As reported exclusively by russian sources at the moment, he lost consciousness after a walking hour and prison medics were unsuccessful in reanimating him, as per sources in УФСИН (government body regulating prisons and punishment). He was 47 years old at that time. The last time he was heard of he was moved from Moscow-based prison into the IK-3 named Polar Wolf, a penal colony located in a permafrost region near the town of Harp, where he found his end.

No other sources commented on that by now. At that time, there's no independent proof of that or other explanations but the one given by prison authorities.

A fitting reminder is that presidential elections are to be held in 15-17 of March, meaning it happened exactly one month prior to them.

I have anarchistic views I've sharpened by reading Bakunin, Shtirner, Graeber and Crimethinc guys. I teach them to others for what's possible in my prison of nations that Russia is. I do my part as little as it is.

I've supported Navlny not because I agreed to everything he said, but because he was an alternative to outright fascism of Vova. You can call me a platformist for that. I wouldn't care.

Navalny was a literal fascist who was unapologetic white supremacist and you had no problem allying with him. Your opinions can be safely discarded. It's quite telling that you anarchists end up supporting literal fascists when push comes to shove. I really don't care about anything else you might have to say.

I'm fed up with privileged internet commies telling me how I should act. I'd listen to a ukrainian who suffers in a current war, but not you, because we don't even share the common ground and you are easy to start hating me for no reason.

I'm not telling you how to act. I'm just pointing out that you ally yourself with racists and fascists. Other people can judge what you say based on that. I don't really care what people like you do or think. In my experience, there's no reasoning with people like you.
