Die Zeit: Last obstacle to Putin's "eternal domination" removed

February 3 2021 18

The Russian authorities finally sent to jail for 2 years and 8 months opposition blogger Alexei Navalny in the case of fraud with Yves Rocher. Thus, the Kremlin for some time relieved itself of such a strong irritant, which was and is for the regime Navalny and his "exposing" activities.

Even the optimists who sympathized with him understood that Navalny would be sentenced to a real term. Formally, he was jailed for violating probation restrictions, which, however, did not interest the judges before. The FBK film about "Putin's palace" added fuel to the fire, exposing the Russian president in a bad light, who as a result, after eliminating the "Navalny problem", can secure himself power for many years.

Probably, Navalny was Putin's last big irritant. The final obstacle to eternal reign

- says Die Zeit.

In connection with the re-qualification of the opposition's suspended sentence into a real Kremlin, it bared its irrational fears, mobilizing large forces of law and order to suppress the few sympathizers. At the same time, Alexei Navalny's supporters should feel a personal danger.

But, according to the German newspaper, the triumph of the Putin regime will not last long, and the real time behind bars has become the reason for the even greater popularity of the disgraced leader of the non-systemic opposition. The Kremlin wanted to poison Navalny last summer in order to prevent the "prison glory" of the opposition martyr. The verdict itself became a kind of "knighting", and for ordinary citizens of Russia this serves as proof of the honesty of the convicted oppositionist.

So far, Navalny's card is being played very well. Any action against a blogger is zugzwang. The authorities have driven themselves into a trap with an incorrect attitude towards him. Now everyone associates punishment with the film, and other violations are only a pretext.

  Navalny has neither charisma, nor actions of the state level, one criticism and that's all ... Therefore, this is a dummy, an empty barrel and ringing uselessly, people understand everything, because only young people are partly behind him, and with such PR actions even from the authorities ... Perhaps that is why they do not remove him, but give bonuses for fame, but the wasteland does not bear fruit, the power understands and keeps Navalny on the agenda. Of these 2, 8 years, he will serve a year and be released on parole, in order to further take away a place from the serious opposition ...

What fears, what a "irritant", what a "knighthood" ... God, what rotten brains you need to have to consider this gangster from the gateway "opposition martyr", and why ... Someone had to "poison" him with the strongest BOV, a drop of which would be enough for your entire Charite clinic along with all of Berlin, but which did not even cause him diarrhea or enuresis. When you stop playing these children's "sandboxes" and engaging in other dirty provocations and insinuations against Russia, do not touch us, and you will happily live to your physiological end.

I wonder if the Americans will someday withdraw their troops from Germany, the Germans will throw mud at the United States in the same way as they are throwing mud at Russia today? I am sure they will! Hopefully America will never take the stupid steps toward Germany that Russia did when it felt that the Germans had changed in the postwar years. Well, let us leave the Germans in their "wonderful" ignorance, which has always played a cruel joke with them, and we will not dissuade them as to how, who and to whom relates today in Russia, and even more so why.

  The Germans (not all, but a significant number) welcomed the massive import of "refugees" from the Middle East into Germany.

Thus, the Kremlin for some time relieved itself of such a strong irritant, which was and is for the regime Navalny and his "exposing" activities.

And not from him alone.
Grudinin - after losing the "most honest elections" (laughing out loud), he is being pressured from all sides by economic and political pincers. And it is very dirty, which, by the way, is the difference between the current government.
Platoshkin has been under house arrest for the 9th month on trumped-up, unsubstantiated charges. In December, the notorious Moscow City Court extended his detention under house arrest with the wording that Platoshkin knows 4 languages and can escape abroad.
Now here is Navalny. The political field for eternal reign has been completely cleared. Oh, yes, the next "most honest elections" will take place in the fall. There, and for the EP, the clearing has been completely cleared, now it has no rivals. Well, it's not Zyuganov to be considered from this point of view. Zyuganov is doing a wonderful job of discrediting the Communist Party and all those who are trying to join her and still believe him. But in vain ...

  ... well, people need to rub about something! When another "protester" nailed his balls to the pavement on Red Square, they also talked about it ... would definitely strengthen the confidence of its investors in their own importance for Russian society For a long time they have already had everything that is vital - both "facts" and evidence ...
