“The Kremlin really wants … Or rather, the Kremlin doesn’t really want – I said wrongly – the Kremlin doesn’t want anything. The Kremlin would like to release him as a foreign spy in full. That is, for Aleksey Anatolyevich to receive a passport of a foreign state and be exchanged for Russian spies imprisoned in this very foreign state. For example, in the United States, “he said.
The political scientist drew attention to the fact that “a key oppositionist and political prisoner” became the main character of the political week.
“This week marked the difficult anniversary of the poisoning of Alexei Anatolyevich Navalny – August 20. On the same day, Alexei Anatolyevich’s friend, the outgoing Federal Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, paid a visit to Moscow. [президентом РФ] Vladimir Putin, his noble interlocutor, the question of the need to release Navalny… Also on this day, August 20, his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron spoke about the need for the early release of Navalny in a telephone conversation with the Russian President, “Belkovsky said.
He stressed that “Putin was forced to discuss Navalny at a joint press conference with Angela Merkel.”
According to Belkovsky, during the discussion of Navalny (the head of the Kremlin himself called him a “defendant”), he wanted to say the following: “I was ready to put up with Navalny as an anti-corruptionist, as a forest orderly who reminds the elites that there are no sinless among them. and each has a daddy that can be put into action, if anything, but is not ready to put up with him as a real contender for the highest state post and for power in the Russian Federation. “
Since August 2020, Navalny has been undergoing treatment and rehabilitation in Germany after poisoning with a Novichok-class military substance. The plane on which he flew from Tomsk to Moscow, urgently sat down in Omsk August 20 due to the deterioration of the state of the politician. Navalny was initially in a hospital in Omsk, and on August 22 he was delivered to the Berlin clinic “Charite”. Politician was in a coma for 18 days… The oppositionist considers the assassination attempt a terrorist act organized by the FSB on the orders of Putin.
After Navalny returned to Russia in January 2021, he was arrested in the Yves Rocher case, within which he had previously received a suspended sentence and was supposed to report to investigators, but did not do so due to treatment in Germany. Simonovsky Court of Moscow February 2 replaced his suspended sentence with a real one in the Yves Rocher case. Taking into account the time spent under house arrest, the politician will stay in a general regime colony for two years and 6.5 months.
Since February, he has been in a colony in the Vladimir region, in the city of Pokrov.
After the poisoning of Navalny, a number of Western countries, and also the European Union, imposed sanctions against Russia.
