More than 400 people have reportedly been detained in Russia for publicly mourning the death of Alexei Navalny, who died in an Arctic penal colony on Friday at age 47. He was the most prominent critic of Vladimir Putin in Russia and was serving a 19-year sentence at the time of his death on “extremism” charges. U.S. President Joe Biden and other Western leaders directly have blamed Putin for Navalny’s death. Prison authorities say Navalny died of “sudden death syndrome,” but his family has not yet been given access to his body to allow for an independent autopsy. For more, we speak with Russian American writer Masha Gessen, who charts Navalny’s political evolution from an ethnonationalist libertarian tapping into “xenophobic discontent” to an anti-corruption activist promoting a vision of civic nationalism. “I have no doubt … that he was killed,” says Gessen. “Putin was determined to see Navalny die in prison.”

In Russia they call falling out of a window and dying sudden death syndrome
In the US they call sudden death sydrome after a healthy person drops dead..after getting juiced..potato ,potatoe
@@inanymin8705they actually don’t. The U.S is nothing like Russia/Putin mob. You must be very young or mentally stunted.
@@inanymin8705
US life expectancy (2022):
Male: 74 years
Female: 80 years
Russia life expectancy (2022):
Male: 67 years
Female: 78 years
If it really was "potato, potatoe", we wouldn't see these differences.
The US undeniably has its problems, and personally, I would never dream of living there. But unfortunately, the data shows that Russian life is harder than American life for the people who live it. And the difference between the male and female life expectancy means that Russia creates widows much faster than the US does, so they stay widowed for longer.
Do I think this is the best way to compare countries? I don't know. It could be better, maybe. But it's *definitely* preferable to comparing state-sanctioned murder to vaccines, which are two completely unrelated things.
And do I think that Russia's low life expectancy figures prove that the US is somehow "better" overall? Well, again, yes and no.
The Kremlin's story is always that a government should look after its people by making them "strong". That's fine, but their idea of doing this is to make other nations fear them. I think that's the wrong approach.
Russian medical facilities have improved in the last 20 years, and to me, that's the REAL way to make a people strong. You look after your people, so they can live longer and enjoy it more.
So I give the Russian state some credit for dealing with some of those medical issues. But they still have a long way to go, to reach the standards of health that citizens of western countries enjoy - even the US, which is the *worst of all* western countries in this area.
I would love to see even more improvements in Russia's health system in the future, so that the life expectancy and overall health of the Russian population (especially the male half) improves.
I could say similar things about education, roads and so on. The old saying "duraki dorogi" (fools and roads), as a shorthand for Russia's national problems, still seems to be an issue. Not that Russians are stupid - of course they aren't. There are just a lot of people there who live in communities where the standard of education isn't good, and also a lot who have swum in puddles propaganda their whole lives, so they can't see the world straight. And meanwhile, outside of a few prominent highways, the roads are a nightmare!
If Putin were to drop all his imperial Peter-The-Great nonsense and focus on these real life improvements instead, I would be his biggest fan. Honestly, it would be great. I would proudly wear his face on a t-shirt, if he made that turn.
I hope he does it ... but given the increased percentage of Russia's GDP that's being directed towards the military now, I fear that he won't.
I think he's going to double down on the whole "Let's make the world respect us" thing, based on centuries-old conspiracies about how everyone is always trying to destroy Russia and blah blah blah.
It's a ridiculous idea, because it's clear to everyone outside of Russia that before Putin started being an ass to his neighbours, the general world attitude towards that country was complete indifference. Nobody knew, nobody cared. That's not great, but it's a million miles away from these paranoid fantasies about how everyone is trying to 'destroy' it all the time.
And more importantly, these paranoid fantasies are no excuse for diverting money away from the things that Russian people really need.
If you are a Russian person, Inanymin, you should be hoping for these things too. For your parents, for yourself, for your children and for your countrymen. This is what you should be praying for - and I think you know that.

Brain dead to compare the two one man stood for a better Russia with freedom and the other would was a asset to Russia since he would release nothing Russia that man was no angle
😂😂😂
isn't it interesting that it happened right after Tuckers interview with Putin? when everybody talked about it. And right before elections in Russia
Yes.
