wtgRIP Alexei Navalny
quote:
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died on Friday after collapsing and losing consciousness at the penal colony north of the Arctic Circle where he was serving a long jail term, the Russian prison service said.
Navalny, by far Russia's most famous opposition leader, rose to prominence more than a decade ago by lampooning the elite class round President Vladimir Putin and voicing allegations of corruption on a vast scale. He was 47.

wtgNo kidding.

The prison service in the Yamalo-Nenets district said Navalny had "felt unwell" after a walk on Friday.
He had "almost immediately lost consciousness", it said in a statement, adding that an emergency medical team had immediately been called and tried to resuscitate him but without success.
"The emergency doctors declared the prisoner dead. Cause of death is being established."
Navalny, 47, was last seen only a day ago, looking well and laughing during a court hearing via video link.

wtgCrickets from TFG. Quelle surprise.
David Remnick on Fareed this morning....GOP congresscritters could use even a small dose of Navalny's courage in standing up to a wannabe dictator.
