Navalny is unelectable and he knows it. He is corrupt as sin, a convicted felon (on corruption charges no less) and a rabid racist (a real thing not the modern political definition). On the other hand the current Ukrainian government were unelectable too as were Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt or Bolshies in St. Petersburg in 1917. Of course a little foreign intervention and a glorious revolution can fix that little unelectability issue and a little bunch of idiot supporters would make it look legitimate.
Bottom line is unless revolution considered all these jerks only makes Putin grip firmer sowing division within the left further splitting leftist supporters. If it would continue none of them would get enough votes to be in Duma and Russia would really become a one party state under Putin which is certainly not a good thing.
The video above is rather long but it worth seeing if you are interested in Russian politics. Generally I believe it shows there is a division within the Russian left and it is also an absolute spot on on Navalny.
As for Strelkov he has like zero influence. The only thing he is associated with in public opinion is downing of a Malaysian plane in Donetsk. Not a good starting point for a political career.

Might Russia, (snicker) interfere in the Russian election?
