Except he was not fighting for democracy. He was a totalitarian. He had no problem with totalitarianism, he just was against CORRUPT totalitarianism.

He was against Ukrainian independence, he believed that Ukraine belonged to Mother Russia. He entertained dreams of a giant Russian Empire mush like Putin.

Unlike Putin, however, Navalny was a racist. He hated Muslims, and wanted to bomb Georgia and Chechnya into oblivion.

You seem to have bought the false Western idea of Navalny, He was anti-corruption, not pro-democracy.
