            key:"value": string:"<p><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">On February 16th 2024, Alexei Navalny died in Russian prison. Navalny was considered one of the most prominent leaders of the Russian opposition. He initially gained popularity through his extensive work exposing Russian state corruption. Later on, his charismatic personality, protest activism and savvy use of the Internet elevated him to be one of the most famous figures of the Russian democratic movement, both in Russia and in the West. After the Kremlin’s failed poisoning attempt in 2020, Navalny returned to Russia from Germany, where he was subsequently arrested and imprisoned. It is widely believed that the poor conditions of the prison and the well-documented, appalling treatment of Navalny were contributing factors towards his death. Of course, this suggests that it was the Russian state that ultimately killed him. </span></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Not long after Navalny’s death, his memoirs were released under the name <em>The Patriot</em>. In his book, Navalny wrote about his youth; his activism; his fight against Russian dictatorship; his time in prison; and ultimately his patriotism for Russia. In the West, Navalny’s image remains that of a brave hero, committed to democratic values and the idea of a free Russia. What is, however, missing from this forming legacy of Navalny is his imperialist rhetoric, to which he remained loyal right up until his death.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Navalny’s imperialist tendencies firstly came to popular notice when Russia invaded Georgia in 2008. In his blog, Navalny compared Georgian people to rodents and called for the bombardment of Sakartvelo. His most famous foreign policy statement, however, was the “sandwich quote”. In 2014, he was asked in an interview if he would return Crimea, which was just illegally annexed by Russia. He replied asking if Crimea is a “sandwich or something that you can take and give back?” These brazen comments show that Navalny did not focus much on Russia’s imperial conquests. Indeed, Patalakh’s article on Navalny published in 2018 notes that Navalny paid only marginal attention to Russia’s foreign policy. Instead, he saw Russia’s domestic issues, such as corruption and poverty, as a priority. </p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><strong>A historic problem</strong></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>There is also a wider issue – postcolonial studies (the academic field dedicated to the study and understanding of the colonial past and present) barely exists in Russia. In fact, some major postcolonial thinkers, such as Edward Said or Gayatri Spivak, are considered to be radical left figures. As a result, they are frowned upon in Russia as they are in conflict with the country’s traditional conservative values. However, the real reason for this omission is different. Russia has not only failed to acknowledge its colonial crimes but continues to actively commit them. As opposed to the European colonial powers which accepted that colonial expansion was inhumane and began to acknowledge their historical wrongs, Russia continues to deny that it committed any imperial aggression. Whilst the Baltic states provide numerous evidence-based accounts that they were occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940, Russia claims no such occupation ever took place. Whilst Russian troops entered the territory of Ukraine on February 24th 2022 in a blatant act of war, Russia claims it was only defending the people of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Both of these areas were destabilized by an aggressive and unlawful Russian intervention in the first place. Therefore, postcolonial studies directly contradicts the Russian foreign policy of imperialism in its “near abroad”. As a matter of fact, on December 29th 2024, Putin approved Russia’s new “Strategy for Countering Extremism”. This has led to organizations that promote the idea of Russia’s possible decolonization as extremist.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>It is perhaps not surprising that such denial was also persistent in Navalny’s political rhetoric. In his <em>Washington Post</em> opinion article from 2022, he attributed imperialist tendencies to the Kremlin only. However, he failed to explain why the war continues to have popular support. On his Twitter (now X) post of April 14th 2022, Navalny said that opinion polls are inaccurate and especially so in authoritarian states. However, a good study from Kizilova and Norris from 2022 demonstrated that cultural and historical preconditions would have the greatest influence on Russian society’s opinions towards the invasion. Whilst opinions can be somewhat swayed by threats and force, the scales could not shift to nearly 80 per cent approval without any genuine support from the public. On February 20th 2023, on X, Navalny also answered the question if “all Russians are inherently imperialistic?” with a categorical no. He proceeded to compare Russia and Belarus, which in itself was bizarre considering Belarus was never an empire to begin with and, on the contrary, was at the receiving end of Russian imperialism herself. From Navalny’s somewhat peculiar statements related to Russian imperialism (as well as the lack of them), it is clear he did not pay much importance to the imperialist ideology behind Russia’s continued wars of aggression.