Navalny was a CIA and MI 6 asset. The West poured a lot of money into him. He was NOT popular in Russia.
56% of Russians disliked him. 18% liked him. You can see his racist videos where he calls Central Asians ‘insects’ and Georgians ‘rodents. Navalny was a traitor put there by the West to overthrow the government.
He was NOT starved. He went on a hunger strike and had heart failure. He was never poisoned.
I am surprised you have not done your homework on this.
I do not subscribe to you anymore on KPFK in LA.
Everyone watch the interviews between Judge Napolitano and Scott Ritter and Alexander Mercouris analysis on this. They speak the truth.
Amy it is NOT Putin’s regime. Putin was elected and has 86% popularity.
SHAME ON YOU AMY.
You should give equal time to those who experienced Navalny in Russia. Just 14, 500 people follow Navalny in Russia. Yale is a place where CIA trains assets!
Hysteria over this but not over Gazans.
Exactly! So russian are soooo stupid to di an antiPR while the whole world had seen the truth!
Putin emboldened. If Trump wins in November it gives him carte blanche
And just HOURS before the security conference in Munich where his wife had a speech. And right when Ukrainians had a major defeat in Avdeevka, AND when there was doubt about financing Ukraine in the US. Too many goals with one stone 🙄
“Sudden Death Syndrome”…..of course.
The initial report was a blood clot.
You haven't heard of the "sudden deaths" after vaccines? What planet are you on?
That's a normal medical term and in the USA 210.000 people die from SADS alone every year. That's not even all SDS, just the one with cardia arrest.
@@miriamweller812 Jeffrey Epstein suffered the same fate.
@@miriamweller812 well if you read that again, nowhere did i say: “that is a fake term being used”
I typed it like that cause Russia will say whatever they want; That man was targeted: silenced: and then murdered by Putin.
So yeah “Sudden Death Syndrome” sounds funny for them to use while denying any kind of credible autopsy to be performed and released.
As well; Im sure hella people die in US from SDS. Americans can barely cooperate/operate 4-way stops. I am positive they fail to properly take care of themselves in many ways that can lead to SDS. That is a no brainer.
Thank you Democracy Now!
Their journalists need to be less ignorant. The man was poisoned with nerve gas in his freaking underwear. He survived because the pilot detoured the plan to Germany where he was treated and cared for. This is well established, proven and well known.
CIA ?
+ MI6
CIA can’t get inside Russia but last person visited Navalny was his British lawyer after his visit he died! For sure was British’s intelligence they got rid of him to blame president Putin right after elections.Also cia has someone else already to use inside Russia against president Putin.

Interesting piece in this months Forbes magazine about the Russian economy, here's a quote from it: _'The three largest employers in Russia are the oil and gas industry, the shipbuilding industry and the nuclear power industry. The three largest employers in Great Britain are Sainsbury's, Tesco and the NHS.'_
I Doubt Putin gives a toss what we think.
Apparently Russia is doing quite well financially because of this.
poo-tin is scared as shit that’s why he killed Alexey Navalny. Dictator is a coward and kills not just opposition but those who criticize him. But we all know how all dictators die….
@@yvonneplant9434 they just make weapons and kill
I only know Tesco because we have it here in Hungary.
I just Googled "the three largest employers in Russia" and got result that they are X5 (a supermarket corporation), Magnit (also a supermarket corporation) and Mercury (liquor store chain). A Russian equivalent of the NHS is not even in top 10.
What about Gonzalo Lira’s death in a Ukrainian prison? Silence….
Yeah Amy... Any word on this?
@@queenredspecialthe word is:
Don’t sit inside another nation and push propaganda of an invading country. The parallel suggestion of Navalny to Coach Red Pill is absurd
@@jocksharerock7318That's literally what Navalny did though. You forget that the Ukraine war is ongoing since 2014.
Not important, I would think, selective outrage
Gonzalo Lira was a fantasist, a pathological liar and a Fifth Columnist. He continually posted Russian propaganda. He was warned that his behaviour was unacceptable. He chose to ignore the warning.
FREE JULIAN ASSANGE.
