What tectonic shifts will Navalny's death lead to?
The recent report from the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia announcing the death of Alexei Navalny has reverberated both within Russia and on the international stage. Navalny, a prominent opposition figure, passed away in a colony located in the village of Harp in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug on February 16th. His detention at Sheremetyevo airport in February 2021 upon returning from Germany, followed by a subsequent 19-year prison sentence handed down by the Moscow City Court on charges of creating an extremist organization, had drawn widespread condemnation and protests both domestically and abroad.
The circumstances surrounding Navalny's death have sparked intense debate and speculation. In the program "Difficult question," political commentator Rauf Mirkadyrov delves into the ramifications of Navalny's demise, positing that it was not merely a matter of happenstance but a deliberate act of murder.
Mirkadyrov dismisses the notion that Navalny's death serves the interests of certain factions seeking to sow confusion within Russian politics. Instead, he suggests that responsibility for Navalny's demise lies squarely with those orchestrating his execution, pointing to a pattern of targeted attacks against dissenting voices, reminiscent of the poisoning of former GRU officer Sergei Skripal.
The Skripal case, in which Skripal and his daughter were poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent, serves as a chilling precedent. Mirkadyrov underscores the unconventional nature of Putin's response to perceived threats, suggesting that Navalny's death could be construed as a message to both domestic dissidents and foreign adversaries.
Speculation abounds regarding the potential implications of Navalny's death. While some anticipate significant political upheaval, Mirkadyrov remains cautious, suggesting that Navalny's demise may not catalyze dramatic shifts but could serve as a signal of Putin's increasing assertiveness and dwindling hopes for rapprochement with the West.
Putin's brazen disregard for diplomatic norms and international condemnation, as evidenced by Navalny's treatment and subsequent death, underscores a growing sense of defiance. Mirkadyrov suggests that Putin's actions may be driven by a desire to assert Russia's power and autonomy in the face of perceived Western encroachment.
As Russia grapples with the aftermath of Navalny's death, questions linger regarding accountability, justice, and the future of dissent within the country. While Navalny's passing may not precipitate immediate change, it serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing opposition figures in Russia and the enduring legacy of political repression in the country.

Nemçovun ölümü hansı daşı tərpətdisə elə Navalnının da ölümü o cür olacaq. Bir sözlə daşın altında qalıb getdikcə unudulub itib batacaq))

Ничего не будет, российская власть сумела выдавить из страны всех мало мальски демократично мыслящих и прежде всего интеллигенцию , честных предпринимателей , а оставшихся превратить в послушных, зараженных шовинизмом людишек, готовых скорее помереть за идею фикс - великую Россию, чем встать на защиту попираемых своих прав ...Россия как была в 19 веке *немытой страной рабов, страной господ* так и осталась, где традиционно к двум напастям- дуракам и дорогам прибавилось жизнь по *воровским понятиям* и моральная пустота...

Çingizin yazdığı rəydə əlavə şərhə ehtiyac qalmır və mən verilən rəylə tam razıyam. Bunada əminəmki, Rusiyada heç vaxtı və heç bir tərzdə Avropada olan demokratiya və insan haqları bərqarar ola bilməz. Buna onların genetikası imkan verməz.
