If you met him any day of the week and didn't know his name you'd be screaming "MAGA Russian Genocidal Fascist!" at him.
The Russian government considered him a joke. The Russian opposition considered him a joke (they even expelled him from the main opposition party; he had to start his own that grew to a whopping 5,000 members). But in the west, Nutty Navalny was a Bodhisattva.

Anybody who expects Navalny to be an ideal Western liberal Democrat has been mistaken," she tells Euronews.
His ultra-nationalist sentiment was prominent in a video dating back some 17 years filled with xenophobic comments.
"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.
Amnesty International stripped the opposition leader of the "prisoner of conscience" status based on this clip.
"The Georgian public felt betrayed by Navalny after the 2008 Russo-Georgian war," says Kornely Kakachia, Political Science Professor at Tbilisi State University.
"Everyone expected Navalny to be anti-Putin and anti-imperialist, but he supported the invasion."

Navalny led a group that had, at most, 5,000 members. He was never an "opposition leader." He was an anti-Putin blogger. The West merely promoted him because the main anti-Putin Russian opposition party -- the CPRF-- is the continuation of the Communist Party of 1917-1991 which is both anti-Putin and anti-NATO. And the second largest party, SRZP, is also both anti-Putin and anti-NATO.
They, together, hold more than 100 seats in the State Duma and their deputies are daily denouncing Putin (without winding up in Siberian prisons). But you never hear about them because they're not the kind of opposition the West wants to acknowledge. The West wants an opposition leader who is not only anti-Putin but also pro-Raython/pro-Boeing. So they promote a low-level crook - convicted of money laundering and embezzlement - who is completely obscure and unknown in Russia itself.
