      Maybe she had her reasons. Maybe she have had enough of all this. Their government tries to cut out the courageous and leave only spineless brainless matter that doesn’t resist.

    In a 2007 pro-gun rights video, Navalny presents himself as a “certified nationalist” who wants to exterminate “flies and cockroaches” – while bearded Muslim men appear in cutaways. He whips out a gun and shoots an actor wearing a keffiyeh who tried to “attack” him.

    Yeah maybe overt Russian white nationalists shouldn’t be revered and their supporters shouldn’t be given the right to freedom of expression.
