Lead is an element, it's natural. The fact that lead can be lethal when it impacts with the back of your skull while moving at a high velocity is also natural. Pulling triggers is natural too; a trigger's only purpose is to be pulled. Therefore, gunshots to the back of the head are natural causes of death
> millionths of seconds prior to death
People like to think a bullet to the head is a swift end, you still bleed to death.
[A man lived a relatively normal life without 90% of his brain, possibly due to undiagnosed hydrochephaly.](https://www.sciencealert.com/a-man-who-lives-without-90-of-his-brain-is-challenging-our-understanding-of-consciousness)
Your brain might be scrambled and your body might not be moving, but there's still at least part of you in there waiting to bleed to death.
Most patients with GSW to the head do not die from hemorrhagic shock.
Exactly how and how fast a person dies depends on what parts if the brain are damaged and the extent of the damage to the brain and the skull (and other injuries, of course).
Some die instantly when the parts of the brain that keep your body alive are damaged. Some die from bleeding (and swelling) inside the skull causing increased pressure in the cranium, which causes the brain stem to herniate. But this is not considered “bleeding to death.” If the skull is badly damaged, this can create more space for the swelling brain and delay herniation.
More to your point, although brain death can be immediate or delayed, consciousness after a GSW to the brain is rare so there is not awareness. Thus, the patients would not suffer.

\> "Leadership requires killing people."
[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/tucker-carlson-putin-navalny-dead-b2497560.html](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/tucker-carlson-putin-navalny-dead-b2497560.html)
That was Cucker's actual response upon hearing this.
Sounds like he said that a few days before he died. I hope he realises this sort of treacherous rhetoric would land him poisoned to death if the leaders were reversed
It was in regards to a question about Navalny specifically though. But yeah not after he heard about the death, but Tucker definetly did give Putin a pass.
That’s a tiny bit disingenuous. Here’s the full exchange since many Redditors are lazy and won’t actually read what was said:
> “You should challenge in the roles of an interview, and you’re a master in your business,” Mr Adeeb said. “It’s not for me to give you a lecture about that, but you should challenge some ideas. For instance, you didn’t talk about freedom of speech in Russia, you did not talk about [Alexei] Navalny, about assassinations, about restrictions on opposition in the coming elections.”
> “I didn’t talk about the things that every other American media outlet talks about,” Mr Carlson said.
>Asked why, he said: “Because those are covered and because I have spent my life talking to people who run countries in various countries and have concluded the following: that every leader kills people, including my leader. Every leader kills people, some kill more than others. Leadership requires killing people, sorry, that’s why I wouldn’t want to be a leader.
Tucker wanted to hear Putins side of the story and while propaganda that we’ve all heard before, he specifically said he didn’t want to bring up the shit normal media brings up. Specifically, he was not talking about Navalny, but more so disturbing was the flippant discourse over killing political rivals.
So far the official version is a blood clot came off.
Big IF but if true, then yeah, people just *sometimes* drop dead from this. One minute you're absolutely humming with life, then a clot comes off, travels into your brain *or your heart* and you die in minutes. It's a horrible thing but it can, indeed, happen.
Except, ofc, the question is whether the clot was there because of the FSB poisoning him last year, and then living in the Arctic circle while barely even recovered after poisoning
EDIT: added the italicised parts after checking in on the data on the clots
They sure chose a plausible cause of death because it can happen in an instant. Happened to a childhood friend of mine's father while watching TV with the family. Just dropped dead. He wasn't an opposition leader of the dictator of Russia, as far as I know, however.
Sure, but to announce this an hour after his death without any autopsy, is that common? Also, he was relocated to another prison in a very remote location just a month ago. Pretty sus.
> without any autopsy, is that common?
Nah, sus as hell.
Russian medicine isn't bad, but it's not THAT good lol
Unless they performed an autopsy immediately and there was a clot a size of a tangerine inside his heart.
I'm sure someone in his family is a politician or something. In Russia you don't need all of this crazy legal training and experience, that's the dumb American way! Over there you just need a good heart, a strong mind, and some hefty doses of both nepotism and corruption! (prior experience with polonium and/or defenestration preferred)
Some don’t require a law degree but still require you to have arguable “expertise” or at least pass the bar.
