“I live like Putin and [Dmitry] Medvedev”. The authorship of the sentence is unexpected: it was written by Alexei Navalny, one of the best-known faces of the opposition to the Russian president, who currently lives in a high-security prison, the Melekhovo prison, famous for the reports of acts. of torture
The statement was made in a series of tweet posted on Navalny’s official account on this social network. Since his arrest, his account has been updated with first-person statements, transmitted by the Russian political opponent to his lawyers.
The points of contact between the current life of Navalny, detained in prison, and Putin are detailed in this series of tweets published this Friday. “That’s what I think when I look at the fence that surrounds my fourth“, reads one of the messages. “Everyone has the normal fence. But I have one that is six meters high, a type of fence that I have only seen in our investigations of the palaces of Putin and Medvedev.”
Putin not only lives but works in such a place: in Novo-Ogaryovo or Sochi. And I live in a similar place,” Navalny said.
The opponent of the Kremlin continues with the comparisons, in the published messages: “Putin has ministers in the waiting room for six hours, my lawyers have to wait five or six hours to see me. I have a loudspeaker in my barracks that plays songs like ‘Glory to the FSB [agência russa que substituiu o KGB] and I think Putin will too. However, this is where the similarities end” between their lives, Navalny argues.
As for lifestyle differences, Navalny points out that Putin “sleeps until ten in the morning,” while for him “ten in the morning is lunchtime, because I go to work at 6:40. ”. In addition to giving details about his entire routine in the Melekhovo high-security prison, the political opponent explicitly writes that after work he has to sit “for a few hours on a wooden bench, under a portrait of Putin.” These are “disciplinary activities”, according to Navalny, which he has to carry out both on weekdays and on Saturdays.
