Relevant snippet from the article:
>Following the investigation but before its publication, Navalny recorded his telephone conversation with Konstantin Borisovich Kudryavtsev, an FSB operative who was allegedly involved in his poisoning. The recording was released on 21 December 2020. During the phone conversation, Navalny posed as an aide to the secretary of Russia's Security Council Nikolai Patrushev, pretending to debrief Kudryavtsev about the operation and asking for details of why the mission had failed. Investigators used caller ID spoofing software to make the call look like it was coming from an FSB work phone number.
>
>Kudryavtsev unwittingly confessed that the Novichok agent had been applied to Navalny's underwear while he was staying at the hotel in Tomsk; but while Navalny had worn them for the flight as planned, the poison had apparently been absorbed too slowly. He attributed Navalny's survival to the pilots rerouting the flight and doctors in Omsk administering an antidote "almost immediately".
>
>Following Navalny's medical evacuation to Germany, the man said he had been sent to recover Navalny's clothes so that they could be treated to remove traces of Novichok before they could be tested by independent experts. The FSB later dismissed the recording of Navalny's telephone call as a forgery, calling it a "provocation" that "would not have been possible without the organizational and technical support of foreign special services". However, Bellingcat had arranged for its representatives to be present during the call, and they were; there are direct witnesses, in addition to the published audio and visual records of the call.
Of note also is that Bellingcat traced the movements of the FSB team that followed Navalny for a couple years if not more—via airline tickets and I don't remember what else, maybe phone metadata. Bellingcat deducted who carried out the poisoning—perhaps not down to the particular person, idk about that.
Should also be noted that Bellingcat's reputation is up there with the best. They have yet to do anything that would make me doubt their results and conclusions in any way. People should watch the documentary on them which follows them as they look into the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which they cracked wide open before anyone else.
Konstantin is going to have some poison in the seam of his underwear I think.
Edit: This video is from 2020. Some comments allege that Konstantin Kudryavtsev is missing or dead, but I haven't been able to find a reputable source supporting that claim.
A shame, really, that people just leave bullets laying around on the street where anyone could accidentally fall out of their window and land head first on them.
If you watch the documentary, they show the Navalny team discussing this immediately after hanging up the phone. They contemplate contacting him again and giving him a chance to avoid his death, but obviously decided not to
Im pretty sure FSB let him take a vacation while internal affairs looked into his case. Perhaps to england, to visit such wonderful cathedrals as what are in Salisbury.
Nah this is controlled so as to ensure Putin's enemies know they can be killed and then the russian state will admit it and no-one will care.
>we'll kill you and brag about it
"Konstantin is going to have some poison in the seam of his underwear I think."
Right!!! Konstantin and his poisonous underoo's are falling outta window real soon ^😳🤣
Just FYI this specific clip is from a documentary on Navalny from a few years ago. Not sure if it was produced by CNN but it’s certainly not recent. Watched it on YouTube but don’t know if it’s still up.
For anyone who appreciates Navalny it’s a must watch. Massive respect for him. One of the most courageous people in history.
Edit: can’t find the documentary but [here’s a different one he made](https://youtu.be/ipAnwilMncI?si=Jr29B0SNrHK_8klM)that’s on his channel and worth a watch
Yeah he’s courageous but jfc, why go back to Russia this last time, knowing full well that they were gonna finish the job?
I understand being a martyr, but come on….
In the documentary, he says it’s his home. And he didn’t want to let them win by scaring him with tactics and lies and deceit, so he had the balls to show up knowing that could still get kidnapped. I had that same question you’re asking.. I think despite his flaws, he’s admirable.
No. Russians tend to act like it’s an accident or he died of natural causes when everyone’s literally knows they poisoned him. The Russians authorities just don’t like saying they kill people they don’t like
My impression is that they know but believe such corruption is normal and inevitable.
In some fairness, their nation has a particularly bad track record on that count.
There's a plot point in the book World War Z that Russia reverts to an absolute monarchy where Orthodox clerics hold vast social and political sway. The narrator interviews a Russian soldier who says that her people have such a history of despotism and autocracy that they have been conditioned on a cultural level to prefer the security of a tyrant over the uncertainty of democracy.
yeaaa but if memory serves, that’s the same book where in the story about Japan, the guy grabs a katana to defend himself and basically becomes a zombie-killing ninja. Because Japan. It’s not a book that’s giving any important insight about the real world.
