A new illustration of how postcolonial dogma is used to distort Navalny's legacy and the truth of his life. Acknowledging Navalny's heroism is not to privilege 'the voices of ethnic Russians.' It is to listen to the voice of a persecuted dissident who spoke for millions. 1/7





@peterpalmer901 @advokytsya @RG_Horvath OK, there’re numerous proofs of him being a nationalist and a bigot. Any proofs he actually tried to fight against the war? Maybe there’s a record of him not being of imperialistic views?



It’s as if the Biden foreign policy team see dealing with Russia in Ukraine as a significant but ultimately limited problem relating just to Russia, which can eventually be solved by some kind of compromise peace agreement.



I've seen many more comments re: the @NewYorker Navalny cover than the actual content of his prison diaries. Here is what he says about the prospect of dying in prison. "So what if that comes to pass? Worse things happen." His example? The war against 🇺🇦: newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…


Just one potential scenario is that with Moscow getting weaker and losing too much money and manpower in Ukraine in the future, one of Putin’s governors/officials from within the system will realize he can proclaim some sort of “people’s republic” and go unpunished. 4/13