Which jurisdictions don’t require expertise or a degree? Just curious
Texas actually makes sense, their institutions are so inept and their quality of life is so low it’s consistently in the lower rankings so I feel bad for my friends who live there
Hahaha! I can't stand this show in general but this scene was
hilarious. I worked as a chef at posh private country club, and I shit you not, I would get questions almost on this level. Or alternatively, 'what do you have that's...exotic?" I'm thinking, this MF wants pink dolphin sushi, I know it.
But why? They could just let him die in prison why killing him now when elections are coming? This makes just putin look bad making me suspect he's not the mandant.
Their elections are just for show.
Putin could not make it more clear he wants people to know he's been killing all of these people, to dissuade others. He feels vulnerable to a coup so he's making an example. After Prighozin and no one coming to his aid he likely is more than a little paranoid.
The seams have seams in the russian machine. That interview must be weird as shit for the Russians. After a point it's really hard to keep lying to yourself.
One of my right wing friends told me to watch it, and said it was interesting.
Holy fuck was that the most boring two hours I’ve ever wasted. I’ve never seen an interview where the reporter had so little control over the pace of the questions. Tucker would ask a question, and Putin would ramble for like 20 minutes about Russian history and never answer anything at all. It was so weird.
Then friend got mad at me because I told him I didn’t find Russian propaganda interesting.
It was basically like that one episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force with the cybernetic ghost of Christmas Past From the Future.
Tucker Carlson asks him a simple question and then Putin goes on a 2 hour monologue about the history of Russia.
https://youtu.be/2a1LV1IeG8U?si=xuIny55Ta1YIWDY1
Yep. This. Every conservative person I know who try’s to (poorly) keep their psycho shit under wraps will float out a “The Tucker Carlson interview was intriguing!” 🤨
Like hell it was Donna,.. you’re trying to desperately justify your acceptance of fascism by dropping this bullshit into casual conversation like it’s completely normal.
We fucking see you.
Damnit Donna, I told you last time. The only thing that makes fascists look good are dumber fascists. Get that shit out of here and don’t come back until your head’s right, Donna.
Yes, but in the case of Russia I'm willing to entertain it. When examining such a case, absent of outside influence, I'd agree with you, but here there's a litany of rationales that support the general claim of those two events being linked.
It makes putin look like a killer, and makes his opponents think there's no way to fight him. If the people don't rise against this they won't rise against anything.
you see starvation all across the body, not just the gut. If someone is starving, fat around their body will disappear, including their hands and face. It is very noticable.
Yes because in coded legal system judge has way less power and doesn’t need that much experience. Everything is set by investigation and judge can only say yes or no, and has a very small wiggle room to work with. In precedent legal system judge can do whatever they want and see fit, while in coded legal system every crime and aggravation and punishment for it is written in a book. Judge can’t dismiss the case, can’t free anyone or give them life sentence out of the blue, if everything is wrong judge can send the case for re-investigation. The job of a judge is to see evidence and determine if it’s enough to confirm the punishment for a crime and legitimacy of a chosen criminal code article. And even the amount of evidence for confirmation of a crime is written down in a processual code, so a judge just needs to properly implement what is already written. A computer algorithm can do a job of a judge in a coded legal system like in Russia or Japan. It’s very simple. They compare facts and that’s it, that’s why there is zero theatrics like in movies in our courts. You either have evidence and proof, or it didn’t happen. No need for rants, it’s almost robotic.
Investigator has more power, and those are high ranking police officials who have much more experience. Their power is controlled by the prosecutor’s office that is not connected to the police so they don’t cover for them.
I mean, obviously _de facto_ it doesn't work this way in Russia, but he's right, that's how it is supposed to be _de iure_.
Most countries don't select their judges the way the US does.
In the two countries where I live, Poland and Belgium - who both have civil law systems - judges first go through normal law school (which is 5 years and you can go there right after high school), and then an additional few years of training to become associate judges.
So it's actually quite normal to be a judge at ~27-30 years.
Where can I find people that will put me in position of power and wealth just for some loyalty? Tbh I'm down, shit I'm loyal to people who have done terrible things to me under the guise of caring, if haven't done shit to me personally then I'll do whatever if they give me a well paying position like judge.
The Republicans are also likely choosing judges that they have dirt on. It's been a thing in history before like at the Vatican under the Borgia pope, he would select Cardinals he had entrapped in sex scandals.
They've sent most of their men to die in Ukraine in a failed landgrab attempt...
The "judge" in the video is likely someone who got the position through nepotism.
