There is a great amount of cynicism in this Kremlin narrative of “Navalny is a pawn of the West”, considering what he went through.
With all this “vacation in Switzerland” allusions Kiselyov frames his speech about opposition leader as so to make the audience forget that Navalny suffered greatly and almost died.
This is a truly rotten system that not only gets rid of any challengers, but slanders them actively regardless whether they manage to survive or not.
