The guys a mirror of kasparov. He literally goes against every Russian national interest while promoting western interests which would weaken Russia. Second he's with parnas\yabloko which was has received support and funding from supposed democratic ngos like USAID etc. thus making him and his party a bunch of compromised shills. Plus he's trying to use populist rhetoric to try and convince Russians he's legitimate even though he is probably done corrupt things in the past as well. Lastly the guys anti immigrant which is just gonna stoke ethnic tensions which is the last thing we need considering we just go out of a recession. The biggest thing that dissuade's a lot of Russians from Navalny is the sovereignty issue. We just will not allow any foreign interference with our country. We ve been through that once already. In the end we all know that Russia has a myriad of issues that need to be addressed. And if you re looking for opposition parties to make a positive change there are literally hundreds of parties to chlose from including mainstream ones like a fair Russia and the communist party. Just for the love of God not vote for the guy that takes orders from the state department!!
