I recently watched videos of Bernie Sanders, who americans call left-wing, and maybe compared to other american politicians he is, but compared to russian opposition he is very like Boris Nemtsov and Alexey Navalny. First is literal founder of Union of Right Forces, second is considered to be center-right.

so that’s how US corporate media portrayed him.

To this day I don't read US media ouside of articles linked in some discussion about them. And year ago I didn't do even that.

Video: Alexei Navalny Compares Muslims to Cockroaches

Man, this title is SO misleading. Well, most of Kadyrov's militants (and Ramzan Kadyrov) do call themselves muslims, but the title is manipulative. It's like saying Saders/Biden/InsertYourPolitician hates atheists/muslims/christians because that politician said something about someone with personal army, which just so happens to consist of atheists/muslism/christians. Nobody says that everyone who say "Putin is bunker rat" "compare christians to rats".

For context Kadyrov has multiple pocket armies: 1, 2(no translation), 3(no translation). Also english wiki for some reason confuses military regiment Ahmat and special forces Ahmat.
