Investigation into Navalny's Death
Key Findings on Navalny's Poisoning
- Svetov discusses a joint statement by five countries confirming that Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a toxin derived from an Ecuadorian frog, specifically Epibatidine.
- The findings were reported by The Insider after independent laboratories analyzed biological samples taken by Navalny's family posthumously.
Implications of the Findings
- While confirmation of poisoning is significant, Svetov believes it lacks political weight as there were already widespread suspicions regarding Navalny’s treatment in Russian custody.
- He reflects on how this revelation does not change the current situation for Navalny’s team or their operations following his death.
Legacy and Impact of Navalny's Work
Current State of Opposition Movements
- Svetov expresses concern over how the Anti-Corruption Foundation has diminished without Navalny at its helm, losing credibility among Russian citizens.
- He laments that those who continue to claim his legacy have squandered it, leading to disillusionment among supporters.
Recent Developments: Telegram Blockage
Government Actions Against Telegram
- The main news this week involves attempts to block Telegram in Russia; users are experiencing difficulties with calls and file sharing through the app.
Censorship Strategies
- Svetov explains that Roskomnadzor is pushing users towards a government-controlled messaging platform where communications are transparent to authorities.
- He notes that this move represents a broader strategy to isolate Russia from foreign social media platforms while maintaining control over domestic communication channels.
Political Consequences of Telegram's Blocking
The Context of Telegram's Success
- The success of protests in 2016-2018 for Telegram was largely due to its reliance on major Russian services, which created a dependency that made blocking it politically risky for the Kremlin.
Kremlin's Strategic Adaptation
- Over the past eight years, the Kremlin has learned from its previous attempts to block Telegram and can now act without risking destabilization of essential services.
Regional Internet Control
- In certain border regions, white lists have been implemented, limiting internet access to only key services like Yandex Taxi and banking applications.
Lack of Public Tools Against Censorship
- Currently, there are no effective tools for society to express dissent against the censorship policies enforced by the Kremlin.
Unexpected Support for Telegram
- Notable figures such as State Duma member Mironov and various public groups have rallied in support of Telegram, highlighting its role as a platform for intellectual discourse among Russians.
The Future of Internet Access in Russia
Potential Outcomes for Telegram
- There is a likelihood that Telegram may be blocked in Russia or forced into concessions that regionalize visibility within the country.
Global Internet Fragmentation
- The concept of "internet balkanization" is becoming more prevalent globally, with countries like Germany and Australia also attempting to restrict free internet access.
Kremlin’s Influence on Global Trends
- Vladimir Putin is seen as leading global trends in internet control, demonstrating how strategic objectives can lead to significant results regarding information accessibility.
Challenges with VPN Usage
Efficacy of VPN Solutions
- While some users claim VPN usage allows continued access to blocked platforms like Instagram, many VPN services are already rendered ineffective within Russia due to targeted blocking efforts.
Infrastructure Limitations
- Many popular VPN providers are blocked because they rely on infrastructure hosted by companies like Google and Amazon that are inaccessible from within Russia.
Political Decisions Impacting Access
- The current availability of some VPN services hinges on political decisions; if deemed a threat, further restrictions could be imposed rapidly.
Concerns About Information Accessibility
Uncertain Future Scenarios
- The potential future where communication becomes increasingly restricted raises concerns about how individuals will connect with loved ones or understand events occurring both domestically and internationally.
Political Landscape and Internet Control in Russia
The State of the Russian Internet
- There is a hope that some access to the global internet will remain in Russia, but the platform for political discussion and organization has effectively ended.
- The Russian internet (Runet) is now completely isolated and under the control of state security services, limiting any potential political life to new rules or technologies.
- Future political organizations may revert to 19th-century methods: offline gatherings, secrecy, and reduced transparency.
Changes in Social Media Platforms
- Discord announced it will implement automatic Face ID for age verification starting March; this involves processing video selfies for age checks.
- Previous age verification systems on Discord faced severe breaches, leaking personal data of millions; current changes are likely influenced by government pressures.
- The introduction of stringent verification measures could lead to a decline in user engagement on platforms like Discord, similar to past experiences with Tumblr and MySpace.
Impact of Censorship on Communication Tools
- Platforms like Tumblr lost significant user bases after changing content policies; Discord may face similar fates due to new regulations.
- Users might shift towards fully anonymous messaging apps as censorship increases; however, tools like Simplex are also vulnerable to blocking by authorities.
Future of Messaging Applications
- Simplex is recommended as a secure communication tool that uses cryptographic algorithms instead of phone numbers or emails for registration.
- Without further decentralization in communication tools, there’s a risk they will be blocked globally; Simplex currently operates well outside Russia's restrictions.
Broader Implications of Censorship
- The trend towards white lists—where only compliant messaging apps are allowed—could stifle free communication worldwide.
- A decentralized approach is essential for maintaining privacy and security in communications amidst increasing governmental oversight.
Telegram's Role in Military Communication
Telegram's Importance for Russian Forces
- Telegram has been crucial for Russian military communications due to its ability to maintain anonymity among soldiers on the front lines.

- Dmitry Peskov's comments on blocking Telegram highlight the Kremlin's prioritization of power stability over military communication advantages.
Implications of Blocking Telegram
- Peskov expresses disbelief that the military uses secure communication tools like Telegram, signaling an inevitable block regardless of its utility for armed forces.
- The Kremlin aims to suppress civil solidarity channels that platforms like Telegram facilitate, viewing them as risks to authority.
Ukrainian Perspective on Telegram Blockage

Men Can Now Give Birth?
European Parliament's Resolution on Transgender Rights
- The European Parliament has allowed men to give birth, marking a controversial step towards gender equality. This was highlighted by the rejection of an amendment stating that individuals born male cannot become pregnant.
- Europarliament member Tomáš Frolich described the voting outcome as absurd, with only 200 out of 540 members agreeing that men cannot give birth. A majority of 233 voted against this notion, while 107 abstained from voting.
- A previous resolution called for medical professionals to refrain from questioning transgender identities, reflecting a broader trend in liberal Western elites' approach to gender issues. The discussion around biological reality versus social roles is emphasized as a manipulation tactic by these elites.
Critique of Gender Ideology
- The speaker argues that claims about men giving birth and transitioning into women represent a significant departure from biological truths, labeling it as madness and suggesting future historians will view this era as farcical and in decline.
- References are made to Orwellian themes where loyalty to party ideology requires acceptance of illogical statements, such as "two plus two equals five," drawing parallels with current demands regarding gender identity recognition.
National Security Concerns in Finland

This highlights perceived double standards in political discourse surrounding immigration and safety measures.
Legal Disparities Highlighted
- An example from Kentucky illustrates how racial biases can influence legal outcomes; a black judge reduced a rapist's sentence due to his experiences with racism, raising concerns about fairness and justice for victims based on race rather than crime severity.

- Under Norwegian law, Carlsen is required to pay a wealth tax of 1% on his estimated net worth of $9 million.
Consequences of Wealth Taxation
- The speaker questions the logic behind increasing wealth taxes, suggesting that it leads wealthy individuals to leave the country and results in decreased tax revenue.

Urban Decline in America
- The speaker argues that leftist governance is leading to the deterioration of American cities like Detroit, which were once prosperous but have now become neglected.
- Capital flight occurs as businesses relocate to states with fewer regulations and lower taxes.
Future Conflicts in Europe
Predictions of Civil War
- A viewer asks about the likelihood of civil war within the European Union over the next 20–30 years. The speaker believes such a scenario is highly probable due to ongoing cultural conflicts.
