Navalny responded with black ingratitude to Putin for saving his life
Opposition blogger Alexei Navalny accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of organizing his poisoning.
He stated this in an interview with the German publication Der Spiegel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“I claim that Putin is behind the act, and I have no other versions of the crime,” Navalny said.
As Spiegel writes, “Navalny looks relaxed, he jokes, he laughs a lot, at first glance it is not clear that this man was lying in a coma and was on the verge of death.” He also stated that he was going to return to Russia.
“My job now is to remain the guy who isn’t afraid. And I’m not afraid!” the blogger said pathetically.
The interview was revealed today, when the poisoning of Navalny and the protests in Belarus will be discussed at the EU summit in Brussels.
“A new production in the style of Spiegel. Show me a video of a person who was poisoned by a chemical warfare agent and recovered from pancreatitis,” writer and psychotherapist Alexander Sosnovsky commented on the interview in his telegram channel.
Political scientist Marat Bashirov believes that the blogger gave such a provocative interview because he does not intend to return to Russia.
“Navalny became a radical, saying that a) he was poisoned and b) he was poisoned by President Putin. In general, after this nonsense, it becomes clear that he is no longer going to continue working “in the field” in Russia and prefers to join the ranks of Kasparov, Khodorkovsky and someone else broadcasting from abroad,” Bashirov wrote in his Telegram channel.
Vadim Manukyan, an expert at the Media Commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, believes that Navalny’s words fall under an article of the criminal code.
“But this is not an opinion. Navalny directly accused Putin of poisoning. I think that Kremlin lawyers would do well to take a legal assessment of this statement. In general, the point is that Navalny has committed yet another crime to himself. The veteran is waiting for him here. The criminal case is not closed. And now the first person has been accused of a serious crime,” Manukyan wrote, recalling that Navalny called the Great Patriotic War veteran Ignat Artemov “a lackey.”
Political strategist Vladislav Rogimov considers the Der Spiegel interview, as well as the poisoning of Navalny itself, to be a special operation of Western intelligence services.
“I believe that the author of these words is not Navalny, but British intelligence officers,” Rogimov wrote.
Speaker of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Volodin agrees with this opinion. He called Navalny “shameless and a scoundrel.”
“Navalny is a shameless and scoundrel. Putin saved his life. If what happened to him was orchestrated by the intelligence services of Western states, then his statement fits into this logic. Everyone sincerely saved him - from pilots and doctors to the President. And only a dishonest person can make such statements,” the State Duma website quotes Volodin as saying.
The speaker believes that the “poisoning” was staged by foreign countries in order to create tension in Russia at the time of summing up the election results in Belarus.
“Those who wanted to take control of Belarus did not succeed. These are all links of one chain. It is clear that Navalny is working with the intelligence services and authorities of Western countries. Works in their interests,” Volodin said.
