I don't know if this unfortunate event is a good thing or a bad thing for Russia and by extension to the current leader of Russia, Vladimir Putin. The west will use this tragic and untimely death as yet another proof of Putin’s "brazen actions against his would be opponents" by having them all imprisoned, poisoned, and killed. The neo-liberalist Russians will amplify Navalnys death to high heaven outside of Russia of course since this incident will not garner that much sympathy from the Russian population at large based -- my comment is based on what I have gleaned and read from public polling in Russia.
@Serb as a close neighbor to Russia I would assume that you have a better feel and perception as to your take on this latest event. What's your take?
