"No Doubt" That Alexei Navalny Was Killed, Says Masha Gessen

More than 400 people have reportedly been detained in Russia for publicly mourning the death of Alexei Navalny, who died in an Arctic penal colony on Friday at age 47. He was the most prominent critic of Vladimir Putin in Russia and was serving a 19-year sentence at the time of his death on “extremism” charges. U.S. President Joe Biden and other Western leaders directly have blamed Putin for Navalny’s death. Prison authorities say Navalny died of “sudden death syndrome,” but his family has not yet been given access to his body to allow for an independent autopsy. For more, we speak with Russian American writer Masha Gessen, who charts Navalny’s political evolution from an ethnonationalist libertarian tapping into “xenophobic discontent” to an anti-corruption activist promoting a vision of civic nationalism. “I have no doubt … that he was killed,” says Gessen. “Putin was determined to see Navalny die in prison.”

Navalny was a CIA and MI 6 asset. The West poured a lot of money into him. He was NOT popular in Russia. 56% of Russians disliked him. 18% liked him. You can see his racist videos where he calls Central Asians ‘insects’ and Georgians ‘rodents. Navalny was a traitor put there by the West to overthrow the government. He was NOT starved. He went on a hunger strike and had heart failure. He was never poisoned. I am surprised you have not done your homework on this. I do not subscribe to you anymore on KPFK in LA. Everyone watch the interviews between Judge Napolitano and Scott Ritter and Alexander Mercouris analysis on this. They speak the truth. Amy it is NOT Putin’s regime. Putin was elected and has 86% popularity. SHAME ON YOU AMY. You should give equal time to those who experienced Navalny in Russia. Just 14, 500 people follow Navalny in Russia. Yale is a place where CIA trains assets! Hysteria over this but not over Gazans.

Navalny survived an extremely dangerous poison attack which kept him in a coma for 6 weeks. I am guessing this made his health somewhat frail to begin with (disclosure: as a physician in an unrelated field, my expertise is limited). In prison he was subjected to harsh conditions such as exposure to cold and starvation. There was also a period during which Navalny refused food as a form of protest. Therefore, I think it is safe to assume that his health, including his immune system, continued to deteriorate. Under these conditions, even relatively easy to treat medical problems can quickly become life threatening. For example, he might have caught a viral infection turned bacterial pneumonia, received inadequate treatment, and died of septic shock within days. In sum, when you are killing someone in this way you cannot always choose the timing.

@@glmx778 thank you for your perspective. This is something I have been thinking as well. Surviving the nerve agent poisoning must leave severe consequences. And death due to blood clots can be a ticking bomb. Of course if Putin wanted Navalny to survive he would have been given house arrests or sent to a prison somewhere with milder climate and conditions. But the refusal to release the body and conduct an independent autopsy could indicate poisoning. Putin has had many opponents and critics killed, but the timing of this death seems quite inconvenient for him.

President Putin is popular in Russia and is getting popularity ratings that your demented president can only dream of. President Putin is the greatest world leader today. Stop watching the lies of main stream media because Ukraine have lost the Special Military Operation and four regions in Donbas are Russian territory. That's a fact.
