As reported exclusively by russian sources at the moment, he lost consciousness after a walking hour and prison medics were unsuccessful in reanimating him, as per sources in УФСИН (government body regulating prisons and punishment). He was 47 years old at that time. The last time he was heard of he was moved from Moscow-based prison into the IK-3 named Polar Wolf, a penal colony located in a permafrost region near the town of Harp, where he found his end.
No other sources commented on that by now. At that time, there’s no independent proof of that or other explanations but the one given by prison authorities.
A fitting reminder is that presidential elections are to be held in 15-17 of March, meaning it happened exactly one month prior to them.
I’ve already written a long comment about him and his significance to Russia as I see it living here, with all his failings. You can check it in my post history.
He had a lot of shitstains on his white clothes, but what’s important - is that he shut up about any of his politics and acted as a clever manager who took everyone in opposition to establishment together, for once they didn’t fight each other and acted as a one. It wasn’t enough as we see now, and they started to fight each other once again after he was incarcerated, but he tried. And I respect him for that. His death in captivity isn’t right.
I didn’t have time to research what Assange got at that moment, so I’d not comment on that.
Navalny is a shit stain of a human being and anybody who defends him or tries to white wash him is utterly morally bankrupt. He has never been an actual opposition to Putin, nor has he gained any popularity. And that’s a very good thing because his views are absolutely heinous. The fact that you respect a fascist should make you do a bit of self reflection.
I’d love to have a speak with you IRL.
Not sure we’d have anything productive to talk about to be honest.
Your choice.
But you can check my post history if you want.
From our interactions it sounds like you have liberal views that are aligned with the western mainstream. I’m quite sure that we would disagree on most things, and I don’t really see what the value of the discussion would be. I highly doubt we’d change each others minds on anything.
I have anarchistic views I’ve sharpened by reading Bakunin, Shtirner, Graeber and Crimethinc guys. I teach them to others for what’s possible in my prison of nations that Russia is. I do my part as little as it is.
I’ve supported Navlny not because I agreed to everything he said, but because he was an alternative to outright fascism of Vova. You can call me a platformist for that. I wouldn’t care.
Navalny was a literal fascist who was unapologetic white supremacist and you had no problem allying with him. Your opinions can be safely discarded. It’s quite telling that you anarchists end up supporting literal fascists when push comes to shove. I really don’t care about anything else you might have to say.
I’m fed up with privileged internet commies telling me how I should act. I’d listen to a ukrainian who suffers in a current war, but not you, because we don’t even share the common ground and you are easy to start hating me for no reason.

Better question is why you’re trying to white wash a fascist here. Nothing funny about that I’m afraid.
I love when all my racist fascists unify into a single opposition party. Surely they won’t do anything untoward like, say, forcing Reichstag members to vote for the Enabling Act in 1933 to give them “temporary” powers, right?
I’d leave a pause for you to feel yourself clever for once.
Now, as it ended, I’d call you a fucking cretin and demand some explanations to your pov.