He's controlled opposition
Exactly. This story is a distraction from that and many other topics of import. The elites lost an asset, but Julian Assange is our asset, barely clinging to life. He needs to be let go on humanitarian grounds, this is the play.
more media diversion from the real issues.(like freeing Assange).
Free a rapist?
Why did he come back? He could have done more in exile (IF so he would STILL have had to be careful re: poison) but we would still have heard his voice.
Certainly he knew beforehand that he would be arrested on his return. The idea of a self sacrifice, a fate to be predetermined runs deep in the Russian psyche and Alexei was Russian to a fault.
He became a martyr and that's more powerful than speaking out abroad Russia from abroad
His CIA handlers probably sent him back. (Wikileaks showed the cables).
PS nobody survives that particular poison. He, his entourage, his doctors.....nobody.
@@vitasp.4231 Or you can ascribe it to his immense political ambitions, readily going along with the tactics of his western mentors and handlers. He was a CIA asset who hoped he'd outlive putin, who's nearing his biological end, and take over power. He miscalculated.
@@Korra228 Nope because he didn't have the kind of outreach among ordinary Russians he aspired toward. The majority of Russians don't see him as an opposition leader, never did, nor as a martyr. He took on Putin in a power struggle, miscalculated his strenght and lost.
Sudden Death Syndrome?! WTF!!!
😂😂😂 I thought that was literally playing in our faces
The CIA gave him the Covid Vax, Duh !
@@richardleirer I have no disillusion that he died of natural death but, absent proof... speculation is hearsay! Is why Putin wont release body to family for autopsy! I just want proof.
@@MichelMawon4982 "Sudden death" is ridiculous absent autopsy!!!
What does "Democracy Now!" say about Julian Assange, who is sitting in solitary confinement since four years?
They have a video on this channel called "The Bellmarsh Tribunal" calling for Julian Assange's freedom. You should check it out, some other journalists speak in it too.
Crickets...
He isn't being held in solitary confinement. He spends time with other inmates, gets books, learning materials, three meals, showers, and exercise. You're a liar....
I don't find any benefit for Putin. In the end this is going to be another Nord Stream 2, you just have to look at who benefits
I was thinking the same thing.. haha. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who sees how convenient all of this is for certain people.
My thoughts exactly. Navalny had serious ongoing health issues.
@@danmcqueen5295 and why tf would that be? because he was poisoned, beaten, starved, and kept in a frozen prison for years?
@@Stpatie15lies their is videos of him perfectly fine before his untimely end..

Alexei Navalny is the sacred victim of the American masters. An unsuccessful project to destroy Russia. Don't believe the propaganda of these stupid or bought women. Look at the movie "Avatar", in which the American crooks are trying to kill a free tribe living according to its own traditions. So it is now, the USA against Russia. Whose side are you on?
Some so evil pple in this universe
Why is Gonzalo Lira’s death in Ukrainian prison not investigated? How about Julian Assange? Sick Hypocrisy!
Yes. West is over. Hypocrisy
Wow, interesting to see that they now care about ONE sudden death. I guess that that's progress?
Английский учи, бот
West is trying to find something to cling on, that's why they ordered Navalny to be killed. He was no longer of use to them.
It's also called murder. Ignorance can kill
And the death of a xeenophobic, raacist, neoNaz associate. Not even joking. There's a lot of information from non-Russian sources speaking of this. The US just paints him as a hero because he was against Put (who I don't even like).
And interesting how the public mourns a far-right neoNaz associate and racist just because he was against Put.
What about Julian Assange?
Free Assange ❤❤❤
Navalny Hero, but Assange is Avator.
Greatest human on Earth ❤❤❤
This is not about Assange. This is about a man who lost his life.
He SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS A SAINT BY THE ORTHODOX CHURCH OF RUSSIA
@@sheilamorgan3845I see, so until Assange dies in prison he is of no import? Wow!!
@@spurkay2
Not on this page. This is about a man that died in a Russian prison. Have some respect. When it is about Assange then we can talk about Assange. This page isn't about him.

