Why Putin is still afraid of Navalny: a political strategist named several reasons

The mothers of Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny are still not gave away his body. Lyudmila Navalnaya also talks about threats and blackmail from investigators. The Kremlin has quite a lot of reasons to still fear the oppositionist.

In particular, Vladimir Putin is now in a more vulnerable position than when opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was killed near the Kremlin in 2015. This 24 Channel was noted by political strategist Boris Tizengauzen.

Putin is afraid even more

Boris Tizenhausen noted that Boris Nemtsov was very dangerous for Putin. His statements were harsher than Navalny's. When Nemtsov was killed, the Russian dictator was much stronger, then so many sanctions had not yet been imposed on Russia.

After the rebellion of Yevgeny Prigozhin, a large number of sanctions, an arrest warrant from the International Criminal courts and so on, Putin has become more vulnerable. His situation is much worse, so he constantly sends doubles to events, digs bunkers and the like.

Significantly less activity for the fragile balance in Russia could cause a serious blow. That’s why Putin is more afraid now. That’s why he’s “paranoid,” said the political strategist.

A march in memory of Alexei Navalny and Boris Nemtsov is scheduled for March 2 in Russia. Tizengauzen is convinced that even if it takes place, people will simply come out, cry, there will be no mass protests.

But the Russian security forces will beat someone and “leak” the video from the site , where one of the activists was dealt with very horribly. Thus, the Kremlin will want to show Russians how such demonstrations can turn out.
