The death of Russian politician Alexei Navalny is unlikely to lead to any upheavals within Russia; there won't be anything like that. There will be a lot of talk, but essentially, no one will do anything.
This was stated by military-political observer of the "Information Resistance" group, Aleksandr Kovalenko.
"If someone still hasn't realized, Putin is reveling in his impunity, especially now, when his main opponent, the USA, demonstrates historical weakness and lack of character.
He reveled in impunity by killing Ukrainians and seizing our lands since 2014. They reveled in impunity by killing Syrians. Spreading dictatorship in Africa. Killing dissenters beyond Russia's borders...
In 2023, he demonstratively killed Yevgeny Prigozhin, indicating what awaits those who take up arms against him but fail to see it through. The weak are eliminated. Prigozhin turned out to be a weak and insignificant rebel. Navalny, however, was a weak opposition figure.
It seemed like he posed no threat to the system, but Putin needed a bloody demonstration of the Absolute of his power. Carefully timed for the elections. Carefully timed for the address to the Federal Assembly. Carefully timed to catalyze the battles for Avdeevka. Carefully timed after the failed interview with Tucker Carlson. The humiliated dwarf needed a sacrifice for self-assertion.
What will be the move from the Russian opposition? They might come out with balloons and throw snowballs. But, the place for the Russian opposition has been eloquently indicated. They will sit there until the Ukrainians free them from the bloody dictator."
