A closer look on Alex Navalny‘s bio uncovers his attitude towards ideas and programs related somewhere between patriotism and nationalism. Normally our inner alert bells ring reading or hearing something which intents to that what we generally call in our European countries as right-winged. But when he faced a 15 days arrest for claiming freedom of speech the above mentioned circumstance was far from interest. And that justified. Navalny was in that moment a symbol for regime injustice. If he‘ll be it in common depends from his performance as serious taken sparring partner for Putin.
Yes, a sparring partner. Don‘t forget we‘re still talking about Russia. We have put off our federalistic-pluralistic-democratic glasses to see and to understand. The political leading figure still has to represent strength and physical energy. Otherwise he risks not being heard from the needed majority. Mainly intellectual types doesn‘t have the slightest chance to challenge someone like Putin. Khodorkovsky was one of the first making that painful experience. Navalny fullfills - not only on the surface - the needed demands to lead a movement per se against the President.
But flirting with too restrictive powers to overcome Putin‘s reignship may short- and middle-termed damage his reputation as resistance leader and therefore the international sympathy for him. If he‘s straight and clever and not figuring out as a new despot he‘ll realize the edge of the razorblade before sliding on it. As symbol for the necessary renewance of the political structures and the abolishment of corruption and fraud Navalny is a remarkable challenger who urges Putin to think twice about his next steps. But coming out as a right-winged populist Navalny will not only risk the actual international solidarity with the whole movement but also become an easy target for the regime apparatus pushing him exactly in that corner, discrediting or even arresting him again.

Yes, Alex Navalny is at the moment the most qualified boxer to enter the ring challenging Wladimir Putin. And we as his supporters only have to look that our favourite doesn't get too much involved with coaches pursuing their own sinister goals for the time after the fight night.
In the whole world people have nowadays the tools for being more aware than ever before. It‘s not that easy to hide the real intentions especially if it becomes political. The individuals of the international community can differ between honest and pure calculating intentions .. if they only want to.
