If Navalny was sentenced to 3.5 years to a penal colony from a sham hearing how long should Putin receive for attempting to murder him?
Not to mention all the assassinations and deaths he is responsible for over the past 20 years

Navalny sentence replaced to 3.5 years in prison

8 hours of a sham circus hearing with the verdict decided by Putin before the start of the hearing, over 350 arrests today, over 5,800 arrests on Sunday because Putin is a coward scared of Navalny and wants to keep robbing Russia

Did he think Putin would greet him with open arms?