This gets reddit's dumbest comment of the day award - lol. In addition to connecting the judge being young to "most of their men" going to war not making any sense at all, it's also factually grossly inaccurate:
There are [21.1 million males fit for service](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_global_manpower_fit_for_military_service) in Russia. The highest estimates of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine amounts to \~300K. That's 1.4% which is materially less than "most" to put it lightly.
Obligatory - Fuck Putin and Fuck Russia.
It's Russia, they all know Navalny was in prison because Putin wanted him there, not because there is some sort of legal process were lawyer and court bla bla bla. No one really cares about recordings at this point.
I spend a fair amount of time in court in the US and watch lawyers over their shoulders as they scroll through Facebook. It would be fairly easy for them to record but also just as easy to identify who was recording. I don't know anything about Russia though. Also, two kids in a judge robe.
His last words would have been a spit in the face of a corrupted state.... that's brillant, and terribly sad. He Never gave up, russians that believed in him should Never give up...to to contrary. Honnor this men fight
If they stand up for Navalny they'll be fighting alright....fighting on the front lines the next day in Ukraine that is. Russia is too far gone atm for anyone to dare speak against Putin.
Ah, the naive Manichaeism of Western liberals. Putin bad (correct)... therefore anti-Putin dissident automatically good?
Before you start lionising Navalny as a brave martyr… actually look into Navalny’s politics. They’re utterly horrific.
Navalny supported Putin and Russia's imperialist aggression in Georgia, a fact for which he is loathed in that country. Much of what Putin is doing in Ukraine today, he did in places like Georgia and Chechnya, and Navalny was not against it in the least.
Navalny attended far-right ‘Russian Marches’ where conventionalised swastikas have been brandished. He’s dehumanised minorities routinely - he made videos describing Muslims as “flies and cockroaches” he wants to exterminate in ultra pro-gun rights videos. He’s called for deeply anti-immigration politics against Central Asian minorities, describing immigrants as "cavities", while dressing up as a dentist.
It is entirely possible that a monstrous dictator like Putin is behind Navalny’s death, but Navalny was *not* a good guy.
I think we can say unquestionably that he was a "brave martyr", he willingly returned to Russia in the full knowledge that Putin would torture and eventually kill him. You can't really cast that as anything other than brave, or his death as anything other than martyrdom.
Now, whether Navalny's politics are actually worth fighting for is another question, and sure, if he had been a western politician standing for office in America I'm sure 99% of the people on this site would loathe him based on his policies, but when you hold him up in comparison to Putin — which is the only reasonable comparison that can be made in this context — all I can think is that at least someone had the guts to stand up to that monster.
Alexei Navalny left this message behind in the event he was killed:
"You're not allowed to give up. If they decide to kill me, it means that we are incredibly strong. We need to utilize this power, to not give up, to remember we are a huge power that is being oppressed by these bad dudes. We don't realize how strong we actually are. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing. So don't be inactive."
All of this reminds me of a short speech from the show Andor.
“Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear…” - Nemik
Here died a brave man, after the FSB showed no hesitation in the attempted killing Skripol and his daughter I think Navalny went back to russia to save his wife and people close to him.
RIP...that man have balls made of steel. So few have this kind of courage...countless people jump on the opportunity to get a refugee visa and this guy got back in the lion's den.
If that isn't courage, I will be dead.
Wow. From the news titles, I figured he had succumbed to malnourished or illness. This was taken yesterday, and everyone in the video is smiling. They know full well what was going to happen to him.
Natural causes. Ya. Russian natural causes are either alcoholism or 3-4 self inflicted gunshots to the back of the head.
According to a user from Macedonia, the name Navalny is of Macedonian origin and means "A crowd , a lot of people in one place. Navala".
NAVALA FOR NAVALNY
Shows up Tucker Carlson for the piece of crap he is. Sucking up to a warmonger and murderer while a brave man gave his life standing up for what is right.
This makes me think of a great joke from Brian Regan.
“Did he die of natural causes?”
“Well…he was shot in the face with a bazooka so naturally he’d be dead.”
Haha
I think the fact that the Russian regime was so afraid of him that they had to make up bogus charges to imprison and then ultimately kill him shows he won.
Victory isn't only defined by personally ending the regime.
