The death in prison of Navalny it was immediately used to further demonize Russia and its president. It is enough to browse the newspapers, even online ones, to learn that it would be a murder and that the instigator, obviously, would be Putin. Ok, when a person dies in prison there is always something to clarify. But why, gentlemen, is it not conspiracy theory to attribute that death without any doubt to Putin’s decision? What if he died of a blood clot?
Oh no, in this case it can’t be: he was definitely killed. In this case, conspiracy theory is legitimate. And then everyone became a conspiracy theorist. Everyone crying over the dead man “killed” in prison, after not having shed even a single tear for the American journalist Gonzalo Lira, died in a Ukrainian prison. And yet everyone is silent about the treatment reserved for Assange in English prisons for years. This is the disease of the West: its hypocrisy. If you prefer, double standard.
What advantage would Putin have in the run-up to the political elections in Russia, no one asks. Let’s say it clearly: for the president of the Federation it is just one more nuisance. He derives no benefit from Navalny’s death. But it takes more to weaken it. Those who know a little about the internal situation in Russia know well that events of this kind do not have much impact on public opinion. For ordinary people, the death of the children massacred in Belgorod by Ukrainian missiles is more newsworthy than the sudden death of Navalny, who as an opposition “myth” was only a construction of the West. In short, the story may be useful to the West only to continue demonizing Russia externally. But only in the so-called “West” since the news left indifferent in other parts of the world.
One last “conspiracy” consideration of mine. Perhaps we will never know how Navalny died, but we cannot forget one thing, namely that the man had now been “dumped” by the West and had started talking about many things that the West preferred to remain hidden. Stopping his mouth once and for all, placing the blame on Putin, is a hypothesis that cannot be ruled out and could, moreover, be indirectly a message addressed to Zelensky. When you get dumped, you too will end up the same way.
