    Damn shame. He would have been one hell of an upgrade over Putin.

      Anyone short of Stalin would be an improvement over Putin, Navalny was decent by Russian government standards only.

        Putin is a ticking time bomb. Replacing him with anyone even moderately more amenable would be an improvement.