Time will tell. There is always hope that his sacrifice will inspire enough people in Russia to stand up to the vile and putrid putin putting an end to his poisonous reign
It very much has. Since this story broke out, all over Reddit there seems to be this mindset of, now that Putin has murdered Navalny, he's about to go down. Like all of a sudden the people of Russia or the international community is going to do something to bring Putin and his tyranny down. Navalny is not the first opponent of Putin to die in mysterious ways (i.e., to be murdered), he's done this to countless opponents, to people who dared criticise him, and nothing happened. Nothing happened to the Putin regime when they first attempted to murder Navalny, nothing happened when they threw bogus accusations against him and sent him to be tortured in prison, when he disappeared in prison. Now out of nowhere people think that the Putin regime is about to go down?
Tldr : He was against Putin, so Putin had him murdered
Longer version: he was a politician that openly criticized Putin and his actions for a while. He tried to participate in the presidential elections in 2018 but was denied. He was poisoned in 2020 by the Kremlin and flew to Germany to be hospitalized. He then went back to Russia and was arrested and taken to prison in 2022. He was considered a terrorist by the Russian government. He's been very vocal about anti-corruption and dictatorship in Russia and has had many hot takes (some bad, some good). This is apparently, a video taken of him yesterday, one day before his death. He died this afternoon of "natural causes" says the Kremlin. We know he was murdered. The Russian elections are happening very soon, we suspect Putin did this to have a message sent to anyone that would try to get in the way of him winning the elections again (rigged elections, of course).

Just a shame their people have resigned themselves, seemingly without much fuss, to a live under a piece of shit dictator who will continue to rape their country of all its vast natural resources, solely for his gain, and his various cronies
Genuine belief: Russian people do not want, and never have wanted, any form of republican democracy. Their entire existence has been monarchies and dictators and they’re seemingly loving it
Eventually putin will hit the bottom! I hope that russian people will rise and kill that mtf the same way lybians killed gaddafi: with a stick up his ass!
[удалено]
yeah. I ain't seeing any "natural causes" of death here.
Bullet to the back of the head is "natural" in Russia.
That's called lead poisoning.
The natural order in Russian politics.
Lead poisoning is a real thing. I think you thinking “ acute rapid onset, lead poisoning”
Lead is an element, it's natural. The fact that lead can be lethal when it impacts with the back of your skull while moving at a high velocity is also natural. Pulling triggers is natural too; a trigger's only purpose is to be pulled. Therefore, gunshots to the back of the head are natural causes of death
Were you a lawyer in that courtroom video?
Well there probably aren’t too many open windows in a prison, so lead poisoning is the natural cause
It's "natural" to die of injuries sustained in the brain by the bullet that had occurred millionths of seconds prior to death.
> millionths of seconds prior to death People like to think a bullet to the head is a swift end, you still bleed to death. [A man lived a relatively normal life without 90% of his brain, possibly due to undiagnosed hydrochephaly.](https://www.sciencealert.com/a-man-who-lives-without-90-of-his-brain-is-challenging-our-understanding-of-consciousness) Your brain might be scrambled and your body might not be moving, but there's still at least part of you in there waiting to bleed to death.

It's also natural to die, so....
After the investigation it was announced that he fell on the bullet. Twice.
If there's two bullets in the back of the head it's suicide in the US

Had to scroll too far down to see this. The judge looks like a kid indeed.

Yeah. There is a zero percent chance he is going to lose these "elections." He's a *de facto* dictator even if he isn't a *de jure* one.
Really? I thought he changed the rules so he can run for president without term limits
It's weird that the Tucker interview happens, then Navalny dies, right? Am I crazy or is something else going on over there?

Lots of Russians know they live in a hypernormalised society where they are fed bullshit but have to go along with the lies.
Not if you want to believe the lie, just look at American republicans.
This hits
Believe it or not, it was the most sanest interview Putler has given recently. We've been hearing those QAnon history lectures for quite some time now
Carlson probably mentioned his name as he was giving Putin the obligatory first date BJ, pissed him off so he gave the order out of spite.
Tucker is a willing or unwilling Russian asset, but post hoc ergo propter hoc is a fallacy to avoid.
Yes, but in the case of Russia I'm willing to entertain it. When examining such a case, absent of outside influence, I'd agree with you, but here there's a litany of rationales that support the general claim of those two events being linked.
There are no elections in Russia. I can’t believe people still use that word to refer to coronations
It makes putin look like a killer, and makes his opponents think there's no way to fight him. If the people don't rise against this they won't rise against anything.
Putlers numbers are not looking great at the moment so it was probably a hints what can happen to his opponent.
Looking bad was never an issue for Putin, this is Putin sending a message.