Thats the only reason american media cares, thier asset got wacked

Such a miraculous story of his first survival, geez, what a life. It’s so frightening and violating, terrifying how they would put the stuff on his underwear, that’s all it took.
Was his method. Criminals who work with propagand alove such stories and make up mystical attacks they survived. Nothing new. When you know that you got a giant propaganda empire like the west on your side, it's easy peasy.
Im trembling
Makes you wonder who had access to his underwear?
And his wife was invited to Munich forum and smiling ?

Without any investigation to make Putin guilty is not a justice
I’ve been hearing the same bs narrative from vatniks after murdering Nemtsov, Politkovskaya, Litvinenko, Estimirova, etc,etc. Stop being a serf, start using grey matter in your brain!
Do you know any history? Do you know they hired a group Chechens to murder Nemtsov on a bridge in Moscow in 2015? Do you know they murdered Politviskaya by hiring men to push her out of an apartment window? The Russian government also poisned numerous opposition figures. They do not care about sophistication.
ah, yes, the famous sudden death syndrome....
It's a normal medical term, child.
210.000 peopel die in the USA alone per year from SADS alone, that's not even all SDS, only the ones with cardiac arrest.
Would by the way easy to look up.
The number of people who died of this after the c19 vaccines also rose significantly in countries with high rate of vaccinations.
Maybe he just followed what the "experts" told him and died due to a blood clot as some reports say.
🤷🏻♂️
Imagine covering like this for Snowden,Asange etc.
Is it just me or would anyone else like to see this stupid dolt pay more attention and do a story on what happened to Jeffery Epstein and how the Clinton's, with the help of the Biden administration, snuffed him out while in jail under constant supervision?
Different circumstances - not at all analogous...
@@cecileroy557 yeah right :)
And what's worse is that this guy was a whlte suprmist and antllmgrant.
I’m sure Gessen “has no doubt”. However, Gessen needs to understand the difference between a claim and an established fact. Amy needs to have a broader discussion on matters like Navalny. This was a surprisingly poor show. For example, it would have been great to have someone of the knowledge and quality of Stephen Cohen (rip) to discuss this as well. Gessen’s discussion is not accurate to who he was as a political figure.
Did you have success in reaching out to Amy?
Yeah, and regarding him as a political figure, I haven't come across any solid information suggesting that Navalny changed his entire world-view and suddenly stopped attending neoNaz marches, sympathizing with kiIIers of immigrants and contstantly portraying said immigrants as sub-humans. And toning down such ideas does not mean he *sincerely* changed. It just means he learnt how to be more likeable to the more IiberaI people of Russia and not just the far-right.
It is fun fact most of Russian opposition are Jews. 🤣
Looks like you need to understand that this particular established fact is not only because Masha Gessen "has no doubt". Thousand of quite competent people also have no doubt.
@@krysarak Same "quite competent people " who shook the test tube at the UN. Or the "highly likely" type 🤣
He must have fallen.. out of the prison window.
Sudden death syndrome ? Yes he was poisoned / beaten / abused. Anyone would die suddenly
No there is absolutely no evidence for such fairy tales. The Boogey Man is not Russia and you are being played to believe nonsense.,
The timing of Navalny's death is strange. It made the major interview of Putin by Tucker Carlson for US consumption less relevant, it puts Putin in a worse light after the Ukrainian army retreated from Avdiivka, Navalny's wife was at teh Munich conference. Navalny was in prison anyway... It seems that his death right now would be counterproductive for the Putin regime.
"Putin presidency"...Russians VOTED for him.
Navalny survived an extremely dangerous poison attack which kept him in a coma for 6 weeks. I am guessing this made his health somewhat frail to begin with (disclosure: as a physician in an unrelated field, my expertise is limited). In prison he was subjected to harsh conditions such as exposure to cold and starvation. There was also a period during which Navalny refused food as a form of protest. Therefore, I think it is safe to assume that his health, including his immune system, continued to deteriorate. Under these conditions, even relatively easy to treat medical problems can quickly become life threatening. For example, he might have caught a viral infection turned bacterial pneumonia, received inadequate treatment, and died of septic shock within days. In sum, when you are killing someone in this way you cannot always choose the timing.
