So is the basis of a “true” democracy something like dumber and less vigilant citizens? Or is it more like whatever “civilised West” is at any point in time?
Lol, I think that nobody outside of Russia has any belief that this was a free and fair election. I mean, even if you don’t count that Putin imprisoned his political ally and killed him.
Navalny was not killed by Putin. Navalny was not even liked that much in Russia. He had lower votes than approval rate for Biden and Trump. We could talk about Assange, though, if you want to get into that debate.
If he was so unpopular, then why did Putin try to assassinate him, then imprison him on fabricated charges with no intent to ever release him? Why couldn’t he just defeat him in a fair election and then ignore him?
Why the fuck are you posting US government website bullshit as a source on Russian affairs? I dare you to not call Russian government or media sites Kremlin/Putin affiliated, if I were to do the same for US affairs.
Also I consider US government and media sources invalid propaganda on politics that does not concern US.
Lol, okay. Wikipedia and Reuters are not US government owned or even US-based media sources, and the wiki article is well cited by sources all over the globe. The US state department posts are just there as a tl;dr to be honest. But sure, any source that doesn’t align with your personal narrative must be biased propaganda. I note you didn’t actually address the point.
Wikipedia is incredibly NATO biased, if you will. The admins are all pro-West shills that manipulate any historical or geopolitical reference or material in their favour, to “rewrite” history as the “victors”.
As for Reuters, almost all of Western media is connected to either Council of Foreign Relations, annual Bilderberg conferences, NED or Murdoch news network, all of which is pro-NATO propagandist neolib/neocon garbage. Reuters is one of them.

Are you saying Putin didn’t kill him just because he didn’t fall out of a window? /s

I love how your evidence for Putin trying to assassinate Navalny is just a bunch of western media parroting what US state department says. 😂
