Navalny is an incredible charismatic character and one of the few voices left who are still heard outside Russia (mainly because he managed to stay alive). It's been a crazy year for many but this is some next-level horror: Getting poisoned by the secret police, then gets help by bellingcat with counter-intelligence, chases his hunters and gets one of them to confess the whole scheme on an insecure phone call with a stranger, voluntarily travels back to his home country where he faces likely arrest, gets arrested fully knowing that while he is away his team will also publish what will lay bare Vladimir Vladimirovich's financial network. All during a pandemic when everyone is glued to the news. It's not the best timing for the release of this and 2 days later would have been better. But I understand his team wants to release this ASAP considering where he is it's a critical and dangerous time for him. The question is will the West (especially Europe) step up and start sanctioning the individuals in that network directly. I don't think this will happen and I think Navalny knows. A sensitive topic when what enables this are the tax havens in our own countries (Cyprus, Malta, City of London, Channel Islands, Switzerland). Also German ex-chancellor Gerhard Schroeder on the board of Gazprom[1] the moment he stepped back from politics, or the Austrian politician who had Putin as a guest at her wedding[2] [0] Treasure Islands: Tax Havens and the Men who Stole the World: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_Islands:_Tax_Havens_and_the_Men_Who_Stole_the_World https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_Islands:_Tax_Havens_a...
