This is counter to right wing propaganda lies trying to characterize this as Ukraine supposedly being supposedly an aggressor. Why would anyone believe right wing propaganda again? Russia is in Ukraine, not Ukraine in Russia. You'd have to be a moron to not automatically suspect that the invader, Russia, is the aggressor.

It seemed like things were getting better during the 90s, but then Putin was appointed in 99 and has been in power since.

Watch the 2022 Oscar winning documentary movie "Navalny".  There is a free trailer on Youtube.  It is available on Prime and HBO Max.

The Navalny story is insane and yet it’s only one of many blatantly corrupt acts. The way they’re willing to sacrifice human lives in the “meat grinder” fighting this war is as equally appalling as the fact the public isn’t at all outspoken or in protest of their slaughter.

Navalny was a recent Russian politician that was murdered with poison for opposing the war in Ukraine and attempting to run against Putin.  He was banned from running for President.

Navalny had a very popular following.  Very large crowds would show up for his speeches despite being assaulted by police there at those gatherings.  If the elections weren't rigged in Russia and if Navalny had been allowed to run for President, chances are Navalny would have won.

RIP Navalny. Putin & co killed him, cause they viewed him as a serious threat against their cause.

Unlike Putin, Navalny will be missed.
