Russian autopsy shows Navalny locked self in Siberian gulag, poisoned self
"MOSCOW – Officials from the Kremlin, under the close supervision of Russian President Vladimir Putin, have concluded an autopsy of Alexei Navalny, concluding that the recently-deceased opposition leader spontaneously sentenced himself to 30 years in a remote Siberian gulag before then ingesting his own poison that he brought from home."
This is the second Onion headline in two days that I only realized was an Onion headline after I clicked the link.
And it's really kind of not.
Yea this one seems like less satire and more stating the obvious. Russia would even say something this dumb. Didn't they LITERALLY say several people fell out of windows as official explanations over the years? They also say asinine things about any embarassing moment, like some now claim the attack on Kyiv was a "raid attempt" and not a fucking new opening of an older war...
Hundreds have jumped off balconies since Putin took over. It was also known to be the preferred calling card for urban KGB operators when he was working with them.
Some TV mouth breather already announced an 'investigation' claiming he'd show dying was his last provocation against Russia.
Do you know of any legit source that shows it was most likely murder? Not to say I don't believe it, but Innocent until proven guilty, right?
I follow news. You can google these facts. I don't have all the links at hand since it happened last friday.
- A courtage of cops driving over the bridge with unmarked vehicle and a van inbetween that was posted by Mediazona and then repeated in propagandist's video. No one knew that his dead body was moved at that time.
- It happened exactly one month before a future election.
- Many officers of ФСИН were rewarded in a short period of time between his death and now.
- People who tried to commemorate his death with flowers were imprisoned and charged, an order to observe monuments to political prisoners was leaked.
- He was secretly driven to a remote location, quickly died there and then the reveal of a corpse was put to a later time to disperse any reaction, and he was once again moved.
That's not regular procedures.
There's no obvious benefits to that, as he had no power, so it's probably completely symbolical. Demonizing him and his peers even more can be a boost for elections though. And the way the state services act mysteriously there doesn't show they want one truth, but a polarizing event that'd harm opposition and approve the position held by his support base.
lmao
Alright, I ate the onion. Totally thought that was the official Russian position and I wasn't even surprised by it either.