All these Putin fans in the comments.. disgusting
Dude your too smart, it hurts these peoples feelings out here. They love navalny, they just learned who he is
@@glmx778 thank you for your perspective. This is something I have been thinking as well. Surviving the nerve agent poisoning must leave severe consequences. And death due to blood clots can be a ticking bomb.
Of course if Putin wanted Navalny to survive he would have been given house arrests or sent to a prison somewhere with milder climate and conditions.
But the refusal to release the body and conduct an independent autopsy could indicate poisoning.
Putin has had many opponents and critics killed, but the timing of this death seems quite inconvenient for him.
I like the Economist's 2012 edition Christmas cover. Look at the top. Someone knew something unknown!

That’s right. He was a Russian nationalist and an anti-immigrant.
We all have defects, but at least let it be known that he was not a saint either.
Yale Fellowship will do that to you.
If he was American, he would have been in jail by the US as well. He was a traitor to Russia. Also we must ask, to what benefit would this be to Putin? I believe he was unknown to most Russians and was polling 2-3%.
Nah, he wasn't nationalist, he was anorher liberal, his wife's father is a big guy in KGB, all big show for the World. Project "Navalny" is closed.
He was a fascist lol.
>Nationalist
>anti-immigrant
He's literally perfect.
for all the people commenting about Assange: of course. one thing does not exclude the other.
Now your duty is to save Julian Assange. Or is he not part of the narrative? 😂😂😂😂😂 hypocrites
Democracy Now will send their military helicopter. Amy Goodman is secretly Mr. T so no problem.
Is it just me or would anyone else like to see this stupid dolt pay more attention and do a story on what happened to Jeffery Epstein and how the Clinton's, with the help of the Biden administration, snuffed him out while in jail under constant supervision?
Different set of circumstances...
@@cecileroy557 hypocrite
Oh, is it? How? Even Masha acknowledges Alyosha's " Nazi " crap. What if that was all that people chose to see?
Almost like Jeffery Epstein,,,, interesting.
Why are so many referring to the child molesting pedophile, Epstein, when the news is about Navalny's murder? Do you believe Putin killed Epstein? Or, are you equating Navalny and Epstein? Epstein and Lira are more closely birds of a feather.
Why so much concern for Russian citizens and so little concern for Americans?
That's dumb please stay off internet it's too hard for you
In this case is not concern about Russian citizens, it is concern for a Russian citizen that was a CIA asset...
Hypocrites. Why Agnes C interested in investigation in the death of Alexey Novalny but not in the death of Gonzalo Lira in ukrainian prison ? Gonzalo Lira was an American journalist who was covering the war in ukraine. Why amnesty international not interested in this investigation ??????? Is it because in their opinion ukraine is a democratic country ????? Double standards. Democracy is a very lonely word.
The question is: Who really killed Mr Navalny..!?!
At least in America our leaders don't imprison their political opponents, oh wait...
Yes, how about Assange, imprisoned for real journalism...
Luckily he was vaccinated.
Could have been so much worse.
All they did was martyr him.
Given that we can't even be sure what Gessen's gender is why would we listen to s/h/it?
😂 Exactly!
Navaljy had only 3%of the votes, Putin 80% and the kommunistpartyb what was left.
Navaljy wasnt any treat at all
My prayers and thoughts are with Navalny's wife Yulia Navalnaya to have the strength to carry on Alexi great work, and his beautiful children who have lost a great dad to stand strong and know that their great dad will never die in spirit.
I don't understand stand this. There is so much information out there about who Navalny really was and just like most things, You're not going to learn any of it here. I'm commenting You in Peace and because I do truly care. If there's one thing that I Truly Hate. It's when I am being lied to and in the Manipulation of My Truths!!!
I believe he was killed.. But the question is by whom?
Only 5 days before his death his wife regretted that all in vain and mentioned about a shift in strategy.
Two days before his death his doctor visited him and gave some medicines.
The Russian presidential election is closely approaching, scheduled for March 15th, 2024.
Ukraine underwent yet another big loss.
It seems, someone hope to see changes in the election with the death of Navalny!
Navalny became a scapegoat for the West.
