For one day at least, Russia’s opposition came alive to mourn its lost leader.
The funeral of Alexei Navalny on Friday almost did not happen at all. But thousands ultimately turned out — braving the snow, heavy security and weeks of Kremlin efforts to derail the event — so that they could pay their respects to the man who challenged President Vladimir Putin with a vision for a democratic Russia.
Bearing flowers, candles and placards, the crowd chanted Navalny’s name as his body was first delivered to a church in southern Moscow for a brief funeral and then to a nearby cemetery.
There were also riskier words uttered in a country where the state crushes even modest displays of dissent. “Russia without Putin!” “Russia will be free!” and even “Putin is a murderer!” were all audible cries from the clamorous masses.

Coming to a head? I doubt it.
It would be awesome!
How dare they actually stand up and say something about Putin?!
His contingent of yapping yes-men on Free Republic will be disappointed to hear that.
...and MILLIONS stay put. No surprise.
By the way, did our embassy PAY the relative handful of people to be there, like often happens in the US?

Here’s another layer in the whole Russia-Ukraine-Putin-Zelensky drama.
True? I don’t know. But it would explain why Biden’s cabal is supporting Ukraine.

I see yet another individual who claims that people who are against spending billions of unaccounted-for tax payer dollars in Ukraine for yet another proxy war with Russia, makes us Putin's "yapping yes men." Just because you don't agree with us, doesn't mean you need to label us like liberals do.
It’s all true, but what’s AMAZING in that photo was that you could get so many Ukrainian leaders together and be able to hide all the NAZI symbols.
That’s a FIRST in my book.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!
(((PING!)))
... to be added to the best Zeeper-provided entertainment since Paul Shanklin parodies, ping me bro.
Thank you!!
Zeepers, the REMF for the Biden and the Deep State open borders forever war crowd.
You know the AMERICAN CITIZEN who was left to die in a UKE prison?
Why didn't you post any articles bemoaning his untimely death?
Here's a reminder of who Gonzalo WAS:
I know people there who bravely attended memorials for him. It’s tough times for them.
That little crowd will win the war. You bet.
Why are the FR globalist communists not talking about the actual combat at the front? What is it that they are trying to obfuscate about?
Navalny was CIA operative groomed at Yale (where all deep state spooks are recruited).
Putin can't arrest everybody.
Ignore the CIA/UKE ops. They are paid to say this stuff.
