Why is there censorship over the fact that Navalny had made videos where he compared Muslim immigrants in North Caucasus as “cockroaches” and also dresses up as a dentist and compares immigrants with cavities that need to be removed? It's not like he ever denounced those sick videos and later still refused to denounce them when asked about it. It's disappointing to see the important finer details be censored, and seems more political and not impartial to hide such vital historical info in Wikipedia. This article shouldn't become a biased PR article that hides those actions in the past. Is it some white privilege where one can call immigrants as cavities and cockroaches and yet not have this mentioned at all on his page?
a 2007 video in which Navalny rails against “cockroaches” while images of apparently Muslim men were flashed on screen. He then goes on to “shoot” an actor playing an attacker who seemed to be wearing traditional Muslim clothing. Jung said: “Let’s be very clear, he advocated shooting dead Muslims.” In another video, Navalny dressed as a dentist, appearing to compare immigrants to rotten teeth.
[1] 49.186.84.166 ( talk) 09:24, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
In 2007, he released several anti-immigration videos,[444][445][446][447] including one where he advocated the deportation of migrants.[448] According to Leonid Volkov, Navalny later regretted making the 2007 video.[449] In 2013, after ethnic riots in a Moscow district took place, which were sparked by a murder committed by a migrant, Navalny sympathised with the anti-immigration movement and commented that ethnic tensions and crimes are inevitable because of failing immigration policies by the state.[450][451] However, he later said that "The basis of my approach is that you have to communicate with nationalists and educate them... I think it's very important to explain to them that the problem of illegal immigration is not solved by beating up migrants but by other, democratic means".[452] In a 2017 interview, Navalny declared support for regulated immigration from Central Asia, but did not see it as valuable.[453] In a 2020 interview, he reiterated support for regulated immigration.[454] In 2021, Alexander Verkhovskiy said that Navalny's statements on immigration were 'a long time ago' and that he was a 'different man'.[203]
Critics have pointed to his nationalist views and statements against immigrants made early in his political career, for which he was expelled from Yabloko. For years he attended and spoke at an annual far-right nationalist rally, and he later steadfastly refused to denounce a video in which he compared people from Russia’s mostly Muslim North Caucasus with “cockroaches” and mimicked shooting one with a pistol.[2]
Navalny started to move gradually to the right, and in 2007 he was expelled from Yabloko after clashing with Yavlinsky over Navalny’s increasingly nationalist and anti-immigrant views.[3]
He is later expelled from Yabloko after attending an ultranationalist, anti-immigration protest. Navalny is known to have anti-immigrant views.[4]
In 2007, he was ejected from the liberal Yabloko party for attending the Russian March, an annual demonstration of far-right and ultranationalist groups. Briefly establishing his own party, Narod (“people”), Navalny released YouTube videos in which he likened Islamic militants to cockroaches, called for the deportation of immigrant workers, and vowed to defend the rights of ethnic Russians in Russia. While calls for greater immigration controls remained part of his platform, Navalny’s use of more extreme rhetoric seems to have peaked in the late 2000s. More charitable interpretations have suggested that as liberal parties struggled to gain ground, Navalny looked to nationalism as a mobilizing force. As later noted by Al Jazeera, his remarks came as nationalist sentiment was surging in Russia—and so too were hate crimes, with more than 100 people killed in racially motivated attacks in 2008. His overtures toward nationalism haunted him for the remainder of his career—causing Amnesty International to revoke his “prisoner of conscience” status in 2021. At the same time, Navalny did little to disavow his past remarks. “My idea is that you have to communicate with nationalists and educate them,” he told the Polish journalist Adam Michnik in 2015.[5]
The replies to the original criticism of Navalny are white-washing. It is obviously nonsense to exclude hateful comments based on their age when profiling a major political figure. More importantly its is dishonest. Amnesty International , in 2021, removed him from its list of POCs based on the old comments. Is 2021 too old? Is Amnesty ignorable? It is also highly disingenuous to say that his highly controversial comments should be tucked away under a paragraph headed "immigration". This doesn't look like a 'mistake', it looks like careful writing PR writing. Other figures similar to Navalny would have an entire section labelled "Controversies". The problem with this article isn't about Navalny, it's about the credibility of Wikipedia. It looks like people favourable to Navalny who are professionals at political PR are writing the article. That totally undermines the credibility of Wikipedia. Furthermore comments here in Talk such as "some of them give zero weight and most of them give very little weight" are highly opinionated. Obviously its easy, in the context of the Ukraine conflict, to find dozens of major, right-wing news outlets that support Navalnay unconditionally. That is not evidence. Using selected propaganda outlets to justify propaganda is not what wikipedia is supposed to be about. People organising the PR on this page should be banned from wikipedia,.

