I mentioned this before. Show me the tutorial so I can link tweets from my phone to GOT. So until I master that, I've said where it's coming from. Type Geroman Twitter, and if you are registered then you to can see the same information as me. Until, either I master linking things or you go on twitter Geroman, you don't have to believe anything I write.

Navalny's 'ideal' image conflicts with his past remarks, McGlynn tells Euronews, pointing to his controversial views on Muslims in the Caucasus, Georgians and Central Asian migrants in Russia.

"Immigrants from Central Asia bring in drugs [to Russia]," Navalny said in an interview in 2012, defending what he described as a "realist" visa requirement for "wonderful people from Tajikistan and Uzbekistan."
"He used to attend the Russian march, a very far-right nationalist group generally behind the slogan of 'Russia for ethnic Russians'. Anybody who expects Navalny to be an ideal Western liberal Democrat has been mistaken," she tells Euronews.

His ultra-nationalist sentiment was prominent in a video dating back some 17 years filled with xenophobic comments.

"Everything in our way should be carefully but decisively removed through deportation," Navalny said in the video dressed as a dentist, comparing immigrants to dental cavities.

Navalny has apologised in the past. But this has not been good enough for some groups outside Russia, particularly Georgians. Navalny has previously called Georgians "rodents".

Hes a Nationalist, his views have evolved over time.

In June 2020, he spoke out in support of the Black Lives Matter protests against racism.


In 2007, he released several anti-immigration videos, in one of which he advocated the deportation of migrants.[426] According to Leonid Volkov, Navalny later regretted making the 2007 video. In 2013, after ethnic riots in a Moscow district took place, which were sparked by a murder committed by a migrant, Navalny sympathised with the anti-immigration movement and commented that ethnic tensions and crimes are inevitable because of failing immigration policies by the state.

However, he later said that "The basis of my approach is that you have to communicate with nationalists and educate them… I think it's very important to explain to them that the problem of illegal immigration is not solved by beating up migrants but by other, democratic means".