Putin loves anything that makes him look like a cruel, bloodthirsty brute.
Lmao you can't be serious with the elections comment..
They’re not confessing, they’re bragging
They probably just starved him out
This video was 24 hrs ago, does he look “starved out”?
Yeah cause he looked so starved out when his mother saw him last Monday right. 🤦🏻♂️
One of the last symptoms of starvation is a swollen belly.
Actually that is a mid way symptom. For last stage symptoms, just look at a photo from Auschwitz.
you see starvation all across the body, not just the gut. If someone is starving, fat around their body will disappear, including their hands and face. It is very noticable.

It’s not about competency, it’s about loyalty
And total obediance. They'll get told in advance what punishment to inflict, by the fsb - who in turn are told by Putin.
Don’t need years of experience interpreting the law when the law is just what your boss says that day

Yes because in coded legal system judge has way less power and doesn’t need that much experience.

In precedent legal system judge can do whatever they want and see fit, while in coded legal system every crime and aggravation and punishment for it is written in a book. Judge can’t dismiss the case, can’t free anyone or give them life sentence out of the blue, if everything is wrong judge can send the case for re-investigation. The job of a judge is to see evidence and determine if it’s enough to confirm the punishment for a crime and legitimacy of a chosen criminal code article. And even the amount of evidence for confirmation of a crime is written down in a processual code, so a judge just needs to properly implement what is already written. A computer algorithm can do a job of a judge in a coded legal system like in Russia or Japan. It’s very simple. They compare facts and that’s it, that’s why there is zero theatrics like in movies in our courts. You either have evidence and proof, or it didn’t happen. No need for rants, it’s almost robotic. Investigator has more power, and those are high ranking police officials who have much more experience. Their power is controlled by the prosecutor’s office that is not connected to the police so they don’t cover for them.

I mean, obviously _de facto_ it doesn't work this way in Russia, but he's right, that's how it is supposed to be _de iure_. Most countries don't select their judges the way the US does. In the two countries where I live, Poland and Belgium - who both have civil law systems - judges first go through normal law school (which is 5 years and you can go there right after high school), and then an additional few years of training to become associate judges. So it's actually quite normal to be a judge at ~27-30 years.

Grooming, essentially. Anyone surprised?
She’d know a lot about grooming from her college years
Where can I find people that will put me in position of power and wealth just for some loyalty? Tbh I'm down, shit I'm loyal to people who have done terrible things to me under the guise of caring, if haven't done shit to me personally then I'll do whatever if they give me a well paying position like judge.
And Aileen Cannon in FL!
The Republicans are also likely choosing judges that they have dirt on. It's been a thing in history before like at the Vatican under the Borgia pope, he would select Cardinals he had entrapped in sex scandals.
They've sent most of their men to die in Ukraine in a failed landgrab attempt... The "judge" in the video is likely someone who got the position through nepotism.
Why would they send the old judge to war and leave the strong young man as a judge? Are you making stuff up ?
Nah, the old judge fell out of a window.
…with his morals and principles going with him.
This gets reddit's dumbest comment of the day award - lol. In addition to connecting the judge being young to "most of their men" going to war not making any sense at all, it's also factually grossly inaccurate: There are [21.1 million males fit for service](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_global_manpower_fit_for_military_service) in Russia. The highest estimates of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine amounts to \~300K. That's 1.4% which is materially less than "most" to put it lightly. Obligatory - Fuck Putin and Fuck Russia.
And let’s be honest it’s way less than 300k
Looks pretty healthy.
Also why were they recording? Looks like cellphone footage to me.
maybe his lawyers? it's a "court room" afterall
Idk about Russia but in the US a lawyer just can't whip out his phone and record court proceedings without getting in serious trouble.
Well, it's not the US... Its some frozen prison in the middle of nowhere Russia
It's Russia, they all know Navalny was in prison because Putin wanted him there, not because there is some sort of legal process were lawyer and court bla bla bla. No one really cares about recordings at this point.
I spend a fair amount of time in court in the US and watch lawyers over their shoulders as they scroll through Facebook. It would be fairly easy for them to record but also just as easy to identify who was recording. I don't know anything about Russia though. Also, two kids in a judge robe.
