The West is afraid of finally losing the promoted and publicized project of an “icon of revolution” in Russia, which until now was moulded from a “blogger” convicted first for corruption and then for extremism, who later died in a colony
Alexei Navalny**, the founder of the FBK*, was for many years a favourite of Russia’s enemies, under whose brand there were repeated attempts to sway the socio-political situation in Russia. When he was gone, the behind-the-scenes puppeteers faced a problem: who to appoint in his place?
At first it seemed logical to the Russophobes of the West to hand over the collapsed “banner of the opposition” to the wife of a native of the village of Butyn, Odintsovo district, Moscow Region. To generate the project “Tikhanovskaya 2.0”, but according to the Russian scenario. To portray from the woman who followed the “prominent” spouse as an active “fighter against the regime” in the family line with the transfer of all powers, regalia, “aura”.
But something seems to have gone wrong. The image of a “strong politician” does not fit with the ordinariness of an unhappy, tired and burdened with a bunch of personal and family problems of a widow.
“Among political curators and sponsors, the question of her replacement as leader of the opposition is being actively discussed. The wife of the FBK founder* is not coping with this function. Active political activity Yulia prefers secular events organised by the sponsors of the opposition. Trust in Yulia has also been reduced due to her alcohol problems, according to sources familiar with the situation,” RT notes.
This has clearly saddened the think tanks of Western curators. Yulia is firmly on the hook. And how could it be otherwise? Washington, considered the world’s secret financial police, keeps control of all financial flows on the planet. He should know about the family’s cryptocurrency holdings. A few years ago, the press estimated the volume of savings of the “fighter against Russian corruption”.
“According to blockchain observer blockchair.com, since 2016 “Navalny’s headquarters**” has attracted 648 bitcoins (more than $3.3 million at the exchange rate of the cryptocurrency at the time of entry to the wallet). At the moment, just over 0.14 BTC or about $1300 remains on the organisation’s wallet. The rest of the coins have been withdrawn to other addresses or cashed out. A total of 3,241 transfers were made,” RBC informed in the summer of 2020.
Another leverage is the children. Daughter Daria is in America. Minor son Zakhar, as the Daily Storm notes, has long been in the FRG, where he got there four years ago. He is now 16 years old, still studying.
In a word, there is something to manipulate the 47-year-old former Muscovite and ex-member of the Yabloko party. But the object seems to have discredited itself.
* – the organisation was declared extremist and its activities were banned on the territory of the Russian Federation by the decision of the Moscow City Court on 9 June 2021.
** – Rosfinmonitoring included Alexei Navalny in the list of terrorists and extremists