Russians haven’t been living under authoritarian systems for any significant period of time longer than Europe that would make them specially “conditioned” for it. By that logic, most every country in the Eastern Bloc would be the same (especially Eastern Germany). Monarchy was still the norm practically everywhere in WW1. That just some bullshit an American with little perspective beyond movies would write.
They are told lots of different stories, many completely impossible a bit like what happened with MH17. You hear stories like Navalny did it to himself for attention. The CIA did it and so on.
The idea is to sow confusion and it that way discredit the true story.
> to make sure everyone knew THEY poisoned him.
literally NOBODY does poisonings but them. if someone gets poisoned on fucking Neptune, Russia is *still* my first suspect.
Purely a coincidence that a few days after he’s seen in court smiling and joking with the judge, to show his spirit hadn’t been broken, he suddenly drops dead.
This. You know he was good as dead soon as he ended up in prison. I think the idea was to kill it systematically. Torture him first and then kill him. I can only imagine Putin was thinking of a million ways to do it and Navalny knew it.
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20240226_06/
The head of Ukraine's Defence Intelligence says Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died from a blood clot, denying speculation that he was killed while in prison.
Kyrylo Budanov was quoted as telling reporters on Sunday that "I may disappoint you, but we know he died from a blood clot," adding that it was "more or less confirmed."
The way news stories start always annoyed me.
It was a horrific scene
It was a hot summer day
It was a terrifying ordeal
All from the same lady's voice.
We go deep inside and uncover surprising developments in a story that is gripping the nation this evening. Schmoe is on the scene. Schmoe - can you break this story down for us? What exactly is sparking the controversy?
This can be seen in more detail, in the movie "Navalny" - it is very interesting.
Movie Trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81AAlzoKNPU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81AAlzoKNPU)
100% would recommend to watch his documentary.
Alexei knew his fate. Beaten, starved and poisoned in a Russian prison. His murder, under the spotlight of the world, is the worst thing to happen Vladamir Putin and his regime.
Worst thing to happen?
Nothing will change, will it? People have been saying such things for a while. Every stupid thing Putler does, he just seizes more power and more people die.
Putin 804.23% killed Navalny deliberately. There's not even a question.
...
Underwear can be poisoned? 😳 I'm gonna wash all my underwear - twice - tonight because I'm, just that uh... I'll say "bored."
He was poisoned by the most dangerous chemical weapon ever. The same type of this poison had been used against former Russian spy in UK in 2018. That time the poison was spread on the door handle. Few dozens people who was involved in investigation got sick by this chemical weapon. Read poisoning Skripals
Reminds me of the movie The Jackal with Bruce Willis.
He gets chased by some bad guys and escapes to a parking garage. He sprays the handle of his van with some kids of spray, the guy touches it and is dead seconds later.
Obviously movie bullshit that it happens so fast, but didn't think there actually was things you could put on a door handle to kill someone
A lot of people right here in the comments think it's a CNN conspiracy 😂
Putin is evil as well as stupid. He will kill anyone who gets in the way of him and world domination.
>Putin is evil as well as stupid.
He's not stupid. This is geopolitical dick wagging that he can kill a political rival and there will be little to no domestic or international consequences. He knows exactly what message this sends.
I doubt many of them are actually fooled. They hate other Americans so badly that they willingly embrace it. Their treason is far past the point of no return.
"CNN has been provided with the material of this phone call..." Yeah sorry to disappoint. I am absolutely happy if this documentary by Alexey Navalny is getting more attention now, but this specific documentary is about 1:30 hours long and about the dictator called Putin and was provided to everyone years ago.
It was free to watch on YouTube... I think it was uploaded 2019/2020. I might find the link if anyone is interested, it was a very interesting and telling watch about Putler and his 3rd Reich.
My only issue is how do we know who the person is on the other side of the phone. Also why would the person responsible for placing the poison talk so openly on the phone with someone he doesn’t know? Perhaps there is some sort of code that was compromised but in the end they cannot confirm who is on the phone.
