As the protests across Russia wind up, Navalny allies call for a new round of rallies next weekend.

The opposition really threw down the gauntlet to the Kremlin today - coming days & weeks will be very tense

If you can't watch Navalny's video, here is my translation of another popular investigative journalist summary of Putinism. Navalny covers this in the first part of the video. Putin is a thief: facts.

I wonder who financed this production and the deep level of research, which must have required gangs of Russian speaking researchers and forensic accountants. He isn't just some guy challenging Putin. There is a Shit load of money and organization behind him. Are we funding this? Are Putin's oligarchs tired of him and backing the opposition? This is an extremely elaborate operation ... Not just a little video.

It was fascinating, although difficult to keep the names straight, because they are unknown to me. I had to turn the sound off because his talking was distracting so I just read instead. I can see some similarity to what Trump was trying to do, albeit he is much more inept and insecure, which gives way to his impulse to project everything he does, he needs to take credit.

I hope with the Biden government and those of other western governments, can give some assistance to Navalny to start the cleansing and get some of these assets back into the coffers of the Russian people.
