Hi Vlad! Sorry if I'm detracting from the Navalny issue, but there is a topic that I would like your opinion on. I recently watched an interview with Robert Kennedy jr, who is in the race for the US presidency this year. He stated as a fact, what I had always thought was an unproven theory, that the Maidan revolution in Ukraine 2014 was a CIA-instigated coup, with the new Cabinet being decided on by Washington, before the new election had even taken place. He claimed that this was a known fact among Washington politicians, and that there are documents to prove it. IF that is true, wouldn't it, as much as we may dislike it, prove Putin's claims right that today's Ukraine is in fact a US puppet state? And then, it would not be so clear anymore who is in the right? Since the US basically destroyed a russia-allied government? We might not like this perspective, but I think it is important to adress.
A man willingly walked into hell so others might take example from him and find courage in their souls! I really hope Navalny's sacrifice won't be in vain and his legacy will be remembered by Russians. But do i believe it will happen? Sadly no, mostly probably he will be forgotten in dusty history books nobody reads anymore. We became too corrupt to follow such great examples while only caring about our own self-interests, nothing else. And it is not even only Russians, everybody, so called ''humanists'' trying to defend Ukraine against Russian invasion while at the same time same people are supporting Israeli invasion somehow! Human values are still subjective in 21st century even according to ''liberals'' and they act like an Ukrainian is more important than a Palestinian literally blatantly, and millions of people watching are like that makes sense! We lost the war for humanity, men like Navalny never had any chance as the era belongs to wicked and the worst of us will prevail...

0:53 It hurts me to see someone genuinely laugh and then, seeing a camera, immediately show a frightened face.😢 This is exactly what we are fighting against. *We will be stronger than fear.*
Tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people have had a personal connection to Navalny. He wasn't just a politician - he was an influential political celebrity, among the first and the biggest Russian politicians with a major media presence. We saw him touring Russia, hosting youtube streams, and growing his influence on the internet.
Yeah this is the act of a scared man who is always looking over his shoulders. Putin knows what the road he's taken leads to. At some point Russian people will have enough, no human beings stay abused for long without hitting back
@@tomdh8394 , have you seen his photos? Huge beer belly, tits, he was not even close to a healthy man even before prison. Also, i don't believe in this poisoning story, because you wouldn't call his lifestyle healthy. People are constantly dying, i saw a 22 years old man died from a heart attack. But you just keep repeating blindly this narrative your media told you.
@@gggtttfffooo.. lol your so American with your ingorant mentality... they live in Russia... you're in a crowd that is mocking outin... all those people are likely dead... in america you get likes and shares when you make fun of president. In Russia you get buried
What consequences? This is not Putin's first political murder, and neither will it be his last. Putin started murdering people before he even took office. And other than the sanctions and military aid post-22 no murder and no invasion ever had any meaningful consequences for Putin. It's almost like we non-russian outsiders trained Putin for this behavior, precisely because we accepted it all, expecting cheap gas, nickel and fertilizer in return.
@@raimobrunning3657he did in the past for pragmatic reasons. now he can basically just go all-in with what he wants to do. he already broke every tie with the west, and Biden is weak so he knows there will be almost no consequences to what he does.
It's worth remembering that Hitler was willing to sacrifice Germany and all the Germans rather than admit defeat. The Japanese militarists had the same mindset. Expecting Putin to be any different is naive.
"What do you think about the suspicious death of Navalny?" Russian: "I don't have anything to say about it, I lack knowledge about politics and the society, our authorities are very intelligent to deal with this matter. And I'm ok with my life."
Yes. Although personally, i believe that many know and understand, they just fear to say anything against the system. They think it will not change anything but will ruin them. Fear is a disease, and Russia is beyond saving.
@@falconeshield no I think many of us are just disillusioned with politicians it won't change our lives of nothingness especially as looking for a job or even did is increasingly more difficult
Had a chat with a guy in our local Ukrainian help-group yesterday. He talked about a Soviet lady he had known many years ago. She, happy to have found peace and freedom in Sweden, despised the corrupt Soviet regime, the dictatorship, the terror, the lack of freedom. But now, 50 years later, she was upset that all broadcast channels had banned RT in Sweden.
