    Whether or not Putin actually had him assassinated, years of unfair imprisonment and abuse certainly contributed heavily to his death. Putin is responsible, in one sense or another.

    “He died of a very natural Novichok build-up from unhealthy life choices having nothing to do with Kremlin.” - Some Russian dressed like doctor.

    That doesn’t say much, though, as people might suddenly die looking healthy from aneurysms, strokes and what not. An independent medical examination would be the only way to prove the cause of death. Which we know we’ll never get.

    Conservatism is a terminal disease long overdue for a cure. Navalny tried his best to fight the disease. It killed him. The world needs to fight conservatism together or we will all suffer and die because of it.

      The Kremlin is extremely effective at convincing the Russian people to dismiss opposition figures who have fled the country to avoid being killed by Putin as “foreign agents”. Navalny chose his own death over the death of his political movement. I hope history rewards him for it.

      For longevity, perhaps. Considering the Russian government’s penchant for poisoning people outside their territory, perhaps not.
