I'm curious what you think Navalny stood for, which you claim to totally support? Spoilers, he was an ultra far-right nationalist piece of human garbage.

I recently understood that he ‘flirted’ with the rightwing many years ago, but didn’t know he still was.

I know you're getting roasted in the replies, but this is absolutely what most reasonable people would assume given the media atmosphere in the west right now.

It's just that western media is generally an unquestioning megaphone for the desires of the US national security apparatus because they'll lose access to information sources if they don't.

It's always worth exploring information from other sources, especially when it's about foreign affairs.

A good strategy for this is:

Pick one country opposed to the West on a given issue
Pick one country that is neither allied or opposed
Search " top news sites"
Search the topic on a few of those sites. Translate pages if necessary.

I use an RSS feed reader, so when I find a source with English-language version of the site & an RSS feed, I add those to my geopolitics feed, tagging them by country and continent.