Also, right after Tucker's interview (as 'damage control') and to ensure more weapons to Ukraine when they couldn't agree on it in the US. Too many goals with one stone.
Pfeizer ......!!
Well said
Его не Запад убил.
@@user-uc9fo9sq7d
Его собирались освободить в обмен на какого-нибудь россиянина, находящегося под стражей в Америке. Но американцу нужен был кто-то вместо него. Уэст больше не интересуется им. Он стал не таким уж и полезным идиотом.
something that happens everyday in Merikan prisons, and BTW this guy was a full blown NatC and racist to the core. Stop trying to pretend he was some innocent dissident. and there is nothing but doubt as to what happened
Yep, exactly! Epstein didn't kill himself. And all the covert operations done by CIA and FBI by killing the enemy of the enemy at the right time.
Racism didn't bother u before so why now...
Not a reason for him to be MURDERED...
YOUR WAY OF LIFE IS DISGUSTING 💩 💩 💩
Reminds me of how Nordstream blew itself out mysteriously.
Thank you for pointing this out.
Exactly 👍
I admire you greatly Masha. You are absolutely brilliant. Despite that, this timing is quite conspicuous. There is much more to this story than it seems. My opinion is that we are just scratching the surface and his death is a regrettable matter that will be exploited greatly in the coming weeks and months.
It's amazing how Golanza Liar's death in Ukraine didn't get coverage like this. Instead Biden gave Ukraine 60 million more.
There is much more to the story. I wish that wasn't the case.
Why not international probe for Assange and Gonzalo?
In 2023 an estimated 6.3 million children under five died, 2.9 million of them in the WHO African Region. This is equivalent to five children under 5 years of age dying every minute. Two thirds of these deaths can be attributed to preventable causes. A third of all these deaths are in the neonatal period. 1:03
I have doubt. Considering our mainstream media is all of a sudden concerned . Sounds fishy to me
it sounds extremely fishy in fact
Yea they invested into the guy to help break Russia apart and got caught.
US will provide aide to ISIS, AL queda, taliban if the scenario helps western ambition. They have provided aid to all major terror organizations, for ISIS, they occupy territory so RUssia cant occupy it and finish the job taking ISIS out.
Israel was seen giving ISIS fighters hospital care.
I also love the reaction time of 15 minutes.
I agree, sounds fishy
American politics is stupidly dire right now. There’s so many stories about civil rights the line is 20 blocks long. It’s gotten impossible to fit all the important stuff in at once
DN spreading CIA narrative...sad
Dumbest quote ever
@@vectorfox4782 not a quote dummy
Democracy Never!
Wow, DN Russia stories sure bring out the most thoughtful and interesting people.
Gonzalo Lira.
RIP Gonzalo Lira. So sad for his death. USA was it care but for Navalny they talk talk talk. Oh my god when it will be end. Please peace
Christo Groseh and the remainder of the amazing Bellingcat group must start their brilliant investigation asap.
RIP Alexei Navalny!
Do you know who is amazing? The boys from The Grayzone. Glenn Greenwald..... The above are paid to support overthrow. Cookies from V. Nuland.....
Navalny was the Juan Guaido of Russia.
Update: I am sorry that I misgendered Masha. I truly am. It is very hard with different genders and the problem is that we can't ask the question because it is rude , sometimes it is confusing. I meant no harm!
This guy Masha Gessen is talking about Navakny's torture in prison, something that is happening to Jullian Assange.
Этого парня) зовут русским женским именем😅😂
Please don't misgender Masha.
Except Julian is in the UKJ for craps sake. Novlny was in the Arctic!!!
I meant UK LOL I mean I don't think the UK is giving Assange Novochok!!!
Oh no, it's incomparable
Is Navalny more important than 30000 Palestinian people?
Did you guys say anything about Gonzalo Lira?
Did he fall off of a perfectly working balcony?
The reply to his mama's question for cause of death is one they came up with over vodka.
The oh-so-clever answer, TO A MOTHER of her son's death, brings gales of laughter amongst Putin, Trump, Republicans. They have the same god. They are the same creature.
Yulia,watch out....novochok may be coming your way. Be brave,but be careful
