Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is dead, the prison service of the Yamalo-Nenets region where he had been serving his sentence said on Friday.
Navalny most certainly wasn’t stupid. He understood what he was getting into when he got on that flight back to Russia. My guess is that he hoped his arrest and detention would spark an uprising, which sadly didn’t materialize.
I would not have made the choice he did, but I’m also not as brave as he is. Fuck Putin.
I don’t think Navalny believed any resistance would be mounted for him - he might have had hope but I don’t think he counted on anything. I think he chose to go back knowing he would likely die. He chose to be a martyr to maximize the effect he’d have.

Then it seems like he really didn’t understand what he was getting into.
Brave, but not stupid.
It was self-martyrdom—self-immolation.
The only thing Навальный did not expect was just how long it would take Путин to crucify him.
Now, at last, Путин’s fate is sealed, and by his own hand.
Just like Israel, if the IDF pushes half of Gaza into Egypt.
Just fyi, I wouldn’t use the Cyrillic spellings like that because you haven’t conjugated them correctly so it just looks like you’re trying to seem more knowledgeable than you are of the russian language. But you also spelled the midget’s name wrong its “пидарас (pee-da-ross),” have fun triggering orcs with that one =)
I didn’t know хуйло fell out of fashion. Pidors may come in many shapes and forms, while хуйлуша is this one exact disgusting person. Let’s be precise in our despise.
The English “pedarast” is not a great translation.
Not vulgar, or like, swear-wordy enough.
Doesn’t capture the Russian connotations.

I use the Cyrillic spellings to better reflect pronunciation. I don’t give a fuck about Russian’s totally fucking insane grammar. I know Russian grammar. Only too well.
The first two are actually right. Both are nominative singular.
Only “Путин’s fate” is wrong. If I were to respect Russian grammar, but again, why?, it would be “fate Путина”.
Nobody else knows or cares how Cyrillic is pronounced versus the language the rest of everything written is. You’re just confusing people, especially if you don’t care about proper grammar to match your capricious language hopping.
I appreciate your saying that, and your desire to be respectful of people’s names. You had good intentions. I hope you have a great day.
Edit: Why are all you jerks downvoting the dude for saying sorry? Do you want to discourage people from apologizing? Because that’s how you discourage people from apologizing.
It is not respect for the language. It is the minimum amount of respect every person gets when addressed by their true name. Even Путин deserves to be called by his true name. Though that is really all he deserves.
Haven’t these people read 1984? They don’t just kill you. They torture you until you say what they want to hear, and they keep you under close watch until the public forgets where you are. Then they kill you.
Easy to say now how stupid some decision was. Much more difficult to remember circumstances and agree that the person somewhat adequately calculated risks but above all made the only possible decision to continue his fight. Check out their movie.
RIP Navalny.
I remember him flying back from Germany to Russia after the poisoning. Watching Ricky & Morty with his wife.
Very brave, but incomprehensibly stupid.
If ever there was a person who had a justified claim to political asylum, it was him.

There’s the polite and shy version of пуйло or хутин .
Thanks for mentioning it, but I don’t feel like I’m a polite or shy person talking about him (:
But I do immensely enjoy the ironically homophobic joke. Homophobic jokes are appropriate when making fun of a country of homophobes.
How did you get a homophobic joke from a pederast?

I disagree with this. Using a characteristic of a person as a slur harms all people with that characteristic.
“Stupid” is a characteristic of stupid people. Do you disagree with its usage as well?

That’s a funny clip but let’s be kind to each other. They were trying to be thoughtful in their own, admittedly unique, way

Were you confused by what I had typed?
Yeah, so much so that I had to tell you about it in that last comment I wrote.
Yes, I see. I’m sorry. I really thought it would be pretty clear what each Cyrillic name meant, even to people who had never read Cyrillic before.
Looks like gobbledygook to me.

I certainly was, it’s like you [redacted] didn’t want us to [redacted] but instead [redacted] you were saying about [redacted]. Get it?
Why respect the spelling and pronunciation but not the grammar? Seems kinda arbitrary.

Exactly what happened
It wasn’t stupid at all. You missed the whole point of you actually think that