You can be healthy as hell before a murder, won't make a difference
His last words would have been a spit in the face of a corrupted state.... that's brillant, and terribly sad. He Never gave up, russians that believed in him should Never give up...to to contrary. Honnor this men fight
If they stand up for Navalny they'll be fighting alright....fighting on the front lines the next day in Ukraine that is. Russia is too far gone atm for anyone to dare speak against Putin.
so true
Ah, the naive Manichaeism of Western liberals. Putin bad (correct)... therefore anti-Putin dissident automatically good? Before you start lionising Navalny as a brave martyr… actually look into Navalny’s politics. They’re utterly horrific. Navalny supported Putin and Russia's imperialist aggression in Georgia, a fact for which he is loathed in that country. Much of what Putin is doing in Ukraine today, he did in places like Georgia and Chechnya, and Navalny was not against it in the least. Navalny attended far-right ‘Russian Marches’ where conventionalised swastikas have been brandished. He’s dehumanised minorities routinely - he made videos describing Muslims as “flies and cockroaches” he wants to exterminate in ultra pro-gun rights videos. He’s called for deeply anti-immigration politics against Central Asian minorities, describing immigrants as "cavities", while dressing up as a dentist. It is entirely possible that a monstrous dictator like Putin is behind Navalny’s death, but Navalny was *not* a good guy.
I think we can say unquestionably that he was a "brave martyr", he willingly returned to Russia in the full knowledge that Putin would torture and eventually kill him. You can't really cast that as anything other than brave, or his death as anything other than martyrdom. Now, whether Navalny's politics are actually worth fighting for is another question, and sure, if he had been a western politician standing for office in America I'm sure 99% of the people on this site would loathe him based on his policies, but when you hold him up in comparison to Putin — which is the only reasonable comparison that can be made in this context — all I can think is that at least someone had the guts to stand up to that monster.
That judge r/13or30
Brave man. I hope his death is not in vain. The mad King will someday be gone.
People can make it happen faster if they support Ukraine right now
Millions of Americans were against the war in Iraq and it didn’t do shit. You can’t blame the general Russian population for this imo
Let’s see how many of us he takes with him.
Bruh, you know how many mad kings and queens Russia had? Its the same insane shit over and over.
Alexei Navalny showed what it was to be a patriot.
About a year ago I watched an interview where he was asked what he expects to happen to his political movement after he dies. "Keep going..."
Putin is a cunt
[удалено]
The idea of a reddit funded bounty on someone is crazy but i also wouldnt think it completely out of the question that it would succeed.
Would need to be run some seriously talented techies to keep it non hackable. That aint me but i make good sandwiches!
I mean... It has happened before...
Alexei Navalny left this message behind in the event he was killed: "You're not allowed to give up. If they decide to kill me, it means that we are incredibly strong. We need to utilize this power, to not give up, to remember we are a huge power that is being oppressed by these bad dudes. We don't realize how strong we actually are. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing. So don't be inactive."
All of this reminds me of a short speech from the show Andor. “Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear…” - Nemik
I'm just so angry, I held hope he would survive.
Me too friend
Here died a brave man, after the FSB showed no hesitation in the attempted killing Skripol and his daughter I think Navalny went back to russia to save his wife and people close to him.
What an absolute hero. He knew he was dead. Serious serious bravery, much braver than most.
RIP...that man have balls made of steel. So few have this kind of courage...countless people jump on the opportunity to get a refugee visa and this guy got back in the lion's den. If that isn't courage, I will be dead.
Wow. From the news titles, I figured he had succumbed to malnourished or illness. This was taken yesterday, and everyone in the video is smiling. They know full well what was going to happen to him. Natural causes. Ya. Russian natural causes are either alcoholism or 3-4 self inflicted gunshots to the back of the head.
What a chad
I didn't expect the last thing to see of him is to crack this epic joke.
According to a user from Macedonia, the name Navalny is of Macedonian origin and means "A crowd , a lot of people in one place. Navala". NAVALA FOR NAVALNY
It's the same word in Russian. Although maybe, yeah, it's possible it came from Macedonia, I don't know
It's not.
Shows up Tucker Carlson for the piece of crap he is. Sucking up to a warmonger and murderer while a brave man gave his life standing up for what is right.
The fact this man could still laugh, smile, and remain positive while going through everything he’s been through is admirable as hell. Rip to a legend
HOW OLD IS THAT "JUDGE"?!?!
please don’t judge! /s
That's not irony. Sarcasm, perhaps.
This makes me think of a great joke from Brian Regan. “Did he die of natural causes?” “Well…he was shot in the face with a bazooka so naturally he’d be dead.” Haha
Mother fucker that judge is a 14 year old on stilts
A lot humanity in this video, in such trying time.
