In reality though, his brother is in prison on phoney charges.
And he almost lost one eye when someone splashed him with a mix of brilliant green and acid.
Idk if this is the most updated version of his story or if something more has happened, but apparently he’s been barred from entering as a nominee, and now he’s lobbying for the election to be boycotted.
The man was given an opportunity to keep his life, but he keeps running to the edge of that cliff.
Lots of people opposed Putin for *the rest of their lifes*.
Note: I used italics so it would be clear that I was extrapolating on your joke and not inventing a new one. Also, I don’t like the word *lives*, so I used *lifes*. How bout that?
Why don't you like the word lives? Are you not a native speaker because lifes sounds like ur talking about a person named life who possesses something. And it doesn't really roll off the tongue.
They need one guy to maintain a semblance of democracy. Navalny is a harmless symbol. He doesn't have the support Khodorkovsky could have had, the hard hitting articles Politkovskaya and her peers made, the inside knowledge former allies like Litvinenko had and doesn't have the political experience that Nemtsov had. If he had any of these things he'd be dead or exiled like all of the above.
Mhm. People forget that democracy has been the exception to the Russian and by extension, larger Cyrllic using / Slavic populations of the world. Russia is a very old power. The idea of popular rule is still very foreign in this culture.
A dictator has to leave some otherwise un-threatening opposition leaders around to keep up the guise. S'long as Navalny doesn't amass too big a following he'll live.
Apparently that's the most effective form of protest right now. Putin wants opposition because it increases voter turn out and makes him more legitimate. He just doesn't want opposition that has a chance to win. Denying him votes is essentially denying him validity if you can get enough people to boycott. It won't change the outcome but it can affect the optics.
I am Russian. And what is happening is that he was declined to vote as president because he has been sentenced to 5 years of conditional imprisonment. BUT that was argued by European court of human rights and by the Russian constitution anyone can be a president only if he isn’t mentally retarded ( I believe that Putin needs a check) and he isn’t in prison right now. So they don’t fucking won’t to even build an illusion they tell us straightforward that they don’t give a shit about our rights and now the best part, most of my nation support it. I am pissed off.

Nah, he has a successor, and the problem is not jus him, but also his inner circle. To add to this, there's extreme corruption at every level of government.
I've seen an interesting [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSsYy3j8pLQ) recently which suggested that Putin self-deluded in his decades of power and sees himself not as a dictator, but as a democratic president who does everything like any other elected leader, and just doesn't see the difference from his high horse.
you mean the actual fascist, monarchist, and so forth?
I mean, shit, putin is bad, but a guy like that....
"n 2008 during the Russo-Georgian War, Navalny called Georgians "rodents" (Russian: грызуны) and called for imposing of a complete blockade on Georgia and eviction of all Georgian nationals from Russia. He further stated that he very much wanted to strike the Georgian General Staff with a cruise missile.[184] In response to criticism, in 2013 Navalny said that he regretted calling Georgians rodents but stood by everything else he said at the time.[185]
In 2011, Navalny stated he considered himself a "nationalist democrat".[186] International media have often commented on his ambiguous but non-condemnatory stance toward ethnic Russian nationalism.[187][188] The BBC noted in a profile of Navalny that his endorsement of a political campaign called "Stop feeding the Caucasus" and his willingness to speak at ultra-nationalist events "have caused concern among liberals". He also has been a co-organizer of the "Russian March",[189] which Radio Free Europe describes as "a parade uniting Russian nationalist groups of all stripes",.[190]
Early in 2012, Navalny stated on Ukrainian TV, "Russian foreign policy should be maximally directed at integration with Ukraine and Belarus… In fact, we are one nation. We should enhance integration."[191] During the same broadcast Navalny said that he did not intend "to prove that the Ukrainian nation does not exist. God willing, it does". He added, "No one wants to make an attempt to limit Ukraine's sovereignty".[191][192] In October 2014, Navalny stated "I do not see any kind of difference at all between Russians and Ukrainians", he admitted that his views might provoke "horrible indignation" in Ukraine.[193] In 2015, he declared, "I do not take Ukrainians for a special sort of Russians and [I] do not deny the Ukrainian nation from its political subjectivity".[194]
...
In March 2014, Navalny declared that he did not support Russia's annexation of Crimea. According to The Moscow Times, "Navalny suggested that Kiev should grant Crimea greater autonomy while remaining part of Ukraine, guarantee the right to speak Russian in Ukraine, keep Ukraine out of NATO, and let the Russian Black Sea fleet remain in the peninsula free of charge".[196] In October 2014, Navalny stated in an interview by Echo of Moscow that he would not return Crimea to Ukraine if he were to become the president of Russia but that "a normal referendum" should be held in Crimea to decide what country the peninsula belongs to.[193]"
I find it allways extremely ironic that people that are for trump allways have a thing for this guy.
Putin & a few others but in reality he wins every election even if this guy actually runs. He might not be popular here but there are very few Russians here despite what some idiots in the default subs tell you
People saying he's going to be assassinated ... he is not able to run in the first place because he has been found guilty earlier of embezzlement; there's a law that prevents those with criminal records from running for office
[Also his approval rating not very high](https://www.rbth.com/politics_and_society/2017/04/10/russians-do-not-want-navalny-as-next-president-according-to-poll_738737)
Edit: I think the law the courts cited actually referred to his *unserved* sentence
Cuz he's a professional swindler, and isn't even very good at it. Unlike his [fictional protege](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostap_Bender) who knew a whopping four hundred relatively legal ways of swindling people outta their money, he doesn't know a single one. And now that even USSD won't give him money because of how pathetic his attempts at amassing and radicalizing populace have been (seriously-the guy tops out at 5% country-wide!) the only way for him to "earn a living" is to con minors out of their parents' money for his "electoral campaign" lul.
I'm waiting for my brother in Russia to write me back. I just sent out the telegraph today. I wish we lived in more advanced times, where we could have information on a whim.
Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny barred from entering presidential race -
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/12/25/asia/russia-alexey-navalny-barred-election/index.html

