Original Note:
Russia routinely uses whataboutism to deflect negative attention and absolve itself of responsibility. Navalny was poisoned by a Russian spy in 2020. While imprisoned, he was subjected to severe mental and physical abuse. His body is still being kept by authorities. https://disinfo.detector.media/en/post/how-russian-propaganda-uses-whataboutism-tactics https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/21/europe/russia-navalny-poisoning-underpants-ward/index.html https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/16/chemical-burns-poisoning-prison-alexei-navalny-persecution?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alexey-navalny-wife-russia-putin-regime-hiding-body-from-mother/
