As a Russian and former Putinist, I pray for Navalny's (his name is pronounced uh-lex-YAY nuh-WAHL-neey) speedy recovery. To think that I used to troll him and spread lies about Mr. Navalny 2 years ago ... I hope he survives, ousts (censored) and makes Russia democratic and economically prosperous. I think this man deserves his own thread. Paul , do you mind if I create a thread dedicated to this brave fighter?

@Putin is that your doing? I've had enough of your rule.

Notorious Russian Orthodox Cleric Dmitry Smirnov (he's barmier than Fred Phelps, Jerry Falwell and Ian Paisley put together) has the 'rona.
