Russia's most significant opposition leader for the past decade, Alexei Navalny, has died in prison inside the Arctic Circle, the prison service said.
Seen as President Vladimir Putin's most vociferous critic, Navalny was serving a 19-year jail term for offences widely considered politically motivated.
He was moved to an Arctic penal colony, considered one of the toughest jails, late last year.
The prison service in the Yamalo-Nenets district said he had "felt unwell" after a walk on Friday.
He had "almost immediately lost consciousness", it said in a statement, adding that an emergency medical team had immediately been called and tried to resuscitate him but without success.
The causes of his death were being established, Tass news agency reported.
Navalny's lawyer Leonid Solovyov told Russian media he would not be commenting yet, although his close aide Leonid Volkov wrote on X: "Russian authorities publish a confession that they killed Alexey Navalny in prison. We do not have any way to confirm it or to prove this isn't true."

> Who do you reckon will replace him? Any up-and-coming figures?
Nah, nobody. It'll be Putin and his successor (likely Alexey Dyumin) for the next 20 or so years I think. Whatever apparatus once existed for a Navalny figure to sneak through has been dismantled.

Ah, suspected so. Absolutely brain-dead decision to return to Russia. He gave his life for absolutely nothing. What a complete waste.

That actually would've been funny. Almost meme-like. If you're going to off a bloke, you might as well do it with some humour. This was just lame.

I think he massively over-estimated how popular/protected he was. He thought his masters in the West would be able to protect him but as Action Man is finding out, they'll dump you when you outlive your use.

Throckmorton announced his death weeks ago when he told the story of how him and Alexei escaped from gulag in a dog sled.

That is true! When do you think news about the siberian vampress and the reanimated body of Josef Stalin will hit?

This is the only reply in this topic that I've actually felt motivated to read all the way through. Thanks.
