Navalny, one of the leading Russian voices against Vladimir Putin before he was locked up, has now been convicted of promoting "extremism."

A Russian " " court " " on Friday issued its verdict in a new case against jailed opposition leader Alexey Navalny, convicting the politician of promoting “extremism” and extending his time in prison by 19 years, according to Russian state media and his own team.

      Yeah

      He’s better than Putin in that a turd sandwich is better than a firehose full of raw sewage to the face

      But honestly, if someone put him in power, I’m 50/50 over whether he would just become the next Russian dictator

        50/50? I feel like there’s a 90% chance they will be and I think that’s a conservative estimate.
