How Alexei Navalny’s death could backfire for Putin

The Independent  

It could be said that the fate of Alexei Navalny was sealed on 17 January, 2021, the day that he decided to return to Russia after five months of treatment and convalescence in Germany following a suspected poisoning in Siberia. His transfer in December to a remote prison camp at the coldest time of year was in itself a death sentence for a man whose health, as his family and friends had warned, was deteriorating. Putin has lost his most effective opponent – but does Navalny’s death strengthen or weaken his position? With all the different sanctions imposed by the US and the EU following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine almost two years ago, with the virtual end to normal trade exchanges and normal diplomatic contact, it is true that the West has little to no leverage with Russia. But Navalny’s death, in what is regarded as Russia’s harshest prison camp, can be cited as proof of the brutal nature of the Putin regime.
