Officials give Vladimir Putin 87% of the vote, in an election where no credible opponent could stand.

    Lol, I think that nobody outside of Russia has any belief that this was a free and fair election. I mean, even if you don’t count that Putin imprisoned his political ally and killed him.

        Are you saying Putin didn’t kill him just because he didn’t fall out of a window? /s

        If he was so unpopular, then why did Putin try to assassinate him, then imprison him on fabricated charges with no intent to ever release him? Why couldn’t he just defeat him in a fair election and then ignore him?

            Lol, okay. Wikipedia and Reuters are not US government owned or even US-based media sources, and the wiki article is well cited by sources all over the globe. The US state department posts are just there as a tl;dr to be honest. But sure, any source that doesn’t align with your personal narrative must be biased propaganda. I note you didn’t actually address the point.

          I love how your evidence for Putin trying to assassinate Navalny is just a bunch of western media parroting what US state department says. 😂
