  1. This whole situation is like Fred Hampton and COINTELPRO

  2. Materialism is impatient because its time is limited The SPIRIT is patient because it is ETERNAL ❤

  3. PUTIN THE BEAST PAST & NOW – !!

    Putin's inhumanity

    Makes countless thousands mourn

    A piece of earth made to live

    He’s earned our Father's scorn.

    He’s the bad boy of our planet

    Who walks in shoes upright

    He differs only in his posture

    From beasts that feast at night.

    Some have asked why must we study history

    It just encourages us to live in the past.

    When we forget history, we repeat its errors

    As the outcomes of all are cast.

    By Tom Zart!

  4. I dont know why people are so suprised like wtf Putin was always like this its just that Navalny was famous .

  5. Don’t forget that he was the first to recognize Crimea as Russian

  6. He is a nazi! Why we celebrating his death like he was someone special? Western media lost the plot!

  7. Putin had for sure absolute NO interes to kill Navalny, in this moment, at least he don't need troubles right NOW!
    Navalny's death in this moment is not favorabil at all, (but very risky) for Putin.
    Putin is not idiot to harm himself in such vulnerabil moments, especially before ellections…
    If Putin would murder him, everything would be prepared very well and carefully planned in advance, and the mom would get the body immediately.
    If he was murdered, for sure was not done by Putin, but by someone who is his enemy and who is interested to sow discord and tension between Putin and his peoples!
    I don't like Putin, but just thinking logically ….

  8. This is very sad but why is the US getting involved it’s just going created more tension with Russia ?

  9. USA, don’t let Trump win the election, this man is not who he claims to be, he will support the fascist regime of Russia, he will stop military assistance to Ukraine, this is a threat to Europe, because Russia is an aggressor and a threat to all European countries and beyond. You may not understand a lot, but as a person who has been interested in Russian politics for many years, I know for sure that she is an aggressor and cannot be allowed to win or delay this war with Ukraine.

  10. A soap opera of misinformation! Navalny didn't matter inside Russia. He only mattered outside Russia and was nothing more than a propaganda tool. Putin was barely aware of Navalny. He was that insignificant.

  11. See I told you he's a beast and monster for Russia people he doesn't care only himself and his friend the devil

  12. you couldn't bring Democracy to Iraq, how are you going to bring Democracy to Russia when according to IMF their economy is doing better than G7 countries? Shouldn't you finish what you have started in Iraq first? Or are we in global south missing something? The world is watching – From Mongolia

  13. Zelensky was afraid of US citizen journalist Gonzalez Lira (died in a Ukrainian prison), Biden is afraid of Assange, Snowden, the Democratic Party is terrified of Trump. The US prisons contain the largest number of prisoners in the world ~2.0 million (in Russia ~ 0.4 million). ~6,000 people die in U.S. prisons every year – the free media is silent… but suddenly the whole "free" West and the "democratic" media saw Navalny… Is the "Navalny phenomenon" a paradox of lies or a double standard?

  14. Romans 3:23
    For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

    Romans 6:23
    For the wages of sin is death;

    Psalms 9:17
    The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

    Acts 8:37
    And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

    Romans 10:9
    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

    Corinthians 15:3-4
    For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

    Ephesians 2:8-9
    For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. 
    '
    '

  15. The whole world is upside down because Putin is afraid to lose the billions earned extorting the oligarchs. He is the boss of the new KGB mafia called FSB.

  16. CIA propaganda! CIA lap dog set to overthrow Putin.
    Check out the real truth.

  17. The West will not be allowed to chop the body of Navalny to spread their lies. Leave him alone! At least after his death! You hyenas.

  18. Believe me, as a Russian, I see the situation from the inside and I know that Navalny is sponsored by the West to shake up the situation in Russia. But the people of Russia are already experienced enough to be able to distinguish truth from lies. Therefore, the majority of Russians will vote for Putin in a month. Better think about the fate of Assange, whom the US authorities want to shut down for more than 150 years.

