Like many of us, Russians, Navalny was subject to the innate imperial mindset, and his political views were right-wing (not something that I personally agree with). Nevertheless, he was the one who recognised the evil nature of Putin's regime very early on, in fact much earlier than 2014, when Russia launched its aggression against Ukraine. Perhaps, if the world listened to the warnings by Navalny and others in Russian opposition, we could have avoided this tragedy.
