The re-routing of @navalny flight, the arrest of his brother and close friends, along with the massive police presence at the airport remind us of the classic dictator's playbook – the opposition is first arrested, and next, eliminated. @IlvesToomas @edwardlucas @anders_aslund https://t.co/SebN9bO 1 atbildes

Putin has clearly been learning from Lukashenka, especially using police and security services to suppress the opposition. Clashing with Putin’s regime requires extraordinary bravery, which @navalny continues to show in his fight for Russia's democratic future. @vkaramurza | |