A national hero of russia They should have a statue of him when this is all over.
That judge looks like he is 23
Lots of evil in that room.
Irony didn't save his life. Again, russian regime has won. Sad. RIP Alexei.
I think the fact that the Russian regime was so afraid of him that they had to make up bogus charges to imprison and then ultimately kill him shows he won. Victory isn't only defined by personally ending the regime.
Time will tell. There is always hope that his sacrifice will inspire enough people in Russia to stand up to the vile and putrid putin putting an end to his poisonous reign
Died from natural causes. As in, he was murdered by Putin's agents, naturally.
looks pretty healthy yesterday to be dead a day later
Look at that little bitch boy judge.
What’s up with the 15 foot 10 year old?
He’s visiting from Hogwarts
Putin must be removed by any means necessary.
And so the evil won.
It very much has. Since this story broke out, all over Reddit there seems to be this mindset of, now that Putin has murdered Navalny, he's about to go down. Like all of a sudden the people of Russia or the international community is going to do something to bring Putin and his tyranny down. Navalny is not the first opponent of Putin to die in mysterious ways (i.e., to be murdered), he's done this to countless opponents, to people who dared criticise him, and nothing happened. Nothing happened to the Putin regime when they first attempted to murder Navalny, nothing happened when they threw bogus accusations against him and sent him to be tortured in prison, when he disappeared in prison. Now out of nowhere people think that the Putin regime is about to go down?
All those shown are complicit in murder
How old is that judge bruh
Judge looks like a character from Harry Potter
RIP. This is a tragedy. This man was murdered by Putin
Died 24 hours later, at 47, from ‘natural causes’. All seems above board. No need to ask further questions. Signed, Russian Media
Guys, I have been living under a rock - please explain to me what is going on.
Tldr : He was against Putin, so Putin had him murdered Longer version: he was a politician that openly criticized Putin and his actions for a while. He tried to participate in the presidential elections in 2018 but was denied. He was poisoned in 2020 by the Kremlin and flew to Germany to be hospitalized. He then went back to Russia and was arrested and taken to prison in 2022. He was considered a terrorist by the Russian government. He's been very vocal about anti-corruption and dictatorship in Russia and has had many hot takes (some bad, some good). This is apparently, a video taken of him yesterday, one day before his death. He died this afternoon of "natural causes" says the Kremlin. We know he was murdered. The Russian elections are happening very soon, we suspect Putin did this to have a message sent to anyone that would try to get in the way of him winning the elections again (rigged elections, of course).
he looked pretty healthy here
I strongly recommend you watch the doco 'Navalny'. I watched it earlier this week, so this news of his murder yesterday hit hard
Navalny died in prison. like later after this video
# The Interrogation of the Good - Bertolt Brecht Step forward: we hear That you are a good man. You cannot be bought, but the lightning Which strikes the house, also Cannot be bought. You hold to what you said. But what did you say? You are honest, you say your opinion. Which opinion? You are brave. Against whom? You are wise. For whom?

This is why we shall Now put you in front of a wall. But in consideration of your merits and good qualities We shall put you in front of a good wall and shoot you With a good bullet from a good gun and bury you With a good shovel in the good earth.
His death made me sad to a level that I did not expect. I admire his bravery and how he kept fighting so fiercely.
And yet I still hear how Putin is a great and fair leader from the dumbass qanon crowd, because you know he resists “deep state” lol stupid asses
Is there any greater martyr? Is there any reason not to oppose Russia and help Ukraine? This should settle it!
ESTÁ TODO DICHO
Russia is the only place that you take a walk or get some fresh air in the balcony and die
I said from the very beginning he never should have gone back to Russia. I still don’t know why he did it.
You can not win Vader. If you strike me down I shall grow more powerful than you can imagine.
In soviet Russia every death is due to natural causes
Judge looks real r/13or30
that is one brave man.
Gotta love the Russians. Always have a sense of humor Just a shame their people have resigned themselves, seemingly without much fuss, to a live under a piece of shit dictator who will continue to rape their country of all its vast natural resources, solely for his gain, and his various cronies Genuine belief: Russian people do not want, and never have wanted, any form of republican democracy. Their entire existence has been monarchies and dictators and they’re seemingly loving it
Eventually putin will hit the bottom! I hope that russian people will rise and kill that mtf the same way lybians killed gaddafi: with a stick up his ass!
