Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny

How has this guy not drinking some deadly tea or fallen four stories while loading a hot tub through his bathroom window yet?

I know Putin has had this guy periodically arrested and barred from running from office, but he's pushing some major buttons against Putin and his henchmen (and by association, Trump). How he's still alive or not rotting away in a prison in Siberia is a bit surprising.

Has he become too prominent a figure that any suspicious act on his life would be just too plain obvious for plausible deniability purposes?

Is Putin's strategy simply going to be try to marginalize this guy and make him out to be a conspiracy quack? Because the problem is he's already getting some serious traction from legitimate media outside of Russia.

I hope the guy is truly legit and that he stay safe.
