Navalny feels like a Soviet-era infomercial (Chicago Reader)

By all accounts—Kremlin sources aside—Alexei Navalny is a hero. A principled warrior fighting a righteous battle against insurmountable odds. His enemy won't even mention him by name, which everyone around Navalny takes as evidence that the strongman ...

In our current fake news era, it sounds like a put-on, but even if it happened exactly as portrayed, Navalny and his cronies’ cynical and mean-spirited mockery of the man on the other line—a man undoubtedly condemned to death because of his answering Navalny’s call—makes the “good guys” in this scenario look like real assholes. I bet they left the theater feeling like they’d made their position on the right side of history loud and clear. I watched this movie in a packed auditorium in Chicago. Prior to the screening, speeches in support of Ukraine, of freedom, etc. If I had a vote—which I don’t since I was stripped of citizenship when my family left the USSR in 1978—I’d cast it for Navalny in a second. Like I’d been manipulated using methods pioneered and perfected under the long-gone Soviet regime of my childhood. The most compelling sequence, when Navalny calls one of the chemists responsible for his attempted poisoning and gets the clueless man to admit to all the details of the plot, is difficult to take at face value.
