Didn't think there were a lot of windows in Russian prisons that you could 'fall out of'.

Navalny was a racist and ethno-nationalist. He was no Russian saviour. All he would have been was a new tsar, an anti-corruption one. No tears.

Opposing murder as a state tool isn't 'tears' or regarding those murdered as saviours.

True. I just don't like the way he's often idolised by many as true opposition.

Fair enough. I don't think many think of his positions beyond 'opposed to Putin' and 'dead by Putin'

Does this obsession with Navalny tell us something about the government and media attitude to the war in Donbas? They likewise seem obsessed with Ukraine winning, still pedalling the idea that Russia is planning to attack Europe and that we will all be conscripted.

Does your post tell us anything about how you adore Putin?

He's a cold-blooded murderer, the sooner you accept the fact the better.

So many windows so many opportunities.

Do you dress up in the outfit and wave your pom poms when you decide to cheerlead for state murder?

So Elon Musk why have you suspended Yulia Navalnaya from X (Twitter):

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/x-twitter-bans-alexei-navalny-s-widow-yulia-navalnaya-for-breaking-its-rules/ar-BB1izRo0

She must have done something really bad considering the amount of threats of violence and the general level of fuckwittery that is allowed on that platform.

Or is Musk's friend Vladimir behind this?
