From what I know about Navalny, he was still a Russian imperialist (with some other unpleasant beliefs like antisemitism). So if he took power, he could have fought corruption, tune the oppression of dissidents down a tad, trick the West into thinking that Russia is on a way to being a normal democratic country, take steps towards fixing the economy… And then still try to get all of Russia’s neighbors under its influence and to weaken and divide the West by spreading misinformation and hatred.So maybe it’s for the best that Putin is still ruling, as he will rather drive Russia into the ground than give up power. Maybe when Russia hits the bottom, Russians will finally understand that dictators are not to be trusted, that trying to subjugate everyone only makes them your enemy, and that Russia should become a normal, democratic, peaceful country.
