      This is a ridiculous accusation. The West had warned Russia and Russia chose to brush off the warning. ISIS has claimed responsibility. Face it, Putin is just trying to spread conspiracy theories to cover up his failure as a leader.

          What election? Do you mean the one where the opposition’s leader was murdered?

            The opposition

            There were three opposition parties, actually. And I assume you’re talking about the blood clot that nazi got in prison, right? Any actual evidence pointing to that being unnatural, or are we doing the standard blueanon “putin is behind this somehow” line of conspiratorial thinking?

              Surely you’re familiar with controlled opposition, people who run merely to provide the illusion of a real election while any real contenders are kept dead, silenced, locked up, off the ballot, or otherwise suppressed?

            Navalny never had more than like 2% support in Russia, Calling him the opposition leader shows that you’re utterly clueless on the subject of Russian politics. The actual opposition in Russia is KPRF as opposed to a fucking west backed fascist which is what Navalny was.
