FP: The Kremlin's plans did not include the murder of Navalny

18

Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny was hospitalized in one of the Omsk hospitals - during the flight from Tomsk to Moscow he felt unwell, and after an emergency plane landing in Omsk he was taken to the hospital. Given Navalny's dislike for United Russia and for Putin personally, there is a great temptation to accuse the Kremlin of poisoning a political opponent. However, Foreign Policy experts believe that such an action was not planned in Putin's circle.

While Navalny has long annoyed the authorities by organizing massive street protests and anti-corruption exposures of senior government officials, including former Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, experts are skeptical that Putin is personally interested in eliminating him.



I do not believe in that. Several years ago I was told that the Kremlin's murder of Navalny is viewed as a kind of nightmare scenario and a dangerous provocation that will cause widespread discontent in society.

- expressed political analyst Tatiana Stanovaya in her telegram channel.

Now Putin is all the more not beneficial to the murder of an oppositionist, the president is not up to it now - the authorities are torn between the reaction to the possibility of a second wave of coronavirus, the escalation of the political crisis in neighboring Belarus and the riots in Khabarovsk.

A week before his illness, Navalny traveled to the Siberian cities of Tomsk and Novosibirsk to show support for local opposition candidates ahead of next month's city council elections. Local news Tayga.info reported that he could also collect materials to investigate the activities of regional politicians from Putin's United Russia party.

That is, if Navalny was poisoned, then the Kremlin is not necessarily to blame. Despite the strong centralization of power under Putin, the system is not devoid of those who seek to settle personal scores, protect their economic interests or curry favor with the president. A striking example is Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, who is accused of organizing the assassinations of Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov in 2015 and journalist Anna Politkovskaya in 2006.

          My slippers, please don't make me laugh, it's ticklish, it's hard to write. If such investigators are killed, the Internet will be empty. You can start with the flat-earthers, then the sect of citizens of the USSR, the list of crazy people can go on for a long time.
          If you talk in your style, it turns out that this is the machinations of the Mossad, they recently wrote that Medvedev is extremely close to your country. Here is the poor truth-teller and suffered. It remains to dig the biography of Zolotov ..... so get ready to repent. hi

      No, it went into circulation. For libel - a fine of 88 million rubles. For concealing the fact of foreign financing in the materials - fines of 500 thousand, 500 thousand, 5 million rubles. In general, the Anti-Corruption Foundation has migrated to the state budget. And then the bloody democrats do not intend to replenish the Russian budget.
      But stop paying Navalny - he will start chatting. So, nice souvenir from the British Embassy, ​​with the Newbie - and everyone is happy. Dead Navalny is the best for the West, Navalny.

              Well yes. Gentlemen with bricks - this is not so gentlemanly. They use polonium, drugs (because no one has survived from the Novice), then strangulation from their favorite boyfriend ... Not a single normal assassination attempt.
              This is what the domestic ones banged Nemtsov - I believe. Pistol, street, woman. In our opinion, in a muzhik way. feel
              Navalny was taken to Germany. Wangyu, he will immediately rise there. For 88 million of debt cannot be scooped out of it. I have not paid salaries to people for 4 years, and they will not pay a fine.

                  No, from 1995 to 2000. Kirovles. Navalny and his brother did not pay the workers' wages, but annually wrote themselves a bonus of 17 million denominated. Under Putin, he was put on trial several times, his brother sat down, he got rid of it, but was left with a goal. Organized FBK, where foreign money flowed. But since Navalny did not sign a "foreign agent", FBK's money migrated to the state budget. And then there's an 88 million fine for libel. $ 1 million, by the way.
                  Better to die, because curators will obviously not be supplying money to the Russian budget for 10 years.

                      Well, I was also not paid a salary from January 1992 to October 1993. They gave me checks for the purchase of manufactured goods. For food - no. Fortunately, the organization's resources were allowed to be used for personal purposes. And when the chef demanded to share, he left. The organization has been gone for a long time, the boss died long ago, and 10 thousand tenge, then at the exchange rate of the dollar to 65, still "should".
                      If you are in your 30s, you cannot imagine that. And people lived. They even carried materials from home so that production would not stop.

                        I can imagine and dream up even more.
                        All sorts of news about the Unnamed (that is, Navalny) has long spilled over into a separate genre of media fiction.

    Now, in response, the next portions of sanctions from the EuroUSA will fly in, although in Russia they already do not call him, except as a holy fool .... Still not knowing his true diagnosis - either diarrhea, or scrofula, and the Charite clinic is already behind him and sent a plane to heal him there, just like Yushchenko in 2014, who wanted to do a saggy chin lift there, but something went wrong, and his face became like after leprosy, and that's when all these Euro-USA accused Russia in his poisoning, forced Ukraine to hold an unthinkable third round of presidential elections in Ukraine, and in the wake of this phony poisoning, Viktor Yushchenko won the election against Yanukovych, and about a month after them, being already the president of Ukraine, he called Russia enemy No. and it was the beginning of the forerunner of the entire current situation in Ukraine .... Now the "Navalny's list" will also be added to the "Magnitsky's list", and hysterics began to dance all over our white world - Russia is such, such, different.

      The Kremlin needs Navalny. As a harmless oppositionist, there are many words. And no action ... Who needs Navalny's corpse, it's already a question, perhaps Belarus will support the white ribbon from Russia, while clarity is not visible ...