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>This persistent denial makes Navalny complicit in Russian imperialist narratives. It is not possible to address the crimes of Russian imperialism if they are actively denied. Whilst Navalny spoke out against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and has even retracted his statements about Georgians and Crimea, he failed to address the persistent imperialist ideology that poisons Russian society. Navalny’s attribution of Russian imperialism to the Kremlin only creates a false narrative that the wars in Chechnya, Georgia, Syria and Ukraine were solely waged by Putin. However, Russia waged imperialist wars for centuries before Putin and his dictatorship rose to power. They are not the cause of Russian imperialism. Russia was the third-largest empire and the most durable of all time. While the European colonial societies started to acknowledge their colonial crimes, nothing of the sort has happened in Russia. Therefore, the imperialist consciousness continues to live in Russian society unchallenged. The denial of it allows Russian imperialism to continue, shifting all the blame onto the Kremlin and maintaining the Russian people’s imperial innocence.</p>\n<p><strong>A deadly blame game</strong></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Navalny also displays imperialist beliefs through the ideas of Russian victimhood. As Russia conquered further lands, the conquered nations in the west such as Ukraine, Belarus or the Baltic states were ruled primarily by assimilation. This is centred on the idea that the colonizer and the colonized are “one people”, with Russia being the dominant, inherently superior nation. This provided the ideology and the justification for Russia to conquer its neighbours. To further promote this mode of domination, a number of repressive Russification policies followed to that effect. These included the banning of any non-Russian languages and alphabets; deportation based on ethnic grounds; the importation of Russian nationals; and the erasure of national identity and culture. Over centuries of Russification and continuous “one nation” propaganda, this narrative began to entrench itself in Russian society. In conjunction with the persistent denial of their own imperialist sentiment mentioned earlier, Russians began to also equate their victimhood to the countries occupied by Russia. Russians would say that they were also the victims of serfdom, of the Russian civil war, of Stalin’s repressions, and today, of Putin’s authoritarian grip.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Navalny’s statements on Twitter also repeatedly highlight that the suffering of Ukrainians is on par with the suffering of the Russians. In his statement on mobilization issued on September 23rd 2023, he stated that “I oppose the fact hundreds of thousands of our people are being sent to kill other people, innocent people like them [Ukrainians].” Despite Russia invading Ukraine and committing horrifying war crimes against civilians, Navalny also continued to separate the Russian nation from the Russian government. In another statement issued on September 21st 2023, Navalny said that “Putin is tormenting the neighbouring country, killing people there, and now he is throwing a huge number of Russian citizens into the meat grinder that is this war, people who are supposed to just live normally and take care of their families.” Navalny did not expand on the fact that it was Russian people who committed the summary killings, rape and torture on the Ukrainian civilian population. He also did not discuss the Russian army’s complicity in the Bucha massacre in 2022. Instead, Navalny perceived Ukrainians and Russians as one people at the receiving end of Putin’s wrath. This allowed him to proclaim Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as an unjust war for Ukrainians as well as Russians. In his tweet of February 22nd 2022, Navalny said that Putin “will not allow Ukraine to develop, he will drag it into the swamp, but Russia will pay the same price”.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>The problem of equating Russian and Ukrainian victimhood is that it erases the imperialist nature of Russia’s domination in the occupied regions. Whilst it is true that the Russian people’s freedom and right to free speech is suppressed, their very existence is not threatened. Imperialism, by proclaiming inherent superiority, aims to completely erase the subjugated nations by way of killing local populations, erasing culture and spreading terror – the policies exactly enacted by Russia currently in its invasion of Ukraine. Putin proclaimed that Ukraine is not a real country and that Ukrainians and Russians are the same people. In this way he denies Ukrainians the right to exist. Russian society does not fall victim to imperialism, but to authoritarianism. The difference matters greatly. Authoritarianism denies you freedom but imperialism denies you existence. Authoritarianism allows you to live in certain conditions but for imperialism, your very living is not permitted. By equating these victimhoods, Russian imperialism is effectively erased.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Navalny was a patriot of the empire. By failing to address Russian imperialism and continuing to claim equal victimhood to Ukraine, he promoted Russian imperialist discourse. It is somewhat peculiar that he focused on and advocated for ending poverty, alcoholism and corruption. This is because it is precisely the continued Russian imperial hysteria that contributes to the deepening of these internal problems by overshadowing them. It could be that Navalny wanted Russia to remain the largest colonial power and also to be a prosperous democratic nation but this is an oxymoron. In order for Russia to start considering a democratic path, it must challenge its current national identity for its imperialist undertones; start having conversations about the country’s imperial legacy; and give up its occupied colonies. A person to undertake this would be a patriot of Russia.</p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https://www.e-ir.info/2024/10/25/imperialism-in-contemporary-russian-liberalism-alexei-navalnys-rhetoric/\">The full dissertation titled Imperialism in Contemporary Russian Liberalism: Alexei Navalny’s Rhetoric can be found here</a></em></p>\n<p><strong>Gabriele Kaminskaite</strong> is a Masters graduate in International Relations from the University of Manchester and an early career researcher.

