Navalny's death was only a matter of time: Alexei fought against centralization, so he became the main enemy - Lado Okhotnikov

Alexei Navalny's investigation of a luxurious palace on the Black Sea coast caused a special resonance. We are talking about a residence near the village of Praskoveyevka near Gelendzhik. According to Alexei, this $1.3 billion luxury mansion was built for Putin. However, there was no official confirmation of this information. 

Alexei Navalny gained enormous popularity in Russia thanks to his exposure of abuses in state corporations. Through social networks, Navalny managed to bypass the information blockade in the Russian media. 

"Navalny's arrest actually predetermined his tragic fate," believes Ted Troy, a former CIA officer. In his opinion, it was an inevitable step to eliminate a political opponent and strengthen authoritarian power.

Now I'm going to say something that many people think is cruel - Alexei Navalny was the most prominent and authoritative figure in the opposition. He became a symbol of freedom and change, which is what the majority of citizens actually want, despite the powerful propaganda. 

In fact, Alexei opposed specific crimes and abuses of power by the political leadership, not the people. 

Navalny defended the values of freedom, justice, and the rule of law that are important to all citizens.

During the last appeal hearing in court, Alexei Navalny noted that "injustice reigns in our country now, tens of millions want to know the truth about what is happening, and sooner or later they will realize the real state of affairs and the need for change”.

Despite the failure of this appeal, Navalny continued to believe that the citizens' desire for truth and justice would eventually prevail. He never lost hope that democratic values, legality and openness would prevail in the country.
