Russia on Tuesday sentenced four journalists it said were associated with late opposition leader Alexei Navalny to five and a half years in a penal colony, intensifying a crackdown on press freedom and Kremlin critics.

Navalny, Kremlin strongman Vladimir Putin's main opponent before he died, was declared an "extremist" by Russian authorities, a ruling that remains in force despite his death in an Arctic penal colony on February 16, 2024.

Moscow also banned Navalny's organizations as "extremist" shortly before launching its 2022 Ukraine offensive and has ruthlessly targeted those it deems to have links to him.

That's 5 and one half years Vlad. They are sentenced to this more than a year after you had Alexei murd.....oh wait, Alexei just happened to die in your prison, good golly gee. Why now are you sentencing these people to hell? Is someone worried about what the near future holds? Hmmmm. Oh Yeah, give me a call. When can we talk about that Palm Sunday Bombing of Ukrainians in Sumy?

I'm going to post this video right here. It is from Alexei Navalny's YouTube channel, still an active channel even after his murder at the hands of Putin's thugs. How did Putin go from dirt poor in his childhood to this? RIP Alexei The video is almost two hours long if you care to save it for when you have more time. There is English dubbing over most of it but you might activate the closed caption feature just in case.
