It's not callous, Navalny receives the amount of media attention that he does because he is relevant to western interests in Russia. He does not garner nearly as much support as it may seem among the Russian people because he is a hardline right wing politician which is something Russians have always avoided. Also, after Yeltsin most Russians avoid any politicians with western backing for obvious historical reasons. Navalny is a propaganda tool for the west and nothing more, he is not a relevant replacement for Putin nor is he someone the west should really be supportive of unless they are on the payroll of major defense contractors. How can westerners be supportive of anti racist policies at home while supporting a racist nationalist abroad without being hypocritical?
