Russian opposition leader challenging Vladimir Putin in March's presidential election can expect to be poisoned or imprisoned, according to prominent Putin ally Vladimir Solovyov.
Boris Nadezhdin, a former State Duma member who is known for opposing Russia's war in Ukraine, announced on Wednesday that he was filing papers to challenge Putin in the election. The announcement came after a successful campaign to collect at least 100,000 voter signatures required to appear on the ballot.
Solovyov, the host of a popular Russian state television show known for pushing Kremlin propaganda, warned Nadezhdin during a broadcast a short time later that his candidacy would come at a high cost, according to a translated clip posted to X, formerly Twitter, by Russian Media Monitor founder Julia Davis.
Referring to Nadezhdin with the affectionate nickname "Borya," Solovyov said that he was "terribly disappointed" in Nadezhdin for challenging Putin. He then quickly denounced the candidate, who is backed by the center-right Civic Initiative Party, as an "idiot."
"In a human sense, for me, this is a big disappointment," Solovyov said. "I've known Borya for about 25 years... It's funny to suppose that in our country, Borya thinks he could suddenly be elected president. It's clear that there are zero chances."
"You'll be thrown into prison and that'll be the end of it!" he continued. "The government will raise your poor children! Are you an idiot?...There was a Berlin patient, and now there will be another one from Dolgoprudny [Nadezhdin's hometown]."
Solovyov's mention of the "Berlin patient" refers to the now-imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who was treated in Berlin after becoming the victim of a 2020 poisoning that he and many others suggested was ordered by Putin.

He didn’t choose falling out of a window?
Go to Moscow Indian Casinos for odds on whether it’s poison or falling out of a window
Window cancer.
beat me by 45 seconds
Window.
He’ll “fall” out a window.
Window cancer it is. I’ll remember that.
Maybe because I’ve started taking lion’s mane mushroom capsules. The ad said I would be ‘sharp as a tack’.
It's the kind of speculation that only can occur if there is free speech within a nation. But, that contradicts the lie you and your ilk constantly are spewing that there is no free speech in Russia.
Ashli Babbitt, Seth Rich, Jeffery Epstein...All murdered right here in the USA.
Political prisoners? From peaceful J6 protesters to pro-life ones...We have them right here in the USA.
Thousands of Americans have died because Biden, with the full complicity of establishment Republicans, have allowed open borders.
I don't care has to happen to you to make you care more about our problems than whatever you imagine is happening in Russia.
More from “Christian” Russia.
Time for the daily dose of propaganda from the spooks.
You’re tagline is beyond sick!
You’ve never been around a Russian person, have you??
My personal favourite was the Brandon Administration denouncing
Venezuela for using the Courts to exclude the major opposition candidate from the ballot.
“You’ve never been around a Russian person, have you??”
Russian =/= “Ruzzian”
Examples of Russians: Navalny, Tchaikovsky, Gorbachev, etc.
Examples of Ruzzians: Lenin, Stalin, Putin, Medvedev, Solovyov, Shoigu, Lavrov, etc.
Modern-day Russia isn't the old Soviet Union. You don't seem to grasp that or don't want to.
You're the cancer to humanity. It's the hate you possess that leads to wars and death.
Get some spiritual or psychological help.
Doesn’t sound like the person making the claim is a Putin ally at all. More BS propaganda peddling.
It’s a translation from Russian TV. On-air threats on Russia state television. One of its most popular hosts and shows.
Hitler said the same thing about the Russians. He referred to slavs as Untermenschen (subhuman).
You may now this to your list of things you have in common with Adolf.
