Скачать или смотреть Alexei Navalny died suddenly in an Arctic prison

On February 16, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died suddenly in an Arctic prison. This video dissects its strange timing. Although much of the media coverage has speculated that this was a warning to other opposition elements, such theories fundamentally misunderstand the risks entailed when autocrats run elections. Instead, the timing is strange because it risks creating a new rallying cry for those looking to protest against the Kremlin. It also created an unfavorable news cycle in the West, as it buried headlines regarding Ukraine's withdrawal from Avdiivka.
