DISINFO: The neo-liberal forces behind Navalny will intensify their attempts to destroy Russia

SUMMARY

The sun of Russian pro-Western grant-suckers, Alexei Navalny, has declared an aim to return to Russia despite the potential arrest that he faced due to his violation of the terms of a suspended prison sentence for embezzlement (Navalny is currently in Germany, while the terms of his suspended prison sentence ban him from leaving the country). /…/

There is no surprise that the expected return of Navalny is set to take place just a few days before the inauguration of Joe Biden that represents the neo-liberal/globalist clique in the United States elites. This very group has been consistently painting Russia as the world evil, blames it for meddling in the US internal affairs and destabilizing the world. Under the Biden administration, it is expected that Russia will officially become the Enemy #1 and various attempts to destroy the Russian state will be intensified.

RESPONSE

This article is conspiracy built around the concept of ubiquitous Russophobia and anti-Russian provocations(opens in a new tab) by the Western countries and spreads disinformation about Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny's poisoning(opens in a new tab).

Navalny fell ill (opens in a new tab)during a flight and the plane had to make an emergency landing in Omsk in Russia, before he was transferred(opens in a new tab) to Berlin where the German Federal government said that toxicological tests provided “unequivocal evidence of a chemical nerve agent of the Novichok group(opens in a new tab)” in his blood samples. In addition, on 4 September, the German government provided research(opens in a new tab) by two more independent laboratories in France and Sweden, which confirmed the presence of poison from the Novichok group in Alexei Navalny's body. The report by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, published on 8 October, also supports the German conclusions. The OPCW report can be found here(opens in a new tab). The European Union condemned(opens in a new tab) the poisoning of Alexei Navalny in the strongest possible terms and imposed sanctions(opens in a new tab). EU also condemns the arrest of the dissident leader.

Read our past analysis "Fifty ways to kill Navalny"(opens in a new tab) on pro-Kremlin disinformation about Navalny and earlier disinformation messages alleging that the West has an interest in the death of Navalny(opens in a new tab), that only traces of alcohol and caffeine were found in Navalny's blood(opens in a new tab), that the West will falsely accuse Russia of poisoning Navalny(opens in a new tab).