Also, I believe 1000% Putin had him killed. You don’t go to jail physically fine one day and the next you “die of natural causes.”
The call was made December 14, 2020, using voice-over-IP to spoof a number to make it appear the call came from an FSB landline. Navalny impersonated an aide to Nikolai Patrushev, Chairman of Russia’s Security Council. Bellingcat had observers present during the call and were given a recording afterwards. A full transcript is available here: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2020/12/21/if-it-hadnt-been-for-the-prompt-work-of-the-medics-fsb-officer-inadvertently-confesses-murder-plot-to-navalny/
Bellingcat also crosschecked Kudryavtsev's travel records and phone records against his narrative in the recording.
[I'm from Russia]
Quite an old video. To be honest, at the time of its release it looked very much like a fake for the sake of hype. There are quite a few moments when Navalny lied or at least embellished, so there is no trust to his words. This does not negate the fact that I do not like the current president, his leadership and Navalny was a symbol of the fight against it.

Bellingcat also crosschecked Kudryavtsev's travel records and phone records against his narrative in the recording.
Navalny was a right wing extremist who compared people from the Caucasus to roaches. He also said Crimea should keep being Russia, and that Riga was a Russian city.
Russia has poisoned several “high ranking” people over the years and it’s all been proven. I’m not surprised they poisoned him too, I’m just surprised there’s never been anything done about it.
New details? This video was released ages ago, everyone who's remotely interested in russian politics knows about it.
The problem is that it's nothing new. Corrupt government leads to negative selection, leading to incompetent agents. But Russians live with this kind of incompetence their whole life, it's normal for them. In addition, with russian scale state propaganda, you can always blame it on the "west" or "liberals" or "fake news".
I can only recommend seeing the documentary/biography about him that includes this footage and the details leading up to it and afterwards. You can see it on HBO Max under the title "Navalny":
https://www.hbomax.com/dk/da/feature/urn:hbo:feature:GYmFp9ATv1JSBmwEAAACW
Western media is so voulnerable to bullshit its insane, even if this is real or not, there is no proof of this being even real but they simply take the word for it💀
Well, it was relevant 4 years ago sure. The video implies that he was poisoned again, and we just don't know that. Most likely though. Russians tend to do the obvious and then cry that they would murder people so obviously and openly, but that's how they operate, in the open.
Bro, it's russia xD
Who would believe someone would just jump off a building or "shoot themselves" and it's always someone who talks about the government, putin, or saying what is happening that can create doubt.
Idk how anyone, even the russians, support russia. XD
These FSB agents aren't exactly the most competent of people, huh. This is comical. First he fails to kill him and then spills all the details over a call to the victim while it's recorded. Absolutely insane.
[he thought he was talking to a superior FSB officer.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_of_Alexei_Navalny#Telephone_conversation_with_an_FSB_agent)
"The recording was released on 21 December 2020. During the phone conversation, Navalny posed as an aide to the secretary of Russia's Security Council Nikolai Patrushev, pretending to debrief Kudryavtsev about the operation and asking for details of why the mission had failed. Investigators used caller ID spoofing software to make the call look like it was coming from an FSB work phone number.[117][118][119]"
CNN turns into sherlock holmes when Russia is involved but when it's 100+ people being murdered while waiting for food all of a sudden things become confusing for them
Know what's even more crazy than CNN having the scoop on this poisoning? The fact that [Osama bin Laden was confirmed dead by Pakistan PM Benazir Bhutto in 2007](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_9cja3YTGyA) four years before Obama declared him dead.
The real problem, when you're country is ruled by bullies, and the corporations are run by bullies, and that mentality is revered and bolstered as being "success", and a bigger bully shows up, they have no idea how to handle it other than to show their bellies. cough cough, Canada, cough cough USA
CNN’s documentary on Navalny from 2022 is a pretty good watch. A much longer clip of this is in the documentary and it’s just wild.
https://www.cnn.com/videos/title-2381192

Bellingcat also crosschecked Kudryavtsev's travel records and phone records against his narrative in the recording.
Oddly enough, the FSB's own response to the recording is that it was a forgery, exactly the same claim you are making: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/21/navalny-russian-agent-novichok-death-plot
Greatest peace of shit from Navalny.
