Navalny in the News

 This afternoon, across multiple German news sites....the top political prisoner in Russia....Alexei Navalny was reported 'moved' from his present prison.

Deal?  Navalny's office manager says the 'tip' was given, and no one says much over where he went.

Fairly known around Russia?  OH yeah.  You mention his name, and 99-percent of Russians know the guy.  Number one on Putin's 'hate-list'?  Probably somewhere in the top ten.

Two scenarios?

1.  He's been taken to some prison unit that is even more strict, and more isolation.

2.  The Duma crew in charge has asked the question....if Putin dies, how could we recharge the whole mess in the Ukraine, with the EU, and get sanctions dumped?  

So, maybe under scenario two.....there's this crazy talk taking place....dark room, with two pro-Putin folks talking over the idea that Navalny might be given the role of President, to resolve the mess upon Putin's death, end sanctions, and to get Ukraine off the 'stove'.

Russians often utter the phrase....'useful fool', and maybe they need one to unhinge the whole conflict and fix the resolution BS.
