Vladimir Putin Flaunts Immunity Over Alexei Navalny's Demise

Alexei Navalny—Russia's most famous anti-corruption and pro-democracy campaigner—remains languishing in a penal colony east of Moscow, confined to the prison's hospital as his health deteriorates amid an ongoing hunger strike.
International media coverage, sanctions and mass protests have failed to puncture the Kremlin's public indifference to the health of one of its most prominent critics.
One doctor warned that Navalny could die at "any moment." But outside those prison walls, Moscow is still cracking down on his allies as they try to arrange fresh rallies. Some Navalny staff have gone into hiding, while others have been detained. Top aide Lyubov Sobol, for example, was dragged from a taxi and arrested on Wednesday.
A Moscow court, meanwhile, is planning to designate Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation and his regional political headquarters as extremist organizations next week. This label has previously been used to prosecute Al-Qaeda members and Jehovah's Witnesses. Any staff, supporters, or financiers caught up in this net could face large fines and long jail terms.

Does anyone know what Navalny actually does for a living?
How does he support the team of lawyers and other PR staff that seem to follow him around?

Doesn’t sound very different from the U.S. where the DOJ/FBI is treating the Jan 6 protestors as domestic terrorists.

“...remains languishing in a penal colony east of Moscow, confined to the prison’s hospital...”
That should have happened to those who tried to overthrow Trump.

Interestingly, almost every sentence in this ludicrous Nooseweak article is relevant if referenced to the American Marxist Left, the Deep Swamp Bureaucracy, or the Biden Regime Operatives.
Example:
"Once you've basically decided that everyone who is opposed to you is an extremist or a terrorist, and therefore needs to be suppressed, re-educated or just stuck behind bars, well then in a way you pick your fight,"
That perfectly describes America's Big three I listed above.
