No.
He participated in Russian marches some 20 years ago but kept his distance afterwards. FYI, ultra-nationalists outside of government structures were all jailed or killed since then, and the state nourishes similar sentiments in people much more successfully.
He is favoring the idea of abolishing free travel with poorer countries like Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, but this is pretty much in line with the politics of all other governments (US vs Mexico as opposed to US vs Canada).
Anything else is state propaganda trying to discredit him.
- Sideyon 5y agoYes. He expressed extremely hateful views on Caucasians, gays, immigrants, and Jews in his blog posts and videos around 2010. He pushed "the great replacement" conspiracy theory right in 2017 saying that Putin conducts Islamization of Russia (his article on why Trump is the opposite of Putin). All these cases make him controversial for the modern world where people are "cancelled" for much less.
- sam_lowry_ 5y agoI reread that article [1] you refer to. Can't see anything you are talking about. Read the source, Luke ;-) BTW, Looking at your previous comments I can see that you only post about Russia. That's red flag. [1] https://navalny.com/p/5124/ https://navalny.com/p/5124/
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoPlease cite some sources on his hateful views on gays and jews. As for hateful views on immigrants, well, they boil down to that Russia needs a visa regime with certain middle asian countries. To note, every single EU state, US, Canada, Australia, etc DO have visa regime with those states, and with Russia. Apparently, all politicians in these countries who do not act to abolish the visas are hateful extremists.
- nurgasemetey 5y agoI don't agree with you about that sentiment. Navalny compared middle asian immigrants to "cockroaches" and "rotten tooth". Just because Navaly is anti-Putinist doesn't allow him to say such disgusting things.
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoYet again, please, provide sources when you make such bold statements. Navalny is not angel and I do have many questions for him, yet, I feel you are mostly reading propaganda websites.

- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoLol. Rotten teeth was him referring to russian neo nazis. Do you even know Russian?