This has made me sick. Watched Zack the Russian's livestream a few hours ago, and you're spot on regarding reactions in the Russian Federation. Blaming the CIA, banning demonstrations, and forbidding reports. Though demonstrations occurring in Belgrade, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and elsewhere where Russian émigrés abound.
This is the raw truth. How blessed we are in the west to have the option of choosing this analysis vs other. Protect democracy and freedom of speech at all cost.
You thought? Do you mean an actual brain activity? Maybe you should think, why would Putin even bother to kill Navalny, since he was already in prison and had 0 political influence in Russia?
Russians who oppose Putin cannot do anything in the political space that will change anything, voting and demonstrations are useless. All they can do is surreptitiously engage in behaviour that undermines the state. Anything that can cause disruption to the apparatus of state control, passive or active, without getting caught.
Navalny always gave the impression he was free even when shackled. He gave the impression of being the only free man in Russia. What courage and determination.

They may take away his body, but they will never take away his freedom.
He may have died of natural causes, or even been killed by western services. There was no reason for Russia to kill him now. Plenty of reasons for the west to do it.
Brilliant update Vlad! Thank you for sharing your intellect on this with us so quickly! My stomach turned when I read the news about Mr. Navalny - may his courageous soul rest in power and may the Russian people wake the fuck up and fight back against Putin and his ilk AND may the West wake the fuck up as well!
The telling detail~1:20 of the man at the rally turning to see who is filming him. The constant drain of having brain space occupied by that awareness that being filmed might be lethal
1991 provided an opportunity for the West to peacefully coexist with Russia 🇷🇺,but instead of working honestly and openly to deal with its shattered political and economic space,they chose to exploit her by quickly privatizing its national assets leaving the citizens to their faith,so how can a people that have experienced this kind of robbery want to have anything to do with those who were responsible for it.
@@giacomoneri1782 He hides in the shadows of his authority and power.. He doesn't face his political opponents with honor and respect. Says a lot about his character. People who idolize him are idiots.
😥 This makes me so sad, that I feel pain in my heart💔 He was such a lovely human being. Thank you Vlad, I hope you are doing well and take care of your self. Peace, Love and Happiness to you dear Vlad.
I watched the video of him in court a few days before this happened. . . He looked fine and was cracking jokes with the courts. Interesting that Putin has immunity and this is what certain Americans want for their president. . . 😮
Ask any American wearing the stupid red hat what a dictator is and they would have no idea. Their understanding of history is nil, their understanding of politics is shallow. All they need is a red hat and someone shoving a sign into their hand and telling them when to clap, when to cheer and when to breathe and that describes the mental acuity of too many Americans
this was a hard video to watch, Vlad. As usual, I agree with every one of your curated, well architected and most eloquent statements. it's always a pleasure to be able to listen to you, and this is a really sad day for Russia, and what Russia could have been. I believe this will backfire, and history will signify the importance of this day. RIP Navalny, my heart goes out to his family, friends and everyone whom Navalny meant something to, wether he was a beacon of hope, or an alternate reality of what could have been.
One question I have about Navalny's return to Russia: did he go in order to be a martyr? He could not have imagined any other outcome from his actions. He still knew he had to go.
Brillant Vlad. Truly brillant obituary/commentary. A perfect obituary can be penned if one has 10 or even 20yrs to cogitate on it. But less than 12hrs later to produce this is exceptional. I hope like newpaper obits you didn't have it ready! Even though, as you say, it wasn't a surprise. RU and thus, the West's loss. Great work - superbly done - with new camera angels and dramatic music! Navalny's production crew would be impressed :) A fitting tribute to a modern communicator. Bravo.
I was afraid when he was missing in december, looking everyday for news, first thing in the morning. This really was a shock yesterday, it still feels unreal. I hope this is the beginning of the end of the murderer. rest in peace
Hi. I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news. But, if you are located in Alaska, the Russians want your land. What will you do about it? Will you flee in fear or will you stand and fight?
