didn’t come from Westerners, but rather from Russians who complained
If you read the article and do some research it really comes from either Kremlin propaganda or people not knowing who Navalny really is.
his anti immigrant stance, equating immigrants to „cockroaches“ or dressing as a dentist and making a metaphor that immigrants were a pain that needs to be removed
And? You don’t know that about 70% of Russian population use much more cruel words about immigrants every day? You don’t know that there is a real problem with salaries in Russia that could be affected if Russia required proper visa from immigrants (something that a lot of other countries already do but you seem to not complanin about their immigrant stance)?
If you assume a politician who did and said that much as Navalny towards immigrants will do some real unimaginable shit towards them if he gets power… I think any Russian will tell you that you are wrong.
You pretend like nationalist authoritarianism is a phenomenon exclusive to Russia
Excuse me what? Where did I?
Your situation is not unique and if you support a fascist you get fascism.
I know Russia’s situation is not unique. That said, Navalny is unique as a political person still.
Surprise, you already have fascism in Russia even without Navalny. And there will be much more as long as Putin (at least) is in power.
Not that I hope that Navalny will at some point will get any power to do anything. But people lose too much when they judge others by single episodes from their past (that aren’t even getting interpreted properly, heh).
