Timestamps from yesterday’s live broadcast:
0:38 Live on air: Alexei Navalny — or “a man worn down by failure and hooked on cocaine again” (according to Prigozhin-linked media).
1:23❗️The ACF (Anti-Corruption Foundation) is a “foreign agent.”
3:14 “You are the ones who send us money. We live quite modestly, and it is your support that sustains us. So we have never needed any foreign money.”
3:42 Today we’re raising donations to support “foreign agents.” Support our work: http://streamlabs.com/navalnylive
5:22 “They carried out all these searches and found that there was nothing there. There is no secret, shady story behind the ACF,” Navalny says about the searches conducted after a criminal case was opened against the ACF.
6:52 🎥 The propaganda TV channel REN TV accidentally exposed a staged operation against the ACF.
7:24 “Any of you understands that a payment order cannot end up in anyone’s hands except the bank’s — in this case, a Spanish bank. And we strongly doubt that a Spanish bank would risk its license in order to hand that payment order over to REN TV.”
8:40 How searches were carried out at the accounting firm that had a contract with Navalny.
12:18 “Our case is being handled by 112 investigators for especially important cases. 112 people are busy investigating the ACF case — a case that doesn’t exist! And the main thing they managed to come up with was simply to send someone to Spain and transfer 140,000 rubles here.”
15:47 “In Russia, it is fundamentally impossible to expect any independent courts or any normal law enforcement system if they openly carry out schemes like this. That means they can do it to absolutely anyone.”
17:57❓Is there any fundamental difference between a “foreign agent” and an “agent of foreign intelligence”?
19:38 ACF lawyers went to the Ministry of Justice to obtain the decision adding the ACF to the “foreign agents” list. But the Ministry didn’t have it.
21:00❓What do you expect from the “sovereign internet” set to come into force in November?
22:04 “The Kremlin’s plan is to cut off our funding and paralyze our work. They think they can paralyze us by blocking our accounts. It can make our work much more difficult — that’s true. But they won’t be able to paralyze it, because you are still there”: http://streamlabs.com/navalnylive
25:40❗️Pay the police: the Interior Ministry demanded 18 million rubles from opposition activists to cover police work at two protest rallies in Moscow.
29:50 “We have so many police officers who do nothing. We are already feeding this whole horde — an unimaginable number of generals, an unimaginable number of headquarters staff. There are very few local precinct officers, very few genuinely useful detectives. But there is a huge number of pointless idiots who take bribes, extort people, and do nothing.”
31:57 🎥 What the best investigator in Oryol Region looks like.
33:56 🎥 Who brought an abnormally large police presence into Moscow.
34:46 “Then let the Interior Ministry explain why we spend 30 percent of the budget on a law enforcement system that does nothing. The number of terrorist attacks is rising, the number of murders is enormous, and about 20,000 people a year die in road accidents.”
38:16 “We do not intend to put up with this brazenness. And if anyone thinks they will keep advancing on us while we retreat, that is absolutely not the case.”
38:32❗️Nemtsov. 60 years old.
39:07 “I can still clearly state my version: Nemtsov’s murder was ordered and organized by Ramzan Kadyrov and his close associate Eremeev,” Navalny says about Russia’s most high-profile political assassination.
41:42❗️Cannibals.
43:26 “Looking at this poster, the judges — who are obviously criminals — handed down the following sentence: one person got 6.7 years in a maximum-security penal colony, another got 6.6 years in a maximum-security penal colony, and one got a 3-year suspended sentence,” Navalny says about the verdict against activists who staged a picket in support of fire victims in Rostov.
47:01 “This government should be hated by every decent person.”
47:24 🎥 Why Kirill Zhukov, a defendant in the “Moscow case,” was sentenced to 3 years in a penal colony.
48:40 🎥 A fervent Putin supporter covered up a tattoo of Putin’s face because of what is happening in the country.
51:47❓Do you think people serving in the police and the National Guard (Rosgvardiya) really believe that everything will turn out fine everywhere — especially for them — and that all this “commotion” is temporary?
53:18❓When will the joint video by Navalny and Stalingulag be released?
53:30❓How can you show your passport to a police officer without letting go of it?
54:05❓If there are people who want the truth, the ACF cannot be shut down.
56:55 🎥 What the central hospital in the city of Voskresensk, Moscow Region, looks like.
1:01:01 “If you care so much about healthcare, then stop funding your lousy regional newspapers or cut the governor’s upkeep, and pour much more money into healthcare,” Navalny says about Moscow Region officials for whom voluntary health insurance policies worth 1.7 billion rubles are to be arranged.
1:01:40❗️For now, the doctors are losing.
1:02:21 📞 Comment from Anastasia Vasilyeva, head of the Doctors’ Alliance trade union, on the situation at the Blokhin Cancer Center.
1:05:21 🎥 The Teachers’ Alliance secured pay raises in Kostroma Region.
1:07:02❗️The shaman is back!
1:07:10 🎥 The people are my protection: an address by Shaman Alexander Gabyshev.
1:08:42 “This is simply an amazing story about how grassroots unwillingness to tolerate this government, which has been in power for 20 years, breaks through by all sorts of very exotic means,” Navalny says about the Yakut shaman’s march.
1:11:22 “The Anti-Corruption Foundation, even if they declare us extraterrestrial agents, will continue to exist as long as you support us.”
