The Spin

Anti-Russia narrative

There's no doubt that the Kremlin wants to silence Navalny, an outspoken critic of Pres. Vladimir Putin, given its politically-motivated charges against him. Regardless of whether these allegations of poisoning hold water, considering his repeated illnesses during his stints in isolated prison cells, they must be seriously investigated.

Pro-Russia narrative

Alexei Navalny's claims of being poisoned by Russian authorities have been proven false on multiple occasions. The truth is that Navalny is a convicted criminal that the West is using to mold new pretexts for anti-Russian sentiment. Any health issues he’s having while in solitary confinement have been properly addressed, and continued allegations of a mysterious poisoning plot are farcical.
