Prominent Russian opposition figure Navalny arrested again Alexei Navalny, Russia's most prominent opposition figure, has been detained by police and charged with unlawfully organizing a public gathering. Navalny has called for demonstrators to protest Saturday outside the mayor's office against the rejection of several opposition candidates from the ballot for this fall's Moscow city council elections. In a short video on social media, Navalny said he was seized by police outside his home on Wednesday morning as he went out for a run and to buy flowers for his wife's birthday. His lawyer Olga Mikhailova told the Interfax news agency that Navalny had been charged with organizing an unauthorized gathering. ... https://abcnews.go.com/Internationa...n-opposition-figure-navalny-arrested-64528567 Putin is all too happy to organize pro-Trump, anti-Democratic public gatherings in the USA during election season, but "unauthorized public gatherings" in Russia are a big no-no.
Russia killing opposition figures? Who believes such nonsense? Jeanette. Straighten out these misguided souls. Every rational person knows Putin loves liberty and dissidents. (Tongue very much in cheek).
Yeah, and Navalny is quite dead as we know .... oops. Another very minor agitator in Russia manages to get himself arrested on a minor charge. The Western press dutifully inflates its importance and toadies here provide the echo chamber. Really high-brow stuff.
Well, what do expect when talking about Putin and Russia, post-graduate studies of metaphysics and epistemology? For Putin? Give me a break. He requires a fly swatter, not a heavy book with deep thoughts. I mean it’s Putin, not Alexander the Great.
Every time I see or hear Alexei Navalny name I remember when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton meddled in Russia's 2011 elections and backed Alexei Navalny for Russia's President. Lessons learned and always forgotten... Din't piss off the leadership of the FBI. Mark Felt (Deepthroat) James Comey Don't piss off Vladimir Putin.

I have news for you, Alexander the Great was a general, not a great thinker. That is unless you're thinking of the Russian philosopher Alexander Dugan who wrote a book about a 4th political system superseding the three previous ones of: Liberalism, Fascism and Communism. Dugan has been called Putin's brain, or the most dangerous political scientist in the world - something that Socrates might also have been called in his day and age. He explains in the video the term 'Eurasia' and what is meant by it. It's always nice to get a first hand account of how someone thinks, rather than a second or third since they are either deliberately misleading, or a projection of the person saying it.
