If you think Navalny was anything but a Russian nationalist, or that he would have acted differently than Putin on e.g. returning Crimea to Ukraine[0], try learning more about him.
Also, Reuters is really showing its bias here by incessantly referring to Putin as "the former KGB spy". Imagine if an article about Reagan while he was president referred to him constantly as "the former Hollywood actor".

- tryauuum 3y agoI don't understand why people keep talking about nationalism and Crimea. Does it justify him being dead (which is the title post)?
- xdennis 3y agoYou hit the nail on the head. They're highlighting his flaws to make it so his "passing" wasn't really that bad. It's why he's being compared to Putin. It's a typical Russian tactic: you can't make Putin seem like an angel, but you can portray everybody as corrupt. Make them think that "everybody is the same" and the indifference is more powerful than repression because most people won't even revolt.