In his book, Navalny wrote about his youth; his activism; his fight against Russian dictatorship; his time in prison; and ultimately his patriotism for Russia. In the West, Navalny’s image remains that of a brave hero, committed to democratic values and the idea of a free Russia. What is, however, missing from this forming legacy of Navalny is his imperialist rhetoric, to which he remained loyal right up until his death.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Navalny’s imperialist tendencies firstly came to popular notice when Russia invaded Georgia in 2008. In his blog, Navalny compared Georgian people to rodents and called for the bombardment of Sakartvelo. His most famous foreign policy statement, however, was the “sandwich quote”. In 2014, he was asked in an interview if he would return Crimea, which was just illegally annexed by Russia. He replied asking if Crimea is a “sandwich or something that you can take and give back?” These brazen comments show that Navalny did not focus much on Russia’s imperial conquests. Indeed, Patalakh’s article on Navalny published in 2018 notes that Navalny paid only marginal attention to Russia’s foreign policy. Instead, he saw Russia’s domestic issues, such as corruption and poverty, as a priority. </p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><strong>A historic problem</strong></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>There is also a wider issue – postcolonial studies (the academic field dedicated to the study and understanding of the colonial past and present) barely exists in Russia. In fact, some major postcolonial thinkers, such as Edward Said or Gayatri Spivak, are considered to be radical left figures. As a result, they are frowned upon in Russia as they are in conflict with the country’s traditional conservative values. However, the real reason for this omission is different. Russia has not only failed to acknowledge its colonial crimes but continues to actively commit them. As opposed to the European colonial powers which accepted that colonial expansion was inhumane and began to acknowledge their historical wrongs, Russia continues to deny that it committed any imperial aggression. Whilst the Baltic states provide numerous evidence-based accounts that they were occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940, Russia claims no such occupation ever took place. Whilst Russian troops entered the territory of Ukraine on February 24th 2022 in a blatant act of war, Russia claims it was only defending the people of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Both of these areas were destabilized by an aggressive and unlawful Russian intervention in the first place. Therefore, postcolonial studies directly contradicts the Russian foreign policy of imperialism in its “near abroad”. As a matter of fact, on December 29th 2024, Putin approved Russia’s new “Strategy for Countering Extremism”. This has led to organizations that promote the idea of Russia’s possible decolonization as extremist.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>It is perhaps not surprising that such denial was also persistent in Navalny’s political rhetoric. In his <em>Washington Post</em> opinion article from 2022, he attributed imperialist tendencies to the Kremlin only. However, he failed to explain why the war continues to have popular support. On his Twitter (now X) post of April 14th 2022, Navalny said that opinion polls are inaccurate and especially so in authoritarian states. However, a good study from Kizilova and Norris from 2022 demonstrated that cultural and historical preconditions would have the greatest influence on Russian society’s opinions towards the invasion. Whilst opinions can be somewhat swayed by threats and force, the scales could not shift to nearly 80 per cent approval without any genuine support from the public. On February 20th 2023, on X, Navalny also answered the question if “all Russians are inherently imperialistic?” with a categorical no. He proceeded to compare Russia and Belarus, which in itself was bizarre considering Belarus was never an empire to begin with and, on the contrary, was at the receiving end of Russian imperialism herself. From Navalny’s somewhat peculiar statements related to Russian imperialism (as well as the lack of them), it is clear he did not pay much importance to the imperialist ideology behind Russia’s continued wars of aggression.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>This persistent denial makes Navalny complicit in Russian imperialist narratives. It is not possible to address the crimes of Russian imperialism if they are actively denied. Whilst Navalny spoke out against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and has even retracted his statements about Georgians and Crimea, he failed to address the persistent imperialist ideology that poisons Russian society. Navalny’s attribution of Russian imperialism to the Kremlin only creates a false narrative that the wars in Chechnya, Georgia, Syria and Ukraine were solely waged by Putin. However, Russia waged imperialist wars for centuries before Putin and his dictatorship rose to power. They are not the cause of Russian imperialism. Russia was the third-largest empire and the most durable of all time. While the European colonial societies started to acknowledge their colonial crimes, nothing of the sort has happened in Russia. Therefore, the imperialist consciousness continues to live in Russian society unchallenged. The denial of it allows Russian imperialism to continue, shifting all the blame onto the Kremlin and maintaining the Russian people’s imperial innocence.