DISINFO: Navalny's anticorruption NGO is working for Western security services
SUMMARY
Alexei Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation is run by Western security services.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Alexei Navalny, popular protests as staged from abroad and European politics as ruled by outside forces.
There is no evidence to suggest that the Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny is, or has been under instructions from foreign powers. Alexei Navalny has long been the most prominent face of Russian opposition to President Vladimir Putin. Navalny's candidacy in the 2018 presidential election was banned by authorities over his conviction by a Russian court for embezzlement, which bars him from running for office. He has been arrested and imprisoned several times during his political career.
Most recently Alexei Navalny was detained and sentenced following his return to Moscow from Germany, where he was treated for the poisoning with Novichok-type nerve agent. The EU has condemned the detention of Alexei Navalny and called for his immediate release.
Read similar cases claiming that the US hopes that the Navalny case will lead to the cancellation of Nord Stream 2, that the West will falsely accuse Russia of poisoning Navalny, as with Skripal and Litvinenko, that the West has an interest in the death of Navalny to launch a new wave of sanctions against Russia, that Navalny is financed by the West as a fifth column against Russia, or Europe evacuated its agent Navalny, and poisoning is fake.