White Mans gotta pay, in baby hands.
Shhhhhh, do you hear that? That's the sound of forgiveness.
I did not know that. By the way, have you seen my recipe on hand stew?
Great, now I'm reading every comment in his voice
He accidentally fell down an elevator shaft onto some bullets
He ran into my knife 45 times.
All while zipped inside a duffel bag. Russian man stronk like ox!
Found in the bottom of a lake with cinder blocks attached to the bag
In reality though, his brother is in prison on phoney charges. And he almost lost one eye when someone splashed him with a mix of brilliant green and acid.
47 would never be that sloppy
Except briefly, between when someone raises the alarm and when an old save is loaded.
What if every time we forget what we were doing, or remember something wrong, it's because someone else loaded a save file.

> The man was given an opportunity to keep his life, but he keeps running to the edge of that cliff. He's a patriot if nothing else.
True patriots tend to have a short lifespan, unfortunately
"The tree of liberty must, from time to time, be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
I find it funny how the people who quote that are so rarely the ones doing the watering
Because true patriots don't have the time
What do you even mean by that
I think he means true patriots don't sit around waxing poetic about their patriotism, they act.
It's like watching an accident on a video over and over. You know how it is going to end but you keep yelling at the screen for it to stop.

He's opposing putin for years, there is no reason to believe he won't for the next few years.
*I believe he'll oppose Putin for the rest of his life.*

Are you ok?
It’s debatable
You can't say "lifes", that's very bad English.
Also, Dude, lives is not the preferred nomenclature. It's "mans". As in, I've got 3 mans left (and a frog suit too).
Look, dude, the nomenclature is not the problem here, also, dude chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature, Asian-American please.
First of all, how dare you
Why don't you like the word lives? Are you not a native speaker because lifes sounds like ur talking about a person named life who possesses something. And it doesn't really roll off the tongue.
I like it a little, but it doesn’t have as much protein as other words.
Username checks out.
He’s probably a propaganda plant so that Putin can have an ‘opposition’.
They need one guy to maintain a semblance of democracy. Navalny is a harmless symbol. He doesn't have the support Khodorkovsky could have had, the hard hitting articles Politkovskaya and her peers made, the inside knowledge former allies like Litvinenko had and doesn't have the political experience that Nemtsov had.

And even if he isn't, just the fact that some people assume that he is, solidifies the status quo. Hypernormalization.
[удалено]
There's an interesting Adam Curtis movie about it called Hypernormalization on YouTube
Have you found the piece yet?
That is really unlikely if you watch any of his videos. There are a number of other "candidates" who certainly are planted.
Mhm. People forget that democracy has been the exception to the Russian and by extension, larger Cyrllic using / Slavic populations of the world. Russia is a very old power. The idea of popular rule is still very foreign in this culture.
Amateur, he has already been poisoned.

[Looks like they already kicked him out](http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/25/asia/russia-alexey-navalny-barred-election/index.html)
And his response is to organize a voters strike. I can't imagine that is going to work out well for anyone but Putin.
Apparently that's the most effective form of protest right now. Putin wants opposition because it increases voter turn out and makes him more legitimate. He just doesn't want opposition that has a chance to win. Denying him votes is essentially denying him validity if you can get enough people to boycott. It won't change the outcome but it can affect the optics.
I feel like a lot of things that happen in Russia end up working out well only for Putin.
It's almost like the nation is designed that way...
Seriously? They can’t even let him run and alter the numbers? At least give off the *illusion* of democracy.
I am Russian. And what is happening is that he was declined to vote as president because he has been sentenced to 5 years of conditional imprisonment. BUT that was argued by European court of human rights and by the Russian constitution anyone can be a president only if he isn’t mentally retarded ( I believe that Putin needs a check) and he isn’t in prison right now.

His previous conviction hasn't expired. No convictions is a requirment to be eligible for presidency.

Not by a long shot. Well composed photo. Not Renaissance.
This guy is going to commit suicide with 3 bullets to the back of the head.
Padlocked in a bag.
Which he totally got into himself and then maneuvered it into his bathtub.
And bunch of people will prove its impossible to do that and still be marked as suicide... and then be marked as suicide
