Russian opposition leader? Based on what exactly? The number of YouTube views which might be mainly by viewers in the west including the same mainstream media journalists trying to hype his story up?
If Navalny is the leader of the Russian opposition and he could barely get less than 1% on his side, Putin is very lucky.

But to be frank, this is not out of style for the western MSM, look at other places: In Syria for example, they tried to prop up some figures as Syrian opposition leaders to drop them very fast when they discovered most of them were linked to Al Qaeda, then they tried to find some from the opposition figures abroad and they couldn't come up with a single individual who claims he has support among the Syrian people or can stand any chance against the Syrian President Assad in any elections who enjoys the support of at least 16 million Syrians inside Syria not to mention people like myself abroad and we're the majority among the Syrians just look at the last elections in Lebanon how 400,000 Syrian refugees voted for Assad because unlike what the western MSM feeds you these people fled the terrorists not the government; the western MSM couldn't even get the support of the people under the occupation of Al Qaeda in regions they claim they have support in.
In Venezuela, it gets much clearer with the US and its European puppets trying to make a president out of Guaido who had quite good support inside his country and managed to snap the seat of the parliament speaker but lost most of that support when he tried to carry out a bloody coup, several times and was helping foreign countries starve his own people, where is he today?
And this applies to their attempts in every country they targeted to 'export their surplus of democracy', especially the surplus of the US democracy (US democracy LOL), but they don't have any issues with countries that do not oppose them and which they can 'milk' like what Trump used to say about the Saudi king, for instance. Where's their support for the Saudi opposition? There are no Saudi opposition figures? Qatari? Ukrainian? Sudanese after they accepted to establish ties with Israel? No opposition? Not a single one? Despite the mass beheadings in Saudi and the prolonged prison sentences in Bahrain and Qatar, and the unrest in Sudan?
Navalny knew he will be arrested upon arrival as there's a criminal case against him, who sent him knew he will be arrested, but that's exactly what was needed, building the Russian NordStream2 gas pipelines supply to Germany is resumed and in its final stage and the US wants to sell Germany its much more expensive shale gas, what's better than using this 'Russian opposition leader' to get a new round of sanctions against Russia, the country of 146 million people who do not agree nor support Navalny and who were harmed by western sanctions which also harmed thousands of farmers in the European Union itself, btw, but who cares about those, 'let's export the surplus of our democracy to Russia'.
I'm not Russian and I don't even speak the Russian language and surely the Russians can address this farce far better than me and they're doing so but not on western mainstream propaganda outlets, on the platforms that matter which are followed by their people not western people, it's the western hypocrisy which killed and harmed and continue to kill and harm millions of my people that I'm highlighting.
