    It's funny, what a stir caused today's refusal to Navalny in the Western media. That's really the first pages in the top. As if this is for somebody a surprise. Bulk according to Russian laws can not be elected. You can argue as much as you can about whether his criminal case was purely political or purely criminal, but the fact is, to register today as a candidate for the Presidency, the Central Election Commission should violate Russian laws. It is obvious that nobody will conduct such a public violation of the laws. And, accordingly, ban of Navalny was evident already several years ago.

    And the call for a boycott on the part of Navalny is completely ridiculous. His now supports an insignificant part of the Russians. His rallies have not collected more than a few hundred people for a long time :)
