The prankster Navalny I’m already moving on to Navalni businesseven if dark, in the stories written from prison. In a dated entry January 17, 2024that is, barely one of mine Before dying, he admitted his frustration at the difficulty of making his compatriots and interlocutors, in particular the prison guardsthe reasons for his return to Russia after the poisoning, to one country permanently subjected to a brutal and poisonous propaganda that has inoculated the population cynicism Yes conspiracy theories: “There are no secrets or twisted meanings… I do my country Yes my beliefs; I don’t want to give up my country or sacrifice it; If your beliefs mean something to you, you must be willing to defend them and make sacrifices if necessary.
On the occasion of second anniversary of the Ukrainian war, Navalny, criticized in the past for having defended him ultranationalist positionsunequivocally condemns the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army and the urgent need to repair the damage caused to the neighboring country. According to the blogger, the “real reasons” why the Kremlin leader started the war are his desire to “maintain power at all costs” and “his obsession with historical legacy”, as he wants to “move to story like himconquering the tsar‘ and ‘collector of Russian lands’.” Instead of waging wars, he believes that Russia “a huge country with a declining population” should aim to “conserve” its population and “develop” what it “has in abundance”, that is, territory.
