- Stas Olenchenko, “The only force that is actually doing all the fighting against Putin’s regime is Ukraine’s armed forces. That is the uncomfortable truth that Free Navalny tries to cover up. That is why they exploit the anti-war rhetoric for their own benefit. That is why we’re not allies.”, January 23, 2023
- Marichka Buchelnikova, “The uncomfortable truth for Navalny’s fans: 1. His team doesn’t care about Ukraine’s fight. They treat it as their primary fundraising competitor. 2. The best way to free Navalny is to donate to Ukraine’s military resistance – not to a team of YouTubers and politicians in exile.”, January 23, 2023
- Albert Pokaninow “Navalny is a plan B for Russian KGB. They need him to replace Putin if something goes wrong. Russian liberals is doing job that Kremlin can’t do - promoting Navalny on the West. Free Navalny has a lot of money, money of Russian oligarchs. But w/ western money it will be cheaper”, January 24, 2023
- Azamat Junisbai, “Image of Navalny promoted in the West omits inconvenient facts. The record must be set straight. It is true that Navalny is imprisoned on politically motivated charges. His opposition to Putin and his bravery are real. Unfortunately, this is not the whole story.”
- Kuba Litwińczuk, “One Russian imperialist imprisoned another Russian imperialist due to their power struggle. That’s like 90% of the story.”
- Ukraine Explainers, “Navalny’s team has launched a huge Free Navalny campaign with Anne Applebaum among its advisers and aspirations to win the Oscar for the Navalny movie. Good for them. Ukrainians and many other nations colonized by Russia are increasingly critical of the campaign. Here’s why:”, January 23, 2023 (thread) (pdf)
- Ostap Yarysh, “Many in the West praise Russian opposition leader #Navalny and the Oscar-nominated documentary about him. But there’s something else to remember: Being anti-Putin doesn’t negate Navalny’s imperialist and chauvinist views. Let’s take a look at specific examples in this thread 🧵”, January 27, 2023 (thread) (pdf) “Is Navalny anti-Putin? Yes. Was he wrongfully imprisoned by Kremlin for this? Absolutely. Is he anti-war? He says so. But does he reject the colonial approach and the idea of Russian superiority/dominance over other nations? Definitely not. And this is something to keep in mind.”

- Oksii, Recently, I have seen a lot of propaganda about “good” Navalny. They are losing and are preparing a new imperialistic Tsar Navalny to save empire. Why is it dangerous? In perspective, Navalny will become a disaster on the scale of Hitler with russian suprimacy ideology. (thread) (pdf)

- Sergej Sumlenny, “Navalny calls his supporters to actively participate in “elections in 40 regions of Russia” this September. Needless to say, ‘elections’ will take place in 36 regions, other four are Ukrainian regions Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhya. But this is not all.”, August 21, 2023
