    The Spin

    Anti-Russia narrative

    Navalny, who has committed his political career to opposing Putin's despotic and oppressive regime, must be liberated. The labeling of Navalny as an extremist and terrorist is a blatant falsehood being peddled by the Russian state.

    Pro-Russia narrative

    Western countries are using Navalny as a tool to mold new pretexts for anti-Russian sanctions. Russian authorities were blamed for Navalny's illness last year, despite a clean bill of health before his transfer to Berlin. Western reporting is more concerned with discrediting Russia than with the truth or the safety of Navalny himself.