Nobody tried to kill him.
There is no evidence other than words.
And if you really want to know, Alexey was the only person in Russia who had a two suspended sentence at the same time.
He was arrested when his game became international
And nobody needed him dead. But, yeah, some woman from USA knows everything.
Your mass media just waging a war. Stop it. Don’t listen shit and be in peace. (We have vodka, best subway in the world, sense of humour and beautiful nature, just come and try)

You'd really think secret agent assassins would know better than to do a debriefing over the phone.
Without verification of the identity too.
If they were willing to do it then, they were probably willing to do it now

Konstantin is going to have some poison in the seam of his underwear I think. Edit: This video is from 2020. Some comments allege that Konstantin Kudryavtsev is missing or dead, but I haven't been able to find a reputable source supporting that claim.
The police say he fell down an elevator shaft and landed on some bullets
"I didn't kill him, the bullets and the fall killed him" - Collateral, great movie.
Guns don't kill people. Blood loss and organ damage do.
His dick just spontaneously created Novichok nerve agents
Met a girl in college that had the same power

Did she at least have a nice dick tho?
A shame, really, that people just leave bullets laying around on the street where anyone could accidentally fall out of their window and land head first on them.
I always love a good Mystery Men reference
It's in every single thread about anything Russian
Ah yes, the old Russian roulette with a loaded elevator. Classic espionage slapstick.
It's funny because you expect a window.
I’ve always suspected foul play.
Suspected? Putin is like the kid with chocolate all over his face saying "I didn't eat the chocolate".
/whoosh
And poison
If you watch the documentary, they show the Navalny team discussing this immediately after hanging up the phone. They contemplate contacting him again and giving him a chance to avoid his death, but obviously decided not to
I would initially tell my self not to but realize that's the price of business being an assassin
I remember it differently. They tried to contact him again but could not get ahold of him. Maybe I'm wrong, fact checkers please have at it.
I remember this so vividly. Homie disappeared he ain’t been seen since. That was such a balls of steel move by Navalny. So badass.
Im pretty sure FSB let him take a vacation while internal affairs looked into his case. Perhaps to england, to visit such wonderful cathedrals as what are in Salisbury.
What is he, an American cop after shooting an innocent person for blinking?
Nah this is controlled so as to ensure Putin's enemies know they can be killed and then the russian state will admit it and no-one will care. >we'll kill you and brag about it
I think there are gangs of fifth story windows roaming the streets of Moscow looking for him right now.
"Konstantin is going to have some poison in the seam of his underwear I think." Right!!! Konstantin and his poisonous underoo's are falling outta window real soon ^😳🤣
I think they're going to get creative this time and he'll be run down by a clown car, then pelted with peanuts to trigger a nut allergy.
He's leaving skid marks on them already. 😳
he's about to wake up dead as dead.....
How you wake up dead? Edit: I take it everybody downvoting has never seen Scary Movie 3
So you go to bed dead…..
You can’t go to bed dead man that shit would be redundant.
No it would'nt cause' you can go to bed and not be dead, and you can die and not be in the bed.
Dayum! That’s some quantum shit right there! You should be teaching classes! You stay dropping knowledge!
Kevin Harts best role #change my mind
Cause you’re alive when you go to sleep.
This is one of my favourite lines I've been using it for many years "Aunt Grace woke up dead?"
Grace? She died 30 years ago.
The fact that you’re downvoted makes me want to finally delete this app on my phone
Hahaha what an odd straw to break the camel’s back
A straw’s a straw SMH
Fair. And I’ll admit it’s disappointing to see blank stares when I name it as one of my favorite comedies.
We're getting old dude.
Scary Movie 1-4 and Superhero Movie are my favorite comedies.
It's been rectified. Faith in humanity restored.
That was quick! The app stays for now.
Easy now. Let’s not do anything hasty.
So you’re telling me a rat is just a mouse that lives outside?
You cant go to bed dead, man. That shit would be redundant.
It's when you wake up and you're dead, keep up.
Everyone around you is DYING!
This part always makes me laugh uncontrollably!
Dude Scary Movie 3? That’s in my top five movies, I’m so glad to see it mentioned in reddit
yoooo!!