@alexpotts6520 If Russia tries anything on Alaska, Putin and all of his cronies would be hunted to the ends of the Earth by US special forces, and the US military would turn Moscow into an irradiated crater. And that's not a hypothetical, its a reality. Look what happened when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor for reference if you want an example of when a country even thinks they can try to mess with US territory and the peopke that live there.
All those zombies, who could not be politicized by (the living) Navalny, might finally be politicized after/by his death? Would love to see that but it sounds mostly like wishful thinking. (btw: Prigozin had been forgotten even faster than I thought).
To your American audience who might not follow Soccer (European 'football') - an 'own goal' is when your own player inadvertently scores a goal against their own team.
Navalny was a hostage of Russian extremists who posed as state representatives. While held hostage, he was isolated, tortured and murdered. It's sad, we're sad, we're Navalny but not hostages. We recognize, see through, fight and overcome tyranny in memory of this attractive, free and courageous man, father, son and above all, human being.
I will never forget that moment in 2021 when Navalny, ignoring the sham trial happening around him, drew a heart on the glass of his cage for his wife Yulia. Navalny sacrificed everything in his fight against autocracy and cynicism. We owe it to him to keep fighting, however we can and wherever we may be. Rest in peace Mr Navalny.
Alexei Navalny was a human being. No human is perfect. But what he stood for is what will always resonate with everyone who believes in Democracy and Freedom. Vladimir Kara-Murza is in the same situation, and he walked into the lion's den the same as Navalny.
No; Putin wants compliance, and to kill one to frighten a thousand is nothing new. He's up to his elbows in it already, and the Black Tulip Express is in service. Navalny was a dead man walking to as soon as he was imprisoned. So, the shock power of his passing is minimal. People will have chosen where they stood as soon as Navalny was taken off the board.
This is a great video, Vlad. Two questions / requests: 1. Could you elaborate regarding the distinction between mere activism and genuine political activity, please? The distinction is still unclear to me. What criteria must actions satisfy to be properly called political? 2. Historically, what was Gorbachev's vision for Russia / the Soviet Union? Excellent choice of closing music, BTW. Really chilling. What's the name of the piece, please?
Thank you, Vlad. What a blow! It is heartbreaking and beyond me why Putin did that. Why does he act openly so brutal and unjust while trying to come across as the victim or even the good guy?
Let's not forget: 1. Navalny called Georgians 'rats' and wanted to expell them and bomb Tbilisi in 2008. 2. Navalny called Ukrainians "khohols" and opposed returning Crimea to Ukraine 3. Navalny 'debated' the internationally wanted war criminal girkin-strelkov
I wanted to bring to your attention that I found out that I was unsubscribed from your UA-cam channel. I have been a subscriber for over a year, but for the past few months, I did not receive any of your new videos unless I specifically searched for your channel. I had to resubscribe today to start receiving your content again, and I want to clarify that you are not the only UA-camr that this has happened to.
Hi Vlad, Firstly, thank you for your work. A few quick notes. A courageous man, a man who returned after being poisoned, knowing the stakes and consequences, was slowly tortured in prison, and then killed. He was incredibly important in mobilizing a certain segment of the younger generation, and even if he failed to politicize the Soviet-minded lump, at the very least it made their internal compromise more difficult. The courage it took to do this works was immense. His team did it because of his character and commitment. His loss, while in some way inevitable, once he made the decision to return (unless the regime fell beforehand), is nonetheless remarkably tragic. Tragic because it represents an a certain end. Tragic because he left behind his wife, and two children. Perhaps at times like this, it is best to take 48 hours off from deep analysis, and to simply acknowledge the tragedy in simple, humane, and sincere words. Humanity, vulnerability, and some space for grief, will only make the beautiful community stronger. Lev

Hi. I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news. But, if you are located in Alaska, the Russians want your land. What will you do about it? Will you flee in fear or will you stand and fight?
Exactly, that was my question too!…What do you think about the war in Ukraine?…If Ukrainians are not able to protect their country WW3 is inevitable!!
@@anthonykarem As long as they're still in NATO they should be fine...
