      Even at his best Alexander Navalny doesn't poll well. His approval rating in Russia has "soared" from 9% in 2019 to ~20% after being poisoned. And a good reason why it's so low is because no one knows who the fuck this dude is

        Every Western media outlet calling a dude who most Russians did not know existed until last year an "opposition leader" is manufacturing consent machine going brr. It's especially fun because Bernie Sanders is part of the machine too 🙃
