DISINFO: Navalny is CIA's pro-Western Russian "opposition"

SUMMARY

Navalny will soon go to serve his sentence behind bars for his crimes, and the CIA will have to find a new candidate for the role of the pro-Western Russian “opposition”.

RESPONSE

No evidence is provided to support the article’s claims that Navalny is a CIA agent.

This message is part of the pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign about opposition leader Alexei Navalny. It seeks to discredit Navalny by suggesting that he is an asset of the CIA and is controlled by it. Pro-Kremlin disinformation often targets Russian opposition figures accusing them of being agents of Western intelligence services.

See a similar case that the CIA cooperates with Navalny, Navalny work with the CIA, that Western intelligence agencies are working with Navalny, and that information on Navalny’s case is promoted by the CIA in the style of the Skripal case.
