Navalny has been stripped of the "prisoner of conscience" status. If this the case, then why hasn't there been a change in the article, vis-a-vis the above mentioned issue. 103.115.206.182 (talk) 05:59, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: Regrettably, Amnesty folded to political pressure and reinstated his prisoner of conscience status. I believe the article used to say as much, but it looks like it has since been edited to remove any mention of the revocation/reinstatement. Need to look into this, but that's where things are right now. Brusquedandelion (talk) 07:14, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
WP:NOTFORUM, next offence and you get back to ANI. You are repeating the same behavior you have already been blocked once, and this behavior is not acceptable. Ymblanter (talk) 09:05, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
It seems there's some confusion here- I was replying to someone not aware of Amnesty's reinstatement, to indicate the fact of reinstatement. I'm not soapboxing about an irrelevant subject; perhaps you didn't see the comment I was replying to. Hope this clears up any confusion. (Also, the one time you took me to ANI had nothing to do with WP:NOTAFORUM, so I'm not sure what the common denominator is other than me, you, and Navalny, but perhaps you got me mixed up with someone else? No worries if so.) Brusquedandelion (talk) 10:54, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Regrettably, Amnesty folded to political pressure is pretty clear soapboxing. No, I am not mixing you up with anybody else. Ymblanter (talk) 11:04, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
This is clearly not WP:NOTAFORUM. Soapboxing might be arguable here, as you addmited in a later reply. But this is well within customary limits, people express their opinions about matters shortly and don't discuss them here so it doesn't fall within WP:NOTAFORUM. If you were to tell them about WP:SOAPBOX every time they do this "WP:SOAPBOX" would be all over every talk page. Arguably, it's not even possible to have any meaninful discussion on any talk page if you can't fall a little within soapboxing. 177.57.147.69 (talk) 09:25, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Under Alexei Navalny's "Political positions" under "Ukraine", the statement about his view on the East Slavic States should be re-added either directly or rephrased to convey the same message that he may sometimes support Ukraine and sometimes show extreme nationalist sentiments:

"In early 2012, Navalny stated on Ukrainian TV, "Russian foreign policy should be maximally directed at integration with Ukraine and Belarus… In fact, we are one nation. We should enhance integration". During the same broadcast Navalny said "No one wants to make an attempt to limit Ukraine's sovereignty"

Here are the sources that were listed previously:

Krzysztof Nieczypor (25 February 2012). "Ukraine in "Big-Time Politics" of Alexey Navalny". Eastbook.eu. Archived from the original on 15 March 2014.
"Navalny: Integration with Belarus – Main Task for Russia". Telegraf.by. 13 February 2012. Archived from the original on 28 September 2013.

For the links, just go to the previous versions from this winter or maybe even spring. Overall, it seems quite dishonest to omit these previously stated quotes from Wikipedia to paint Navalny as anything other than quite ultranationalistic. MaximillionMax (talk) 20:49, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Early life

I'm not sure that this belongs to the Early Life section, or anywhere else in the article. It's well known that Navalny's father is an ethnic Ukrainian, so Navalny couldn't have possibly used the word Banderites referring to all Ukrainians as a slur (which would imply that there were no Ukrainians in his family). He's using it in the regular sense "my family is from Ukraine but they weren't supporters of OUN/Bandera". Alaexis¿question? 23:15, 12 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Agreed, this is not notable. Also a primary source. Mellk (talk) 17:36, 13 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
