I think this the the most upset I've ever been about anything comparable internationally. I just can't believe it. Even though there's really nothing to be surprised about, since Putin has been wanting him dead for years.
In case anyone is interested, there's the documentary:
Navalny

So shocked and grieved to hear about Alexei Navalny's death.

You do all know that he was not only a racist but also an anti-Semitic anti -muslim white supremacist oligarch though, don't you?

I don't think many people will be shocked at all - he was a dead man walking for a long time - it was inevitable sadly.
The excellent (Oscar winning I think) documentary about him is on BBC iPlayer
www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0016txs
it includes one if the most amazing bits of journalism I've ever seen - Navalny making calls to the agents who tried to poison him.

16 years ago. I don't know whether he really changed his views or toned them down in order to get Western support, what I do know is that he would still have been vastly better than Putin for Russia.
I wouldn't agree with all of his politics but he was an immensely brave man and a giant compared to that pygmy Putin.
