I have already spoken clearly about the “doubts over who authored” those words, and I will repeat myself one last time—kindly and constructively, but firmly. Some of those repeating this lie are simply foolish. We can forgive them. Some are hypocrites. They know they are lying, but pretend otherwise. Fine, that too. But the organizers and the persistent, relentless promoters of this idea are not only disgusting scoundrels and shameless people, but also public informers (snitches). Let me explain. What was I just given 19 years for? For words. Literally. For posts and videos that Putin’s court declared extremist. A significant portion of them were published AFTER I was imprisoned. And in the terrorism case currently under investigation, the substance of the accusation is the same—internet publications. But all of them were published after I was jailed. You cannot imagine how closely the interests and arguments of those liars and crooks discussing whether I really authored these texts on social media align with those of Putin’s investigators. — So, are you the one writing this? Confirm that you are the author. And how exactly are you writing it? No, let’s discuss it. Technically, how is this done? Do you have a phone, or are you passing things through someone? Through your lawyers or through letters? We need to know absolutely everything. Explain yourself to us. That is why what these bastards are doing is a public denunciation. They know everything perfectly well, they understand everything, and yet they keep at it: “And how will you prove it’s really you? Come on, reveal all the details. Otherwise we’ll keep putting on our fucking circus every single time, claiming that you’re not the one writing this.” (Watch the full video on the Navalny YouTube channel; read the post on the navalny.com blog.
