This especially given how, in Russia itself, the tale is difficult to digest, even for Putin-critics, many of whom see more holes in the story than you’d find in Swiss cheese. Especially given how frequently the facts, as presented by the US/UK (and, in this case, also by German) media, …

Putin added that if Russian security services wanted to assassinate the western-leaning protest leader, they would have “finished the job.” He also insisted that the FSB were within their rights to follow Navalny, given their suspicions.  Earlier this week, a joint report by the US and UK state-funded Bellingcat, Russia’s …

A prominent liberal Russian journalist once commented that Western writings on Russia were so bad that they were liable to turn even the biggest Putin hater into a supporter.

Navalny, also one of the main organisers of the Moscow protest movement, was airlifted to Germany last month after he fell ill on a flight from Siberia to Moscow. German authorities later alleged he had been poisoned with a lethal version of Novichok, a substance originally formulated in the Soviet Union …

At this point, Western reporters covering the story are either completely high on the Kool-Aid or they are going to intense lengths to suppress their skepticism, because so much of the narrative simply doesn’t add up.

A resolution passed on Thursday called on European Union member states to “continue to isolate Russia in international forums,” encouraging the European Council “to prioritize the approval of the EU Magnitsky-style human rights sanctions” against what it called “the Russian regime.” The ‘Magnitsky’ sanctions are named after a Russian tax auditor, and associate …
