Alexei Navalny’s mother has been unable to recover his body after his death in an Arctic jail, a close aide to the dead Russian opposition leader says. Navalny’s team believes the anti-corruption campaigner was murdered on the orders of President Vladimir Putin.

    They will never give him a grave where people can pilger to. They hate his guts and even more that people show empathy for his death. They will either somehow lose his corpse or burn it up because of “hygiene reasons” or some bullshit. Maybe they will fly him somewhere and then shoot the plane down, like it is their newest shtick. You know, the russian way of lying and covering up.

    Conservatives have a natural instinct to oppress and murder normal people. The normal people who call it out are top targets. The people who mourn those murders are the next targets. This is all part of typical conservative oppression.

      Conservatism at its foundation is about control, so they ultimately rely on force to control other people

    Do we even have proof that he’s actually dead?

        They could return his body to his family for one. I’m just saying it would behoove Russia to be able to move this guy around free from scrutiny and claiming that he had died would be a way to do that. I’m not saying the he’s alive but I also haven’t seen evidence that he died apart from their assertions that he did

          There’s no evidence, but what you’re saying is highly unlikely for too many reasons.

            That’s happened since this conversation took place. The body has also now been turned over to his mother

          I just wanted to shine a spotlight on how untrustworthy Russia is imho.
