Starting almost immediately after the death of imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a penal colony in the Russian Far North, Russian government agencies and Kremlin-controlled media began issuing implausible, contradictory speculation as to how Vladimir Putin’s chief political rival could have possibly met his demise in a remote facility administered by Vladimir Putin’s oppressive state apparatus. As an exercise in understanding just how disorienting the Kremlin’s firehose of falsehoods can be, The Insider sums up the most blatantly false “versions” of Navalny’s death that were offered to the Russian public.

Democrats are using the death of a Russian political prisoner to distract Americans from the many ways they are ruining America, i.e., LGBT, Marxism, vote cheating, war on merit, soft on crime, weaponized courts, open borders, and environmental fear mongering. Are Republicans going to let them get away with this?

Those enemies of Putin should take much better care of themselves.
Start with field of greens and some beet powder and then on to organic health foods.
And shut up about the outspoken criticism of the boss. Never healthy.
Same thing in the USA too...that’s what’s disgusting. We act like we are better than them when in reality we are most likely a lot worse.
It looks like Biden got a good sniff of Yulia when they hugged today!
Like Biden has been trying to do to Trump by unleashing frivolous lawsuits against him and trying to keep him off the ballot in multiple states?
Nobody but you Zeepers and RATs care about freaking Navalny. Who wants to root around some Latvian site? The guy is dead and that is the end of it.
Lets talk about the death of American citizen Gonzalo Lira.
Right. Here is a list of ways in which the Left’s lawfare persecution of Trump is not as bad as Russia’s and China’s”

Exhausted. Thanks for reading.
She was probably paid well to whack him by the CIA. She probably has a new honey and they will walk off with a ton of money.
The “adults in the room” care about the thousands of political arrests and prosecutions of political opponents of the Biden regime.
No, we don’t sonny.
It is indeed Latvian. The address of the "donate" news site is: Mārupes novads, Babītes pagasts, Piņķi, Parka iela 9 - 5, LV-2107
Source: https://company.lursoft.lv/en/the-insider/40103909487
Piņķi is a village in Mārupe Municipality, Latvia. Piņķi had 3,434 residents as of 2014.
From the web page: "The Insider is a Russia-focused, independent media outlet. We're fully committed to investigative journalism and to debunking fake news. We're proud of our growing recognition, having received, among many others, The Council of Europe's Innovation Award, The European Press Prize and the Free Media Award."

Therefore, approved by the EU. But in English and Russian, not Latvian or any of the other languages of Europe.
A part of the site which "debunks" lists all sorts of individuals. Sort of a Latvian "Southern Poverty Law Center."
Among those Insider SIA doesn't like and calls them "fakesperts": Steve Bannon, Daniel Horowitz, Tucker Carlson, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with more names for those in other European nations who might not be known in the US.

Debunking the SPLC way....
Was that Yolanda Navali?
The Tater was apparently groping his widow, Yolanda.
I love these investigations you do on websites.
Well, you must have dug deeper oir wider than I've had time to do. I have yet to find any mention of Bannon at all. Help me out?
He thinks it is
Of course the Russian state is lying, just like the American state, British state, etc. They all lie. And they all murder their opponents. That is what governments have done from time immemorial.
A lot of the article for this thread is in English, but some is in Russian. Perhaps some Russian speaker can provide translations?
There in the original comment. A hodgepodge of folks, with Steve Bannon and George Galloway (rather opposite politically, to my take) among the many in the drop box list.
One also observes that Russia could pull the plug on the ".ru" domain anytime, and hasn't. Rather akin to the "Ukrainian" Myrotvorets Research Center ( source: https://myrotvorets.center/ ), which is a domain in Thailand, not Ukraine, though that webpage purports to have offices in "Langley, VA, USA and Warszawa, Polska," according to their splash page.
Among the comments in this thread, one asks for Russian speakers to translate, when in fact the "theins.ru" home page has a prominent "EN" on which to click for the English version. It seems many do not look as closely at sources -- on all sides -- as one can.
While the Latvian domain is registered in Russia, Latvia has its own domain suffix. Source: https://www.nic.lv/en/ This has been available since 1993. So, theins.ru could easily have been theins.lv. The choice was theirs. They wanted to seem "Russian," and publish only in English and Russian. Additionally, that domain name has been registered since 2013, so this is not a recent entity. Some of its commentators are resident in Britain, Ukraine and America (NYC).
This is a strange time, as one sees with Ukraine's new top general, Oleksandr Syrskyi, who has family living in Russia, and echo of times when in our own Revolution, there were loyalists to the crown and rebels within the same families. Ditto in our Civil War. So much on the internet can be closely examined, and not simply taken at face value.
