Alexei Navalny's death: How Russian media covered demise of President Vladmir Putin's critic
Alexei Navalny's death after around an hour of the announcement and restricted themselves to just giving one-line update without any context about his death and his political life. One report didn't even mention his full name and referred to him as just "Navalny" but interestingly made some extra efforts to mention that "the most thorough investigation" will take place to find the reasons for his demise.
When a panelist attempted to express his condolences at the popular television channel, he was cut short by the anchor who rudely asked him how Alexei Navalny's death was relevant to the issue they were discussing, the report said. Unlike mainstream media, Alexei Navalny's death brought a furor on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Telegram.
The people of Russia expressed their shock over the reports of Alexei Navalny death and some even mentioned that President Vladimir Putin bears the responsibility for his death. The pro-government people in Russia slammed the accusations against the Kremlin or President Vladimir Putin as they pointed out that killing Alexei Navalny ahead of elections would only strengthen the Opposition in Russia and why the government would commit such a blunder.
In countries outside Russia, the liberal protestors staged protests in front of Russian embassies and the Western leaders didn't waste much time blaming Kremlin for Alexei Navalny's death. Milestone Alert!
