As reported exclusively by russian sources at the moment, he lost consciousness after a walking hour and prison medics were unsuccessful in reanimating him, as per sources in УФСИН (government body regulating prisons and punishment). He was 47 years old at that time. The last time he was heard of he was moved from Moscow-based prison into the IK-3 named Polar Wolf, a penal colony located in a permafrost region near the town of Harp, where he found his end.

No other sources commented on that by now. At that time, there’s no independent proof of that or other explanations but the one given by prison authorities.

A fitting reminder is that presidential elections are to be held in 15-17 of March, meaning it happened exactly one month prior to them.

    Nope, that’s just a straw man you’re using. Nowhere did I say anything about murdering anybody. However, I’d love to know how you know he was murdered. The fact that you made up a claim and then accuse me of something I didn’t say says all I need to know about you.

      Your own source above states that he was the victim of a nerve agent attack. Are you going to claim that was just a coincidence or lying western media now? Do you honestly think anyone takes your comments seriously?

        The only person who shouldn’t be taken seriously is the one who thinks FSB couldn’t have killed Navalny if they actually wanted to.

          So the source you just used as evidence to prove your argument is now untrustworthy because it contradicts you? How convenient.

          Also a bit hilarious that you’re arguing that the FSB are such seasoned assassins that they always get their man while trying to claim that Russia wouldn’t try to assassinate someone.

            Imagine not being able to understand the difference between capability and intent. We have a serious intellect on our hands here.

              You mean like someone intending to make a logical argument but being incapable of it because they’re actually spewing propaganda instead?

              We should believe the parts of the BBC article that back your argument but not believe the other parts of the same article when they contradict you?

              We should believe that Russia has the best, most infallible assassins on the planet, but we should also believe that Russia would never try to assassinate someone?

              With such a weak, easily disprovable position, it’s pretty obvious why you so quickly shifted to ad hominem attacks rather than trying to defend your position.

        Yeah sure, FSB is so incompetent that they couldn’t figure out how to assassinate him in a state hospital and then for some reason let him go to Germany. Russians are the most incompetent assassins on the planet apparently. Meanwhile, he was 47 and had known health issues, so yeah it’s not at all unlikely your fascist friend died of a stroke or some shit.

          Considering how badly they’re getting slapped by a nation they dwarf, that’s a safe bet.

          for some reason let him go to Germany

          Like loads of Russian targets which were assassinated in European soil before, you mean?
