The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Thanks to the pressure exerted by thousands of people, authorities have finally handed the body of the most prominent Putin rival in decades to his loved ones — just a day before the traditional Orthodox prayers on the ninth day of death. Nevertheless, the Kremlin's continued refusal to permit an independent autopsy is a criminal attempt to get away with murder.

Establishment-critical narrative

It's no coincidence that the West has pointed fingers at the Kremlin — and Putin personally — over Navalny's tragic natural death, as its propaganda machine is now at full tilt to try to divert focus from defeats in Ukraine and the genocide in Gaza. If Western countries did live up to what they preached, Julian Assange wouldn't be subject to torture for exposing the US' ruthless killings.