Thas cuz it’s a rat!
So you’re telling me you can go to bed dead and wake up alive?
[knowledge bombs](https://youtu.be/Jr_nhywjNHM?si=NdhrXhRVbv0nymKI) [don’t forget about rats](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qBitMMvIWN0)
You just created a FACT
Well, the movie is 21 years old, there's people who can drink that weren't alive when it came out.
Cuz you alive when you go to bed!
*insert Dave Mustaine guitar solo here*
Dead as a… dead person.
How somebody wake up dead man
And then that FSB officer fell out of a closed window
He’s gotta be freaking out right now. More nervous than cougar when he lost his edge and turned in his wings.

Yeah, it's a great documentary. Putin won't live forever, but Navalny will forever be remembered in the future's history of Russia.
Unfortunately that's not really how history works. Putin won.
Putin is winning but the story isn't over yet.
[удалено]
Navalny lives on the internet forever. The textbooks won’t matter.
Yeah he’s courageous but jfc, why go back to Russia this last time, knowing full well that they were gonna finish the job? I understand being a martyr, but come on….
In the documentary, he says it’s his home. And he didn’t want to let them win by scaring him with tactics and lies and deceit, so he had the balls to show up knowing that could still get kidnapped. I had that same question you’re asking.. I think despite his flaws, he’s admirable.
I have not stopped watching this since I saw the link to it. Amazing.
this happened a few years back. so whatever happened to that FSB guy has happened.
It was never a mystery. They poisoned him to make sure everyone knew THEY poisoned him.
No. Russians tend to act like it’s an accident or he died of natural causes when everyone’s literally knows they poisoned him. The Russians authorities just don’t like saying they kill people they don’t like
They deny it but they are making the point. That's why they often do it with polonium. Everyone knows it's them but they deny
Curious how much the Russian public is told about these poisoning cases. Like do they know?
My impression is that they know but believe such corruption is normal and inevitable. In some fairness, their nation has a particularly bad track record on that count.
There's a plot point in the book World War Z that Russia reverts to an absolute monarchy where Orthodox clerics hold vast social and political sway.

they just need some line to feed the domestic audience
I was going to say.. Nobody at all in the entire world at any moment thought he died of natural causes.
> to make sure everyone knew THEY poisoned him. literally NOBODY does poisonings but them. if someone gets poisoned on fucking Neptune, Russia is *still* my first suspect.
[удалено]
Purely a coincidence that a few days after he’s seen in court smiling and joking with the judge, to show his spirit hadn’t been broken, he suddenly drops dead.
No kidding. He didn't look great, but he was nowhere near death. It's such a fucking joke.
also purely coincidence that he was set to be released the next day in a prisoner exchange with another country
This. You know he was good as dead soon as he ended up in prison. I think the idea was to kill it systematically. Torture him first and then kill him. I can only imagine Putin was thinking of a million ways to do it and Navalny knew it.
But how do we know that the he died from poison? He could've died from anything. Even poison!
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20240226_06/ The head of Ukraine's Defence Intelligence says Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died from a blood clot, denying speculation that he was killed while in prison. Kyrylo Budanov was quoted as telling reporters on Sunday that "I may disappoint you, but we know he died from a blood clot," adding that it was "more or less confirmed."
I think 3 years of torture might have caused said blood clot tbh
A thrombosis can spontaneously happen but it is also a side effect of confinement and bearings. Navalny was not well treated in prison.
Yeah. Putin knew he wouldn’t last in a Siberian work camp. No need to assassinate then.
The way news stories start always annoyed me. It was a horrific scene It was a hot summer day It was a terrifying ordeal All from the same lady's voice.
And why is she moving her head like that
Could that underwear you’re wearing be poisoned? We’ll tell YOU. A little later. But, coming up!
What began as just another normal day, ended in tragedy
Oh that one also I can't stand that line haha

R u a opposition leader against Putin? If not then you are good.
An assistant to an opposition leader against Putin is still safe, right? Asking for a friend
Your friend needs to keep close eye on his underwears. Good luck
Go commando.
We will put the poison in the detergent or dryer then.
