Make sure you read to the end of that article. Nevalny himself (NPR interview, maybe?) admitted that he has courted the far right as well as the left in his bid to expose corruption within the Russian system and gain enough support to attempt to topple the Putin regime. He is unapologetic about it as he feels his intent (to clean up Russia and push for democracy) justifies his acceptance of all Russians as fellow countrymen. Like most people seeking power, his path is not pure and his antagonists will use that to poison any positive message he presents.
that’s putting it lightly. calling all muslims “cockroaches” and calling for the deportation of all immigrants it’s exactly “courting the far right” he got kicked out of his party for being too far-right extremist and founded a nationalist organization right after. we can call that “courting the far right” or we can call that “being an instrumental leader of the far right”
i’m pretty sure this sub is heavily manipulated by some sort of astroturfing bot net. mostly because it seems like a word for word echo of /r/politics and we know that sub is heavily manipulated
so i just hope some real people see this and re-evaluate their positions. one guy at least seemed genuinely curious and wasn’t aware. so that’s something, at least.
It’s a neoliberal type of left. Basically establishment DNC. You know, the type to ask your pronouns before they launch a bomb with a pride flag on it at brown people.
Regardless, it’s still heavily manipulated. My ex-gf worked for DNC and participated in these types of “outreach campaigns”.
In late 2006, Navalny appealed to the Moscow City Hall, asking it to grant permission to conduct the nationalist 2006 Russian march.
This was essentially a giant protest against immigrants. There were many neo-nazis including people holding swastikas. if you look around long enough, you’ll find a find of navalny there with some swastikas behind him. i can’t find the video right now but i found some images of the russian march which should be enough to show there were neo-nazis there
National Russian Liberation Movement, which made anti-immigrant its main policy. During this period of time he would make certain statements like
“muslims are cockroaches that need to be exterminated” “immigrants are like cavities, you need to pull them out” etc
“Everything in our way should be carefully but decisively removed through deportation,” Navalny said in a video dressed as a dentist, comparing immigrants to dental cavities.
while it’s true that the Russian regime has illegally restrained him - they arrested him, tried to poison him, and ultimately killed him - but he was still a neonazi
Could you please provide some sources for this? This is the first time I am reading about this side of Nalvany.

Removed for misinformation. Liberals do not support Nazis and Biden is not engaging in a genocide in Gaza.

Don’t take anything you read online at face value
LOL - Nope. If there were a bot manipulating it all it would sure as hell make MY life easier… ;)
