Being young Russian citizen with liberal world views I passionatly followed Alexey Navalny and his team work, at the time it was seemingly altruistic, positive, and very entertaining. But now not so young anymore and hopefully smarter, I am looking back and seeing that what it was, was play to hijack power for the sake of it, create instability as means to gain power, and from more recent interview with people worked side by side with Navalny [1] [2] it is clear that what he was on public was facade and underneatch was power hungry man that weaponised internet platforms, populism and worked by the book-play of a typical foreign NGO interfering with sovereign state.
