The Spin

Anti-Russia narrative

Amid fears that the death of Navalny could extinguish hope for Russia, his courageous compatriots have shown that the opposition leader is gone but not forgotten — and that his legacy will endure as a symbol of resistance against Putin and his regime. They knew they were unlikely to be allowed in the funeral but gathered outside anyway to honor Navalny.

Pro-Russia narrative

It's outrageous, though not surprising, that fellow Russians who attended the funeral of extremist Navalny in Moscow shouted Ukrainian Nazi slogans in blatant disrespect for soldiers fighting for the nation on the front. This isn't democracy or freedom but only treason and open hostility against Russia.