@alexpotts6520 If Russia tries anything on Alaska, Putin and all of his cronies would be hunted to the ends of the Earth by US special forces, and the US military would turn Moscow into an irradiated crater. And that's not a hypothetical, its a reality. Look what happened when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor for reference if you want an example of when a country even thinks they can try to mess with US territory and the peopke that live there.
All those zombies, who could not be politicized by (the living) Navalny, might finally be politicized after/by his death? Would love to see that but it sounds mostly like wishful thinking. (btw: Prigozin had been forgotten even faster than I thought).
RIP Navalny - the martyr to his cause.
To your American audience who might not follow Soccer (European 'football') - an 'own goal' is when your own player inadvertently scores a goal against their own team.
Putin tends to be rather good at that maneuver.
So putin didnt do it? Who did ?
0:54 lol that kid looked at the camera like "Oh no, they got me on video. They will ruin my life now..."
Good catch
Courage will make you free
The ghost of Navalny will rise.
Dream on
What is life, without dreams?@@spartanleo5121
Navalny was a hostage of Russian extremists who posed as state representatives. While held hostage, he was isolated, tortured and murdered. It's sad, we're sad, we're Navalny but not hostages. We recognize, see through, fight and overcome tyranny in memory of this attractive, free and courageous man, father, son and above all, human being.
An amazing analysis.
Thank you.
So sad. RIP Mr Navalny. You will be missed.
Gutted, unconsolable. Sobbed when Yuliya spoke in Munich.
There is one lesson Nawalny himself said in case he were to die..."Don't give up"...and I add... "Don't give in"!
I wonder if Vladimir Kara-Murza will survive the next few years 😢
My first thought after hearing this news was about Kara-Murza who've been poisoned twice. All of this is so devastating...
Not a chance. His health was already poor due to being poisoned, and according to Bill Browder, his condition continues to deteriorate.
Navalny is the President Russia should have had, Putin senses his time is growing short so he’s making sure his nemesis won’t profit from his demise
Rest in power, mr Navalny. May your sacrifice not be in vain.
Thank you, Vlad! Incisive and long seeing analysis as always!
Hope you’re well!
His courage reminds me of Nathan Sharansky.
They knew each other...
Natan has Alexey's letters from prison...
Thank you Vlad for making this Video , i Hope you doing well ,
greetings from Austria
I'm guessing that you had this one ready to go considering how quickly you got it out! Good health to you sir!
No didn't have anything ready! But I knew what I wanted to say so this could be done much much more quickly
@@VladVexler That does make sense, as you say it wasn't a surprise.
Always appreciate your vids. Thanks so much.
Thanks Vlad , I'm so upset, but you at least add meaning to his life and demise
0:55 that double take when he realized. Hope he's OK.
Russian history is a never-ending tragedy and it does not look like it will change
I will never forget that moment in 2021 when Navalny, ignoring the sham trial happening around him, drew a heart on the glass of his cage for his wife Yulia.
Navalny sacrificed everything in his fight against autocracy and cynicism. We owe it to him to keep fighting, however we can and wherever we may be. Rest in peace Mr Navalny.
Well done, good report
Alexei Navalny was a human being. No human is perfect. But what he stood for is what will always resonate with everyone who believes in Democracy and Freedom. Vladimir Kara-Murza is in the same situation, and he walked into the lion's den the same as Navalny.
😢 thank you for your insights
🇬🇧🇺🇦🏴🇺🇦🏴🇺🇦🇪🇺
Oh God! Just hearing about it here.
question: was the timing of his death intentional to serve as a strong signal for the march election? Sort of a "i'm still the big boss" message
No; Putin wants compliance, and to kill one to frighten a thousand is nothing new. He's up to his elbows in it already, and the Black Tulip Express is in service. Navalny was a dead man walking to as soon as he was imprisoned. So, the shock power of his passing is minimal. People will have chosen where they stood as soon as Navalny was taken off the board.
I am pretty sure it was a message saying "anyone else wanting to take that route be my guest".
Think so, too @@troelsersking101
He was a racist that engaged foreign spy agencies to overthrow his government, he then died of a blood clot while in jail, END OF STORY
This is a great video, Vlad. Two questions / requests:
1. Could you elaborate regarding the distinction between mere activism and genuine political activity, please? The distinction is still unclear to me. What criteria must actions satisfy to be properly called political?
