Vladimir Putin’s fiercest critic, Alexei Navalny, died in a brutal penal colony Friday, having been locked up since returning home following a nerve agent poisoning widely assumed to have been an assassination attempt.
The Russian opposition leader, a married father of two, was 47.
Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service claimed that “the convict” collapsed and died after he “felt unwell” during a walk at the IK-3 penal colony in remote Kharp, about 1,200 miles northeast of Moscow.
However, the US joined other nations in bluntly blaming warmongering Russian President Putin.
