Russian Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny has reported spending 100 consecutive days in the penal colony in February to listen to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s state address. This method is part of the brainwashing going on in Russian prisons, which apparently doesn’t work for the political prisoner.
It’s just one of the many harassments Navalny endures in the Russian prison. Day after day, instead of listening to the radio, he listened to Putin’s confused chatter about NATO and the war in his spare time for 100 days. But nothing seems to be able to break the will of the opposition figure.
He allegedly asked the prison management if they could transfer him to “another Putin”. The answer was that he would have to listen to the 2023 State of the Union address for the rest of the year. “As soon as there is a new one, we will listen to it,” he said.
More absurd than absurd
Since this is illegal, Navalny said on Twitter that he had tried to take legal action against it. He was then told that this was due to his “educational work”. “Does that mean that Putin’s words are educational?” the politician then asked. “No!” the court said.
“But why are you turning that (the speech, note) on?” he asked. “This is the guide to educational work,” the court said. “So Putin is Education?” said Navalny. Then it’s “no” again and so the whole thing goes in circles ten times. “It is very practical when a judge nods to everything like a Chinese bobblehead and declares all actions of the authorities as ‘legitimate’,” Navalny concluded.
Prison system run by “really sick perverts”.
The Kremlin critic was arrested on his return from Germany in January 2021 and convicted of violating probation terms and fraud. According to Navalny, everything in Russian prisons is aimed at dehumanizing and harassing the prisoners.
“Everything you read about the horror and fascist crimes of our prison system is the truth. With one correction: the reality is even worse,” he wrote. There are the well-known mop rapes – things that normal people would never think about “The prison system is run not just by a real collection of thugs, but by real sick perverts.”
