Kremlin comments on Navalny’s death

Alexey Navalny death news

With an investigation ongoing, Dmitry Peskov cautioned Western leaders against making “rabid statements”.

Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) is taking all the necessary steps to investigate the death of Alexey Navalny, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

Navalny died on Friday afternoon in a penal colony in Yamalo-Nenets Region, where he had been serving a 19-year sentence for offenses related to “extremism.” According to the prison service, the 47-year-old felt unwell and lost consciousness after a walk, and was pronounced dead by doctors shortly after.

The FSIN “is taking all the steps that need to be taken in such a situation,” Peskov told reporters. As such, a special inquiry would not be needed, he added.

The Kremlin spokesman said that medical professionals will determine the exact cause of Navalny’s passing, and that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been kept informed of the situation.

Earlier, an RT Russian service source said that Navalny had suffered a blood clot.

US Vice President Kamala Harris declared that “Russia is responsible” for Navalny’s passing, while European Council President Charles Michel said that “the EU holds the Russian regime solely responsible for this tragic death.”

“Obviously, these are absolutely rabid statements,” Peskov commented. “There is no information about the cause of death. We consider such statements absolutely unacceptable and inappropriate.”

Navalny first rose to prominence as a right-wing activist and as one of the leaders of the “Russian march,” an ultranationalist rally formerly held in Moscow every year. He then shifted his ideology to align with Western liberal beliefs and positioned himself as an opponent of Putin, attempting to contest the 2018 presidential election despite being under investigation for fraud at the time.

Navalny was jailed in early 2021, initially due to breaking the terms of his probabtion. He received an additional 19 years for “extremism” last year. In December, he was transferred to the ‘Polar Wolf’ colony in Russia’s Yamalo-Nenets Region, located 40km above the Arctic Circle.

  1. Look at the date of the roll out of Pfizer in Germany in 2020 while Navalny was there.
    If “bloodclot” he might have been “vaxed” with pfizer while recovering from what was said poisoning..
    The “Great Spirit” has a weird sense of humour

  2. It’s weird timing, isn’t it?

    Never heard of this guy until Tucker Carlson sat down and did an honest interview with big bad Vlad, showing everyone in the west a sharp and educated statesman instead of the comical despot we’ve all been told he is…🤔

    Not that I trust Putin as far as I can throw him, mind you. I just don’t see what in the world he would gain from killing this journalist a literal week after the Tucker interview.

    The US deep state however, would have EVERYTHING to gain in terms of getting everyone back onto the “Putin is the antichrist” page. This week’s “space nukes” nonsense is a part of that also.

    Zero doubt in my mind that one of the agencies would be able to get to a journalist, even in a Siberian prison. I know it sounds like a Tom Clancy novel, but honestly after Nord stream I wouldn’t put anything past them.

    If they want me to trust them, maybe they should stop trying to secretly spark world wars once a month 🤷🏼‍♂️

      Excuse me, i think you got mixed up.
      Tucker Carlson was talking about an american “journalist” ( CIA) spying on russia who is still alive and in prison ( Evan Gershkovitch) awaiting exchange with d° russian prisonner.
      On the other hand, Navalny was a russian citizen in opposition to putine. Navalny had russian followers and was very much applauded and supported by western de- mock- crazies . You will find his ” pedigree” on wikipedia a.o.

  3. It would be interesting to have a look at his german medical file.
    Perhaps to be found ” on line” as well as if he got the poison shot in Germany. Should also be explored, no ??