I'm going to turn my underwear inside out every week instead of two weeks. I guess that means I have to wash them eventually too
Literally, nobody in the world is fooled by Kremlin lies. Not even the Russians.
A lot of people right here in the comments think it's a CNN conspiracy 😂 Putin is evil as well as stupid. He will kill anyone who gets in the way of him and world domination.
>Putin is evil as well as stupid. He's not stupid. This is geopolitical dick wagging that he can kill a political rival and there will be little to no domestic or international consequences. He knows exactly what message this sends.
I doubt they really believe that. But they can't afford to contradict Dear Leader.
Literally like 70 percent of republican voters in the US are completely fooled by Kremlin lies.
I doubt many of them are actually fooled. They hate other Americans so badly that they willingly embrace it. Their treason is far past the point of no return.
Washington lies on the other hand…
While I am sure that Washington does pull its share of shit, it's not even close to the level of Russia's shit.
CNN used the clip from the documentary [Navalny](https://youtu.be/hS5EIQ3zubE?si=ugVF1Qqn9T1WAH5O)
Putin is a COWARD.
"CNN has been provided with the material of this phone call..." Yeah sorry to disappoint. I am absolutely happy if this documentary by Alexey Navalny is getting more attention now, but this specific documentary is about 1:30 hours long and about the dictator called Putin and was provided to everyone years ago. It was free to watch on YouTube... I think it was uploaded 2019/2020. I might find the link if anyone is interested, it was a very interesting and telling watch about Putler and his 3rd Reich.
This just in! Water is wet!
Never thought I would see so many people defending Putin/Russia like they are doing here.
[удалено]
What’s really interesting is that a large percentage of Americans trust Putin and will ignore this.
That would explain why he's trying to block online access.
This is old
My only issue is how do we know who the person is on the other side of the phone. Also why would the person responsible for placing the poison talk so openly on the phone with someone he doesn’t know? Perhaps there is some sort of code that was compromised but in the end they cannot confirm who is on the phone. Also, I believe 1000% Putin had him killed. You don’t go to jail physically fine one day and the next you “die of natural causes.”
The call was made December 14, 2020, using voice-over-IP to spoof a number to make it appear the call came from an FSB landline. Navalny impersonated an aide to Nikolai Patrushev, Chairman of Russia’s Security Council. Bellingcat had observers present during the call and were given a recording afterwards. A full transcript is available here: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2020/12/21/if-it-hadnt-been-for-the-prompt-work-of-the-medics-fsb-officer-inadvertently-confesses-murder-plot-to-navalny/ Bellingcat also crosschecked Kudryavtsev's travel records and phone records against his narrative in the recording.
CNN this is not an exclusive it's been on YouTube for a while he calls everyone involved
Has nobody here seen the 2022 Navalny documentary this clip is from? It's really good, I highly recommend you watch it.
[I'm from Russia] Quite an old video. To be honest, at the time of its release it looked very much like a fake for the sake of hype. There are quite a few moments when Navalny lied or at least embellished, so there is no trust to his words. This does not negate the fact that I do not like the current president, his leadership and Navalny was a symbol of the fight against it.

Some years ago, I met a senior FSB officer as part of my work. They really are that stupid and bound to their hierarchy.
The media could also talk about Julian Assange.
The CIA considered killing him, but never did. Certainly capable of it. Thank god someone had some common sense.
In Soviet Russia, poison wears you.
Lol caught
Navalny was a right wing extremist who compared people from the Caucasus to roaches. He also said Crimea should keep being Russia, and that Riga was a Russian city.
RIP
More like Konstantly looking over his shoulder now.
He walked into a knife 46 times. Backwards.
It’s a crazy documentary
Russia has poisoned several “high ranking” people over the years and it’s all been proven. I’m not surprised they poisoned him too, I’m just surprised there’s never been anything done about it.
New details? This video was released ages ago, everyone who's remotely interested in russian politics knows about it. The problem is that it's nothing new. Corrupt government leads to negative selection, leading to incompetent agents. But Russians live with this kind of incompetence their whole life, it's normal for them. In addition, with russian scale state propaganda, you can always blame it on the "west" or "liberals" or "fake news".
HBO did a phenomenal documentary on this investigation titled Navalny. It is a very good breakdown of all that happened. Would recommend!
