and challenging discuasion in the comment section which should almost never happen :p

Not sure I buy into the reasoning here. The Putin regime has done plenty of timing blunders and disjointed actions that hamper it. It's not a unified moloch with one will. It's quite possible that a Putin loyalist had Navalny murdered to send a message at the same time Putin himself found it horrible timing.

The timing of Navalny's death, as explained by his team in their youtube videos on the topic, was a consequence of prisoner exchange negotiations. The idea is that Navalny's death removed his release as an option in the negotiations.

good reporting...

From the start the whole navalny thing felt less like a direct order from Putin and more like a prison guard assigned to do Navalnys daily beating going a bit overboard to me. I think the Kremlin was content in just letting him continue to become more and more obscure and forgotten

No lines on maps this time?

Me and a lot of others here probably would say Avdiivka is the bigger impact on war, but we don't actually know that. This media coverage that you highlighted and I too find hard to understand is something that many people will understand without context: an underdog getting bullied by evil dictator. Ideas are powerful and most people don't do well with facts, it is through these kinds of personal stories they can understand what others who paid attention have known for long. It can also propel to action though we can't count on any, just have to see how things go.

Navalny's existence was tolerated for a decade. Boris Nemtsov - a true visionary and liberal force, was gunned down by the Kremlin in 2015. That's something most people outside of Ukraine likes to ignore. Nemtsov was the guy Navalny thinks he was. The latter didn't come anywhere close. Most favorable thing I can say of Navalny is that he's the enemy of my enemy.

I am sorry, but it is not that important what Ukranians think about Russian politicians. Navalny is orders of magnitude more popular than Nemtsov. Navalny is the only one who won elections against Putin and his party (see 2013, 2019, 2021). You probably think that about Navalny because of his rhetoric about Crimea, and you are completely entitled to that opinion, but people in Russia, even liberals, do not agree with you on Crimea.

I wonder if there was a strategy to that, create plausible deniability by targeting people who aren't at the top of everyone's sight? I mean realistically nobody cares about Berezovsky, not a single tear was shed - and yet he was killed. Not many people cared about Politkovskaya before she died, unfortunately, like people knew about her, but just about on the periphery of their minds. Nemtsov was a fixture in politics and a very sharp mind, but Navalny was the louder and much more visible one since 2011. So i wonder whether they deemed Navalny potentially somehow useful, or too dangerous to draw attention to him by removing him.

Fine. I’ll buy your book, you’ve worn me down

Hi, maybe someone here can help me out. I was trying to look into people falling out of a window. Because as someone who worked in all sorts of hospital sections, E.R., I.C.U. surgery, anything, where you might end up after falling out of a window, and as someone who spend 34 years with... well... being alive, I never, not even once, encountered someone who accidentally fell out of a window. Some who did it on purpose, yes. But no accidents. My room mate told me, that she knows a guy who fell from a balcony while drunk, that's all. So with that in my mind, I did some research. I wanted to find and compare some numbers from russia with numbers from the west/or anywhere outside russia. I could approximate the russian numbers, by adding up "news" articles (RT for example) but I didn't find ANY numbers for Germany, the UK, the US, the EU, France, Australia you name it... There are numbers from the US about small children, but that's not relevant. I want cases of adults, heathy and non intoxicated, falling out of their window. Just like russia portraits it. But I just can't find them. And I start to think that all this means, that it happens so infrequent, that we don't even bother keeping book. Either that or I just can't find the studies. But I don't even found stats on drunk people or balcony's. I tried it in German and English, to no avail. So if someone has some data on this, I'd love it if you could leave a link in the comments. Otherwise I'm left with the question, that's already burning in my head. Why the hell, if you'd fake accidents, would you invent one, that doesn't happen in the real world, instead of one of the million things that kill people every day, every where? People slip in their shower all the time. (tbf, you'd need running water for that)... I just don't get it. Which brings me to the next point, but maybe I'm just lost in translation here, isn't "sudden death syndrome" that thing that just happens to baby's?

Reminds me of Nicolas 2. There was brusilov offensive in 1916. It was a success on the surface, but underneath a it was a complete disaster for russian army morale. War was going for 2 years. Unfathomable death toll. Static Frontline. Economy finally started to go down. All of that reminds me of today situation. After 6 months of brusilov offensive Nicholas 2 was overthrown. Another 8 and russia fell into catastrophic civil war. Something tells me if this clown ( Putin) gets quietly reelected he will doom himself and Russia to an abyss.

This analysis regarding the timeing assumes, that the election is the most dangerous thing for the Putin regime in the next months. Assuming the death was intentional and acknowledging the timeing was suboptimal for the election, then the question is: what other upcoming event could threaten regime stability? One possible answer from my point of view would be an upcoming large scale mobilization. In this case it might be convenient to get rid of a possible figure head for protests well ahead of time.

I suspect that he accidentally died during one of his regularly scheduled torture sessions. Im sure they were supposed to take him up to the edge of de@+h, not all the way.
