Two Russian journalists were detained on “extremism” charges in Russia on April 28 for having allegedly worked for a group founded by the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

Russian authorities have accused Konstantin Gabov and Sergey Karelin, Russian citizens, of producing content for Navalny’s YouTube channel, NavalnyLIVE.

The Kremlin has deemed Navalny, who died in northern Russia in February, and organizations affiliated with him as “extremist.”

Objection, relevance.

Navalny was ostracized in Russia because of his white nationalism, not because he opposed Putin.

Objection sustained, move on.

Nobody is holding up Navalny like some paragon of virtue.

What a short memory, liberals were eulogizing him when he died as if he was some sort of martyr
