For those with an interest in the Navalny phenomenon I recommend this podcast. In summary:
Short-term Navalny’s fucked
Longer term Putin’s fucked

I’m reminded of Zhou Enlai’s answer when asked about the effects of the French Revolution

China, like Russia has a habit of cannibalizing it's former leaders. Zhou had lost almost all power and Mao was about to get done so he started the cultural revolution.

Communism. For the people.

Yeltsin did a deal with Putin not to be prosecuted in retirement in return for a peaceful transfer of power. I wonder who will do the same for Putin when his time comes.

bullshit and stereotypes... like "all Russians drink vodka and play balalayka"... no one leader in Russia has been threated bad.

Last USSR leader Gorbachev is still alive and somehow active. Archive and Gorbachov-fund are working in Moscow.

Yeltsin gave his power to Putin in 2000. Yeltsin died, and now in his home-city opened memorial complex including museum and fund. https://yeltsin.ru/

If speak about USSR then last (and only) leader who was threaten bad in his life was Hruschov in 1960s.

Is it true you can only tell the women because they plait the hair under their arms?

Well to be fair Moses most USSR leaders died in office. Difficult to prosecute a corpse.

Ah, but it is not unheard of arsenal. There is the horrific account of the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell, who died in 1658, but after the monarchy was restored under King Charles II in 1660, Cromwell was exhumed in 1661, tried for treason and executed.

Execution.jpg
The posthumous execution of the bodies of Oliver Cromwell, John Bradshaw, and Henry Ireton, from a contemporaneous print.

Cromwell's body was exhumed from Westminster Abbey on 30 January 1661, the 12th anniversary of the execution of Charles I, and was subjected to a posthumous execution, as were the remains of John Bradshaw and Henry Ireton. (The body of Cromwell's daughter was allowed to remain buried in the Abbey.) His body was hanged in chains at Tyburn, London, and then thrown into a pit. His head was cut off and displayed on a pole outside Westminster Hall until 1685. Afterwards, it was owned by various people, including a documented sale in 1814 to Josiah Henry Wilkinson,[145][146] and it was publicly exhibited several times before being buried beneath the floor of the antechapel at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, in 1960.[143][147] The exact position was not publicly disclosed, but a plaque marks the approximate location . . .

So many strange things about Russia Western medias distributing now...
Example https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/a...bute-2v50kv08j Red clothes of solidarity with wife of Navalny.

One of "news" sucked from middle finger...

When artists in theater have to show noise of the crowded place on the stage, they starting to say "what to say when have nothing to say" - all together their words sounds almost like "white noise" - visitors hear only "noise of crowded place". Medias now do the same - they have no news but should to publish something. So they starting to publish "what to say when have nothing to say". So appears red clothes of solidarity - total bullshit...

By the way: Volkov - leader of "Navalny's administration" today announced - they cancel all protests till "warm time" - late spring.

Western media now will have even less sources for gossips. Should we expect some "middle-finger-news" like "Russian wears blue boxer pants as a sign of support to Navalny"?
