Alexei Navalny: Sadistic/Murderous Xenophobe

I recognize the type, from distantly recollected reading in 19th century Russian literature--There were bizarre patriotisms that sprang up under the Czars, typically containing cores of fervent idolatry of the centralized Powers of the State, with layers almost as deep of hysterical abomination of non-Russian religions and social usages. You get glimpses of it in Dostoevsky. Parlous stuff to make a Western Hero/Saint of. And any words would fail to do justice to Navalny's spectacular (this close to scurrilous) Widow, the ever-bereft "Yolanda" as President Biden calls her. (Who makes these things up?)
