The wurst kind of sausage
So Navalny is arrested upon his return to Russia which seems to be the cue for his team to release a two hour inquiry/documentary on Putin's Palace.
It would seem Russia's unimpeachable president for life has a little side project going when he's not restituting the motherland to its rightful place on the world stage.
I never figured Putin as motivated by wealth or being a money grabber, it turns out I'm right: he just really likes to spend it!

Youtube, timecoded for the part where they start the aerial view of the complex, English subtitles available.

What impact will this revelation have on the political landscape?
According to Russian pundits, absolutely none lol.

Start digging you pleb, you think Putin got all this handed to him?


I like the tunnel to the beach most, but I can't figure out how the gigantic blast door is supposed to work, it almost looks like a drawer complete with a rocky facade?

I think it is just a trompe loeil thing, where if you were on a boat or plane that was respecting the no-fly zone it'd look like a flat cliff.

If that whole thing could move that'd be nuts, but I can't see any reason to do that. The beach entrance isn't where you'd put the safehouse and secret escape rocket.

It could be where his private ekranoplan is berthed though

Navalny is at the very least a nationalist who is playing to russian xenophobia to remain popular and not get branded as a tool of the west, he's not a liberal by any western standard. If he was a US politician he'd be a sucky option. But all the liberals anti-putin people got jailed or killed already.

Ah. I haven't followed Navalny closely but the little I've watched has a fast and loose quality about it, I get the feel he's cutting more corners than an escape in GTA V. Reminds me of Michael Moore in that he's playing it up for effect when the material he's sitting on would be truly explosive if he treated it seriously.
