At the end of the 1990s, in his mid-20s, he became involved in the left-liberal Yabloko party but was expelled in 2007 due to conflicts with the party leadership and his nationalist views. He was subsequently active in a nationalist movement — a reason that he was also controversial in Russian opposition circles.
Russia is pretty fucked when all the political options are inside the nazi sphere. Navalny was like Röhm or Strasser to Putin, oppose the head of the hydra and suffer the consequences
Lmao

The US president who murdered so many muslims with drone strikes? I’m not surprised.
Looks like you have to be xenophobic, a murderer, a racist, or a combination of all three to win a peace prize nowadays

He didnt get the prize for his statements against muslims but for his work against Putin.
