I watched this 2022 interview of John Sweeney (he wrote "The killer in the Kremlin"). It's interesting, in the middle of the interview they talk about Navalny and how Putin feared the uprising if he got him killed in prison.
Dear Rick….this was a most forceful and passionate piece of writing….would that everything you suggest we do comes to pass….Already I saw that the week ended with the deplorable Repugs in the House failing to approve the money for Ukraine…their despicable behavior and obvious support for Russia is unfathomable. Are they not all treasonous, TFG included? How can we be so tolerant of their obvious illegal actions that are aimed to take down our Democracy and the rest of the free world with it??????? The murder of Navalny must be avenged by taking all that money obtained in the sanctions against Russia and given to Ukraine….I am not sure we as a nation have the courage and the ability to show our power and do the right thing…which saddens me even more. As the Russian noose tightens around the free world day by day we must actively find a way to take Putin down …while not forgetting about our own orange monster salivating about his future partnership with Russia.
Vlad Vexler, a Soviet expat who emigrated as a teen and has lived in the UK long enough to get an accent, is one of our most astute analysts of Russian sociopolitics. His take on Navalny's death is very much worth a watch:
Well-said, Mr. Wilson. I live in a deep red area, and when my MAGA friends tell me it won't be that bad I say two things: Read up on the history of authoritarian regimes and see what happens if Trump is reelected. They don't listen or care.
This is after all Russia, whose people live with a collective thought brought through standardized education in a nationally operated school system which does not criticize the State.
The utterly unnecessary and incredibly destructive wars being waged anywhere in our world are simply irrational naked grabs for control by men who regardless their bespoke clothing will not master the art of walking upright.
Wars bring thousands of dead and mutilated, wounds that will never heal, minds that cannot forget, lives warped beyond return; all thanks to what? Philosophy? Religion? Beliefs? Some men's desire to rule?
The accumulation of wealth, devoid of reason and beyond simple greed, is a disease affecting those who seek power and socio economic control, with the use of both religion and the military being the most expeditious methods.
I've stayed away from the news for a while and just read about Navalny's death. I am sick to the core and feel deep grief over the loss of him; my heart goes out to his wife and family. When will this planet be rid of the irredeemable monster Putin?
It’s utterly gut-wrenching to contemplate the very distinct probability that the near-universal Republican affinity for Putin may have encouraged the latter to order Navalny’s murder sooner rather than later. All have his blood on their hands. A fitting epitaph and call to arms, Rick.
This is the time where every person in the United States that praises Putin should be treated as a traitor and sent to live there. Putin just made a martyr of Navalny. I know how angry I am now about it. I hope the Russian citizens are 100 times more and we see another revolution. It's time to shut up and not put up with this evil and trash.
Anna Danylchuk (Anna From Ukraine on YouTube) has a blistering take on this. She notes that Navalny was not the very best friend of Ukraine, but she's still furious about his death and what it represents to the world about Vladimir Putin's implacable evil:

Biden would murder Trump if he thought he could get away with it.
According to Trump's lawyers a President has 💯% immunity against prosecution of anything.
So if you support Trump then you believe Biden can murder Trump.
And you.
You little fucking Russian traitor. 😂
Yep…’everything I don’t like is Russian’. Solid logic random anonymous no name person on Substack. So brave. So bold.
THANK YOU. All the "Navalny Died" headlines made me even sicker than I was to hear the news of his murder.
Nobody ever suddenly feels ill? They’re all murdered by Putin? Fascinating!

He is a hero but I wish he was still alive. Disgusting Putin