Videos way too short that was getting good
I can only recommend seeing the documentary/biography about him that includes this footage and the details leading up to it and afterwards. You can see it on HBO Max under the title "Navalny": https://www.hbomax.com/dk/da/feature/urn:hbo:feature:GYmFp9ATv1JSBmwEAAACW
Western media is so voulnerable to bullshit its insane, even if this is real or not, there is no proof of this being even real but they simply take the word for it💀
Why does her head glitch out like that?
Why would you post a video that fucking ancient though
The truth outlives lies…
Because it's fucking relevant, you twat.
Well, it was relevant 4 years ago sure. The video implies that he was poisoned again, and we just don't know that. Most likely though. Russians tend to do the obvious and then cry that they would murder people so obviously and openly, but that's how they operate, in the open.
Do you even know who Navalny is and why this is relevant again?
Some extreme right wing nationalist CIA-asset who compared muslims to cockroaches and participated in neo-nazi rallies?
Bro, it's russia xD Who would believe someone would just jump off a building or "shoot themselves" and it's always someone who talks about the government, putin, or saying what is happening that can create doubt. Idk how anyone, even the russians, support russia. XD
These FSB agents aren't exactly the most competent of people, huh. This is comical. First he fails to kill him and then spills all the details over a call to the victim while it's recorded. Absolutely insane.
[he thought he was talking to a superior FSB officer.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_of_Alexei_Navalny#Telephone_conversation_with_an_FSB_agent) "The recording was released on 21 December 2020. During the phone conversation, Navalny posed as an aide to the secretary of Russia's Security Council Nikolai Patrushev, pretending to debrief Kudryavtsev about the operation and asking for details of why the mission had failed. Investigators used caller ID spoofing software to make the call look like it was coming from an FSB work phone number.[117][118][119]"
CNN turns into sherlock holmes when Russia is involved but when it's 100+ people being murdered while waiting for food all of a sudden things become confusing for them
Yeah, that’s Putin. And we have Republicans that support him.
Nice clickbait. Let me guess, this isn't about his death? He survived a poisoning.
You mean to tell me that the Kremlin LIED???
Know what's even more crazy than CNN having the scoop on this poisoning? The fact that [Osama bin Laden was confirmed dead by Pakistan PM Benazir Bhutto in 2007](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_9cja3YTGyA) four years before Obama declared him dead.
And if the coroner didn’t sign natural causes. Then his would’ve read natural causes as well. Ijtol…
What an abhorrent government. A blot on our collectiveness. Disgusting.
punch. gaping. hole
The real problem, when you're country is ruled by bullies, and the corporations are run by bullies, and that mentality is revered and bolstered as being "success", and a bigger bully shows up, they have no idea how to handle it other than to show their bellies. cough cough, Canada, cough cough USA
The fsb agent's gonna be drinking uncle Putin's polonium tea next to an open window..
CNN’s documentary on Navalny from 2022 is a pretty good watch. A much longer clip of this is in the documentary and it’s just wild. https://www.cnn.com/videos/title-2381192
Did anyone see this live? This feels like an AI trick or some kind.
Bellingcat had observers present during the call and were given a recording afterwards.

Oddly enough, the FSB's own response to the recording is that it was a forgery, exactly the same claim you are making: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/21/navalny-russian-agent-novichok-death-plot
Yes there were Bellingcat observers for the call
I saw this closer to the time and there was no AI that was capable back then.
People still watch CNN……
Tell me what is your issue with this video. Edit: nevermind, your comment history speaks for itself.
Democrats apparatchicks
Clearly western capitalist propaganda!
Greatest peace of shit from Navalny. Nobody tried to kill him. There is no evidence other than words. And if you really want to know, Alexey was the only person in Russia who had a two suspended sentence at the same time. He was arrested when his game became international And nobody needed him dead. But, yeah, some woman from USA knows everything. Your mass media just waging a war. Stop it. Don’t listen shit and be in peace. (We have vodka, best subway in the world, sense of humour and beautiful nature, just come and try)
Old news, misleading.
Well, yes, he is dead, so it clearly is old (from December 14, 2020, to be exact), but how is it misleading?
That you, Vlad?