</p>\n<p><strong>A deadly blame game</strong></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Navalny also displays imperialist beliefs through the ideas of Russian victimhood. As Russia conquered further lands, the conquered nations in the west such as Ukraine, Belarus or the Baltic states were ruled primarily by assimilation. This is centred on the idea that the colonizer and the colonized are “one people”, with Russia being the dominant, inherently superior nation. This provided the ideology and the justification for Russia to conquer its neighbours. To further promote this mode of domination, a number of repressive Russification policies followed to that effect. These included the banning of any non-Russian languages and alphabets; deportation based on ethnic grounds; the importation of Russian nationals; and the erasure of national identity and culture. Over centuries of Russification and continuous “one nation” propaganda, this narrative began to entrench itself in Russian society. In conjunction with the persistent denial of their own imperialist sentiment mentioned earlier, Russians began to also equate their victimhood to the countries occupied by Russia. Russians would say that they were also the victims of serfdom, of the Russian civil war, of Stalin’s repressions, and today, of Putin’s authoritarian grip.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Navalny’s statements on Twitter also repeatedly highlight that the suffering of Ukrainians is on par with the suffering of the Russians. In his statement on mobilization issued on September 23rd 2023, he stated that “I oppose the fact hundreds of thousands of our people are being sent to kill other people, innocent people like them [Ukrainians].” Despite Russia invading Ukraine and committing horrifying war crimes against civilians, Navalny also continued to separate the Russian nation from the Russian government. In another statement issued on September 21st 2023, Navalny said that “Putin is tormenting the neighbouring country, killing people there, and now he is throwing a huge number of Russian citizens into the meat grinder that is this war, people who are supposed to just live normally and take care of their families.” Navalny did not expand on the fact that it was Russian people who committed the summary killings, rape and torture on the Ukrainian civilian population. He also did not discuss the Russian army’s complicity in the Bucha massacre in 2022. Instead, Navalny perceived Ukrainians and Russians as one people at the receiving end of Putin’s wrath. This allowed him to proclaim Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as an unjust war for Ukrainians as well as Russians. In his tweet of February 22nd 2022, Navalny said that Putin “will not allow Ukraine to develop, he will drag it into the swamp, but Russia will pay the same price”.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>The problem of equating Russian and Ukrainian victimhood is that it erases the imperialist nature of Russia’s domination in the occupied regions. Whilst it is true that the Russian people’s freedom and right to free speech is suppressed, their very existence is not threatened. Imperialism, by proclaiming inherent superiority, aims to completely erase the subjugated nations by way of killing local populations, erasing culture and spreading terror – the policies exactly enacted by Russia currently in its invasion of Ukraine. Putin proclaimed that Ukraine is not a real country and that Ukrainians and Russians are the same people. In this way he denies Ukrainians the right to exist. Russian society does not fall victim to imperialism, but to authoritarianism. The difference matters greatly. Authoritarianism denies you freedom but imperialism denies you existence. Authoritarianism allows you to live in certain conditions but for imperialism, your very living is not permitted. By equating these victimhoods, Russian imperialism is effectively erased.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Navalny was a patriot of the empire. By failing to address Russian imperialism and continuing to claim equal victimhood to Ukraine, he promoted Russian imperialist discourse. It is somewhat peculiar that he focused on and advocated for ending poverty, alcoholism and corruption. This is because it is precisely the continued Russian imperial hysteria that contributes to the deepening of these internal problems by overshadowing them. It could be that Navalny wanted Russia to remain the largest colonial power and also to be a prosperous democratic nation but this is an oxymoron. In order for Russia to start considering a democratic path, it must challenge its current national identity for its imperialist undertones; start having conversations about the country’s imperial legacy; and give up its occupied colonies. A person to undertake this would be a patriot of Russia.</p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https://www.e-ir.info/2024/10/25/imperialism-in-contemporary-russian-liberalism-alexei-navalnys-rhetoric/\">The full dissertation titled Imperialism in Contemporary Russian Liberalism: Alexei Navalny’s Rhetoric can be found here</a></em></p>\n<p><strong>Gabriele Kaminskaite</strong> is a Masters graduate in International Relations from the University of Manchester and an early career researcher.