в 2007 году его исключили из партии за национализм
В связи с участием в создании движения "Народ" уже в июле 2007 года Навальный был вынужден подать в отставку с поста заместителя главы московского "Яблока" [121]. Тогда же начал обсуждаться вопрос о том, что Навальный должен был покинуть партию [99], [121]. В декабре 2007 года на заседании бюро партии Навальный потребовал "немедленной отставки председателя партии и всех его заместителей, переизбрания не менее 70 процентов бюро" и был исключен из "Яблока" с формулировкой "за нанесение политического ущерба партии, в частности, за националистическую деятельность" [93], [92], [121], [83].
Who cares what he thought about immigration 20 years ago?
I am absolutely not interested in knowing what he thought 20 years ago on the subject
the suspicion of ethno-nationalism continues to shadow Navalny.
I therefore assume that a typical reader also would not be interested in.
"Everything in our way should be carefully but decisively removed through deportation," Navalny said in the video dressed as a dentist, comparing immigrants to dental cavities.

What was the outcome of this long discussion? I stumbled onto this when reading the article to see how we covered Navalny's attitude to Muslims and was surprised to see the word "Muslim" only appears once in the article ("... stoked anger among Russia's predominantly Sunni Muslim community"). According to our version of events, based on a NYT article, the cockroach video was about "militants from the Caucasus". An abundance of sources describe the targets of the video as Muslim. [13] [14] [15] [16] Regarding suggested changes, what about changing the description of the target of the cockroach video to include the word "Muslim". A more ambitious proposal is to fill in some of the gaps in our coverage of his views on immigration (currently "he released several anti-immigration videos", "Navalny sympathised with the anti-immigration movement", "the problem of illegal immigration is not solved ...", "Since 2016, Navalny deemphasized his past statements on immigration"). Here are a few quotes from reliable sources that may be useful:
Burrobert ( talk) 13:15, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
In a 2007 pro-gun rights video, Navalny presents himself as a “certified nationalist” who wants to exterminate “flies and cockroaches” – while bearded Muslim men appear in cutaways. He whips out a gun and shoots an actor wearing a keffiyeh who tried to “attack” him.The video also contains a photo (0:26) of a group of people that would be identified as Chechen militants by most people in 2007 Russia. This probably led to many sources calling the attacker in the video a Muslim/Caucasian militant [23]. Of course, Caucasian militants are not immigrants. I'm open to rephrasing this passage to make it more about the video itself and less about the interpretations, provided that its weight in the article stays the same.

Under Alexei Navalny's "Political positions" under "Ukraine", the statement about his view on the East Slavic States should be re-added either directly or rephrased to convey the same message that he may sometimes support Ukraine and sometimes show extreme nationalist sentiments:
"In early 2012, Navalny stated on Ukrainian TV, "Russian foreign policy should be maximally directed at integration with Ukraine and Belarus… In fact, we are one nation. We should enhance integration". During the same broadcast Navalny said "No one wants to make an attempt to limit Ukraine's sovereignty"

For the links, just go to the previous versions from this winter or maybe even spring. Overall, it seems quite dishonest to omit these previously stated quotes from Wikipedia to paint Navalny as anything other than quite ultranationalistic. MaximillionMax ( talk) 20:49, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
