Russian leader accused of ordering Navalny’s death to stop him being exchanged for FSB hitman serving life sentence in Germany
Alexei Navalny’s allies have alleged that Vladimir Putin had the opposition leader killed in jail to sabotage a prisoner swap in which Navalny would have been exchanged for a convicted hitman jailed in Germany.
Maria Pevchikh, a close ally of the opposition leader, said in a video that Navalny and two US nationals were in line to be exchanged for Vadim Krasikov, a Russian FSB security service hitman who is serving a life sentence in Germany for the assassination of a Chechen former separatist in Berlin.
“Navalny should have been free in the next few days because we had secured a decision to exchange him,” Pevchikh said. “I received confirmation that the negotiations were at their final stage on the evening of 15 February.” Navalny was reported dead on 16 February.
he never shied away from nationalism. he’s closer to a nazi than you’re letting on.
The problem with your statement is that you assume a certain kind of nationalism. While he was only going for solving problems for Russians.
Governments who implemented visa requirements for immigrants are closer to nazi than him I guess.
you’re suggesting he proposed dropping visa requirements?
I also want take a moment to say hey, I like you. you’ve been more cordial and communicative than almost anyone who has disagreed with me on this topic
He proposed to implement them basically, for citizens of countries much poorer than Russia, to properly regulate who comes, stays and gets jobs. How it already works in any European country or the US.
I oppose those policies everywhere
You oppose something that works everywhere? Will you say current Russia’s immigration policy has more benefits for the country than such policy of the rest of the Europe?
I’m not intimately familiar with any of their immigration policies, but as an anarchist I seek to abolish all borders.
I see. The world without borders is cool but it will only work nicely if every person is educated to understand that being a decent human being is beneficial for them.
Being a decent human being doesn‘t require an incentive. In fact if you try to be a decent human being because you expect it will be beneficial to you, you will probably fail
