OPINION: Who poisoned Alexei Navalny?

Or a hitman hired by one of the many people who simply hate Navalny. After all we saw something similar with the murder of the Swedish prime minister, Olof Palme, in 1986, when an unknown individual, acting on his own impulses, shot Palme dead in the street as he emerged from a cinema. There were many people in Sweden, including some in the police, who hated Palme for his left wing views, his decision during the Vietnam war to give refuge to deserters from the US army, his refusal to enter Nato, his pro Fidel Castro stand and his economic policies whereby the better off were taxed more and more to provide services for the poorer. The police, acting unconscionably slowly, didn’t throw up road blocks in the city’s main exit roads until well after the murder took place. It seems we will never know if that was connivance or inefficiency, despite multiple investigations.