  19. Noone in Russia knows who is Navalny, that's how much Putin afraid of him LOL

  20. Poor mother feel so sorry for her too loose such a great son

  21. Navalny is known among Russian citizens as a blogger who was supplied with information by NGOs of the American foundations of George Soros and others paid from the US State Department. These funds interfered in the presidential election in Russia in 1996, and falsified election results by paying for presidential candidates and Russian deputies. For some reason, he was considered a politician in the West, although he had never been involved in politics and did not have a political platform, but was engaged in blogging and he was never popular in Russia. In the 90s, he was a member of the ultra-Nazi group RNE-Russian National Unity, which engaged in attacks on people of other nationalities and other races.The RNE groups were defeated by the Police Department against Organized Crime, and gang leaders were jailed for crimes, Navalny found himself doing blogging, finding sponsors in the Soros Foundation, and his daughter studied at Stanford for free.On the eve of his death, he was visited by a lawyer…..

  22. Condolences to Navalny's mother, but…. You did not show how she talks about Navalny's wife: her wife has free entry into the country, but she has never visited Navalny in prison for two years, they have been divorced since 2021, robbed Navalny while he was in prison: I transferred money from all accounts, although I'm divorced. She arrived at the Munich conference at the time of Navalny's death and came out with a smile to announce the death. Navalny's wife lived with Chichvarkin (the businessman lives in London), who two months before Navalny's death reported: about Navalny's "possible" death. Navalny's mother accused his wife: "during mourning for the trade in his name.

  23. A pure evil and cruelty to a grieving mother.

  24. I cannot understand these news medias, what do you mean by skeptical, we all know that Navalny was murdered, for the sake of truth tell it like it is. Stop beating around the bush.

  25. Aren't prisoners' bodies released to their families? Once they are dead, their sentences are completed. What is the justification made for the State blocking the family's possession of the body, under any circumstances? The Russian people have been denied a devoted and determined champion, with Navalny's death. His family should not be denied at least, the return of his corpse.

  26. No, it was not natural for a healthy man.

  27. why go against their own law, to give the family the body of their son, allow them to have tests done,otopsey to see what he died of, and take away her legal choice of where, he is buried, at the threat of keeping the body, this would show deception,by puton, and the intentional hiding of truth also from keeping mother, from seeing him on hearing of his death but allowing things to disappear from blood, and decomposition to start before seeing him. all points to murder or wrongdoing

  28. Navalny knew that he could be murdered. He said 3 years ago: "If the regime kills me, it will admits it's own weakness. Don't give up – continue to fight for Truth and Freedom!". He has been put in prison to the slow, torturous death, but he never gave up his principles, as a real, Hero. Dictator killed his body, but not his strong Spirit! My deepest respect and condolences to his remarkable, strong-spirited Mother and to his faithful and companion-in-arms wife- Julia! The heroes don't die. Their rebellious, light spirit disperse darkness of hopelessness around us….

  29. I see this happening in America

  30. If they try to hide and disappear Navalny's body, that shows that he was murdered by Putin, if there was no guilt, they would give it to his mother or his wife.

  31. Navalny was like the Trump of Russia.
    He was politically persecuted just like Trump is by today's communist Democrat party

  32. This is Putin saying vote for me or else¡

  33. Biden is America Putin! BEWARE!

  34. Sound exactly like what the Biden administration is trying to do to Trump, minus the death, but I'm sure that will come later if the lock him up.

  35. This would be an absolute propaganda misfire for Russia, which is not to suggest that some organization (cough cough CIA) had a hand in it.

  36. Putin did Navalny, Biden did Trump. Tyrants will be tyrants.

  37. Wonder what america will cal. Julian assange dead?epstiened!

  38. Biden Harris democrats for democracy gop trump for dictators

  39. Navalny's surviving Family should move somewhere "To The West", to any "Country Of-Good-Will" …BEFORE THEY END UP WITH A 'RICIN PELLET" IN THEIR HIP.

  40. This is like Emmett Till's mother fighting the Mississippi authorities to get her son's body back.

  41. Anyone who believes what Putin says is just as gullible as believing everything the traitor trump says. Putin had Navalny MURDERED! Are you kidding me, people who oppose Putin they all are dead, they either fell out of windows, drank poisoned tea, or were in prison and were blown out of the sky. Come on let’s not be stupid.🤬
