Navalny had successfully exposed the immense and spectacular corruption within the Kremlin mafioso machine. The Russian people supported him. That was too much for the chief of the Deep State in Moscow to handle. All Putins opposition leaders are now rotting in Gulags or are being killed.
Putin would lose any debate against any opposition leader. So better kill them all... Just like the old Soviet Union, Russia has now become the Neo Soviet Union.
The Inside Story of How Alexey Navalny Uncovered Putin’s $1.3 Billion Palace
Two days after Alexey Navalny, head of Russia’s Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) was arrested on his return to Moscow from Berlin, he released a video expose that shocked Russians and people around the world. In the video, “Putin’s palace. History of the world’s largest bribe,” Navalny alleged that an opulent property near Gelendzhik, a town in the southern Russian region of Krasnodar, was constructed for Russian President Vladimir Putin with illicit funds of $1.35 billion, provided by members of his inner circle, and that Putin is the real owner of the palace.
The palace’s features apparently include a port, a vineyard, a church, a casino, an underground hockey rink, and toilet brushes costing $850 a piece. “It is a separate state within Russia… And in this state there is a single, irreplaceable tsar. Putin,” Navalny said in the video. Allegedly covering an area of 17, 691 square meters, it is the largest private residential building in Russia.
wow you’re shocked that Russia doesn’t run like the USA or France. Maybe you should to your look at your own faults first before you go looking at other countries faults.
At least for his high-profile prisoners, Stalin would go through the motions of a show trial and make believe that the accused was a traitor or at least a criminal. Putin doesn’t even bother with a trial most of the time. He just kills his enemies like the KGB gutter thug he is.
