This is a bit off-topic, but Navalny calling his killer and pranking him into telling all kinds of nasty details of Navalny's own killing attempt is mind-bogging [1]. I am sure this is now part of all secrets services of the world 101 trainings.
Full audio with English transcript: [2].
There is also a bit of background told by Navalny later on, e.g. the name Maxim Sergeevich Ustinov was not really random.
