How Russian exiles fight Putin's reign of terror from abroad | Focus on Europe

Many members of the opposition have fled Russia and continue to fight against the Russian president from abroad. They are inspired by the work of late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, and by his wife, Yulia Navalnaya, who picked up the torch of opposition after his death in a Russian prison.

There was this leader who was hated by opposition figures but a time came for him to retire and after his retirement, people entered into a conflict among themselves wanting to do away with the opposition leader who had taken over the government. The point is, you never see the value of a leader until that leader is no longer there and for ordinary people, leaders seem to be getting worse and worse and insensitive to people's needs.

Does it count for Yulia being popular in the West or in Russia. And if Yulia ever become President, wouldnt she be a Western plant in Russia? 😂

My country has had a history of people having to leave and fight or wait abroad. Including the founding fathers. She wouldn't be a plant. Just a Russian that won an election. Guess it depends how Russian gets it's second chance at democracy. How it's leaders are selected. But just being in exile doesn't make anyone a plant.

It's actually unexplained though. US intelligence has concluded that Putin didn't kill Navalny (WSJ) and Ukraine's intelligence chief Budanov say Navalny died from a blood clot. We haven't seen an autopsy reports from Navalnys family so technically it's unexplained.