2. Historically, what was Gorbachev's vision for Russia / the Soviet Union?
Excellent choice of closing music, BTW. Really chilling. What's the name of the piece, please?
He will forever be an example of hope and courage. We have to carry his memory on, and follow the message he died for.
Great video. Very informative and well done.
i'm not Russian but never the less it is infuriating to watch Putin get away with blatant murder
we are , arent you ?@@chance2929
I find the side camera angle odd. It makes more sense to look directly at the camera when you're talking.
We all expected this but neverless its heartbreaking..
It would be so sick if the far right would stop blocking aid to the Ukrainian armed forces.
Thank you for your voice.
I lived through apartheid. The conditioning of a repressive regime takes a generation to eradicate.
It has been 100+ years in Russia
keep it simple when we listen to you. This is what makes it big
I dont know how this event will change things, but I feel like something enormous has happened. It is as if a tectonic plate has slipped.
Thank you, Vlad. What a blow! It is heartbreaking and beyond me why Putin did that. Why does he act openly so brutal and unjust while trying to come across as the victim or even the good guy?
Sadly, we just didn't learn anything from WW2! Here we go again😢
If true, probably for the last time
alexei navalny passed away? I didn't even know he was sick...
Top! Like always.
Russia is a bad replica of Golden horde.
Kremlin pointing a gun to an astronaut's head: "always has been"
it's not a replica, it's a direct descendant.
Let's not forget:
1. Navalny called Georgians 'rats' and wanted to expell them and bomb Tbilisi in 2008.
2. Navalny called Ukrainians "khohols" and opposed returning Crimea to Ukraine
3. Navalny 'debated' the internationally wanted war criminal girkin-strelkov
So by doing this, Putin may have gone from supressing one person to have to supress the idea 'Navalny'?
Navalny should be avenged !!!
Putin shouldn’t get away with everything and anything…
I agree.
For everything he's done.
I wanted to bring to your attention that I found out that I was unsubscribed from your UA-cam channel. I have been a subscriber for over a year, but for the past few months, I did not receive any of your new videos unless I specifically searched for your channel. I had to resubscribe today to start receiving your content again, and I want to clarify that you are not the only UA-camr that this has happened to.
This happened to me too at this channel as well as with other antiputin channels! Some of them have found out that some kind of virus was spread
Excellent analysis thkyou
Brilliantly said Vlad. ☘️
I love i found you vlad. You literally are the man with pots and pans
Thank you for this video Vlad. I’m sorry to hear of his murder. May his spirit journey be swift and true ❤️
Hi Vlad,
Firstly, thank you for your work.
A few quick notes.
A courageous man, a man who returned after being poisoned, knowing the stakes and consequences, was slowly tortured in prison, and then killed.
He was incredibly important in mobilizing a certain segment of the younger generation, and even if he failed to politicize the Soviet-minded lump, at the very least it made their internal compromise more difficult. The courage it took to do this works was immense. His team did it because of his character and commitment.
His loss, while in some way inevitable, once he made the decision to return (unless the regime fell beforehand), is nonetheless remarkably tragic. Tragic because it represents an a certain end. Tragic because he left behind his wife, and two children.
Perhaps at times like this, it is best to take 48 hours off from deep analysis, and to simply acknowledge the tragedy in simple, humane, and sincere words.
Humanity, vulnerability, and some space for grief, will only make the beautiful community stronger.
Lev
That was fast--and well done. One wonders how much of it was filmed before the final news of Navalny's death.
Hi vlad
What music are you playing at the end of the? Starting with 9:31.
We really put our hopes and faith into Alexey. He was the most promising politician of our nation
That is devastating and, honestly, depressing
Putin/Vader just made him more powerful than he could possibly imagine…
I don’t know….
There was a stronger figure Nemtsov, shot in broad day light.
Nothing improved.
Everything got worse.
rest in peace mr navalny,the world needs more people like you...
I will name my road to my cabin Nevalney Way. In honor of such a brave man. Rest Easy Sir, Hero, Warrior....
Fascinating!!!
