“Navalny” is a slick production full of highly dubious claims, misinformation, and enough new Cold War propaganda impact to win an Oscar for best documentary. A version of this piece was originally published at The Komisar Scoop. Editor’s note: The Grayzone has amended this article, removing two claims that were not properly sourced in the article originally published by The Komisar Scoop, and replacing one regarding Navalny’s health condition with articles sourced to Intellinews and the Western-backed Russian opposition outlet, […]

First Circle: Limbo
Midway on our journey in life, we find ourselves in a dark kitchen, surrounded by oak cabinets and laminate flooring, our savings account wholly lost. Welcome to reno limbo, a place where nothing happens, as the good crews are booked for several centuries. In this circle, pagans shout “DIY!

Above the gates, a sign reads, ABANDON YOUR HOME, YE WHO CAN AFFORD IT.
