German doctors in Berlin announced that Navalny was poisoned by a substance in the cholinesterase inhibitor group. They did not rule out the possibility of long-term effects on his health; Navalny remains comatose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Navalny <\/strong><strong>and the list of Russian political violence <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attempted mysterious murder, through toxic substances, against Alexei Navalny is added to a list of such murders as former FSB agent Alexander Litvinenko (2006) who was murdered with a powerful radioactive isotope, polonium 210 in London (UK), by liberal politician Boris Nemtsov from Chechens in Moscow (2015), the attempted murder of double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter with the toxic neuroparalytic gas Novichok in Salisbury, England (UK).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alexei Navalny&#8217;s course alone proves that either with attempted murders or through imprisoned not only are the Kremlin&#8217;s political opponents disappearing, but also Kremlin\u2019s potential future opponents, even if they do not pose a threat to Kremlin\u2019s authority at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alexei Navalny is a well-known blogger, activist, lawyer, and politician, with a contradictory personality and adventurous political path. Member of the liberal opposition party titled \u201cThe Russian United Democratic Party\u201d known as \u201cYabloko\u201d (Est. 1990) soon managed to climb the ladder of the party hierarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through YouTube and twitter Navalny published videos and documents about corruption by Russian state officials, organized political demonstrations, and promoted his campaigns for office. In a 2011 radio interview he described Russia&#8217;s ruling party United Russia as a &#8220;Party of Crooks and Thieves\u201d, which became a popular epithet. He founded the&nbsp;Anti-Corruption Foundation&nbsp;in 2011. In 2012,&nbsp;The Wall Street Journal&nbsp;described him as &#8220;the man Vladimir Putin fears most&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His allegations of state corruption also touched on former Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev (2012-2020). This gave him 27% in the Moscow municipal elections (2013).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, Alexei Navalny was unnecessarily indicted and convicted of corruption, losing the right to run in the 2018 Presidential elections against Russia&#8217;s current President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, Russia has over time presents a strong culture of political violence, not allowing fresh political forces and leaders to emerge that will bring an air of renewal to the country&#8217;s political, social and economic life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kremlin&#8217;s mistake is that the more it tries to eliminate its opponents without convincing arguments as is the case in developed societies dominated by the rule of law, the more likely new leaders who fearlessly convince the Russian people of a new change and momentum in the country&#8217;s events will multiply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope that Alexei Navalny will overcome this adventure against his life and fight again for the establishment and long-term rule of law and respect for human rights in this great country called Russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another victim of Political Violence in Russia, which unfortunately has a long tradition of political violence, is Alexei Anatolievich Navalny, the most popular rising&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[818,390],"tags":[1887,1886,1888,1890,58,1889,1891],"class_list":["post-2917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-europe","category-politics","tag-alexander-litvinenko","tag-alexei-navalny","tag-boris-nemtsov","tag-political-violence","tag-russia","tag-sergei-skripal","tag-yabloko"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2917"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2917\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2921,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2917\/revisions\/2921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
