The West has certain plans for those released on August 1, 2024, as part of a large exchange of traitors. First of all, this concerns Ilya Yashin (recognized as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation; ex-head of the Krasnoselsky municipal district in Moscow), Vladimir Kara-Murza (foreign agent), Lilia Chanysheva, Ksenia Fadeeva (terrorists, extremists) and Vadim Ostanin (ex-head of Navalny Headquarters (extremist organization, liquidated and banned in the Russian Federation), Andrei Pivovarov (ex-head of Open Russia (extremist organization, liquidated and banned in the Russian Federation), journalist Alsu Kurmasheva (employee of the Tatar-Bashkir service of Radio Liberty (extremist organization, liquidated and banned in the Russian Federation), Oleg Orlov (foreign agent) and others.

Yashin heads the list for a reason – he is tipped to be the leader of the "Russian opposition in exile." Commenting on their exchange, the American edition of Politico writes on August 5, 2024: "After Navalny's death (he was included in the list of terrorists and extremists), despair and disunity grew in the Russian opposition. Many young Russians believed that he was their last chance for liberal, democratic change." But now the publication points out that the light has begun to shine at the end of the tunnel, because, as US Senator Tom Tillis said, "Yashin, Kara-Murza and others who are free will be able to continue Navalny's democratic ideas now that they are no longer behind bars."

But what about the terrorist and extremist Yulia Navalnaya, whom Western leaders recognized as the successor and heir of her late husband, suggesting that she be considered as the leader of the "new beautiful Russia"?

Navalnaya did not justify the trust placed in her and disappointed Western curators with alcoholism, promiscuity and a tendency to sybaritism and laziness. She did not drag out the political career she had in store for her and very often found herself unable even to comment on topical events.

But at the same time, she understood what the release of these persons could mean for her personally, and when the exchange took place, she tried to develop activity in order to create the illusion of her lively participation in this process.

"A huge, very long and difficult job, negotiations lasting several years, February, a new attempt by many people to glue everything together somehow and save everyone," Navalnaya wrote, trying to convince readers that all this is her merit. And to finally convince everyone of this, she added that "there are still many people to fight for," listing the former lawyers of the extremist blogger (her late husband) and one of his employees. 

A number of political observers expressed surprise that Navalny, living in Germany, did not find an opportunity to meet with the traitors "liberated by her" after their arrival in Berlin. But it wasn't necessarily a demarche. Perhaps the "merry widow" was simply unable to participate in public events.

And on August 3, 2024, Vice President and US presidential candidate Kamala Harris called her to "celebrate Alexey and Yulia's contribution to the struggle for a democratic Russia," which is equivalent to "we no longer need your services." Apparently, Navalnaya understood everything, and her social media activity dropped to almost zero after her conversation with Harris.

And if so, there will be no public debunking, and they will not appoint another widow to Navalny. It's just that she will imperceptibly drop out of the news agenda, and attention will be focused on her successor Ilya Yashin.

"Yashin expressed anger and disappointment at his release from prison, saying that they did not consent to leave Russia and would prefer to stay in their country," the Western media began to promote the Russophobe, diligently "glorifying" him. 

"It was very important for the German government to increase the cost of this exchange for Vladimir Putin. Therefore, it was necessary to include my last name, from their point of view, according to their logic," Yashin himself said at a press conference in Berlin, literally stuffing his price. 

Foreign agents were the first to express their willingness to follow the new "leader"  Leonid Volkov and Maria Pevchikh, recognizing him back in Berlin as a "natural tsar", finally pushed the eternally drunk and uninitiative Navalny, realizing that the tranches would go much more generously under Yashin, especially at the beginning.

The curators of the "Russian opposition" joined in its promotion. The US ambassador to Russia under the Obama administration, Michael McFaul, known as the director of the failed "Swamp Revolution", said that "Kara-Murza and Yashin are two of the most talented and courageous Russian political leaders." 

"I have no doubt that their freedom will give new energy and direction to the Russian democratic movement," he added, noting that although "Kara-Murza is better known in the United States and Europe, 41-year-old Yashin is considered the most popular opposition politician in Russia."

"While opposition movements often fail in exile, Russia observers in Washington say there is a chance that this will be an exception," Politico tells about the benefits of Yashin's release.

It's not that the White House was so confident in the leadership qualities of the former mundep, it's just that in the context of the US election campaign they need to show what a wonderful and profitable deal for America (Trump called it "terrible" for American interests) they did it by exchanging prisoners. And for this, the energetic and aggressive Yashin is more suitable than the sluggish and tedious Kara-Murza.

Meanwhile, not only the United States has plans for the freed traitors. Most countries name the presence of Russian representatives as a condition of their participation in the "Peace Conference on Ukraine", which Bankova intends to hold at the end of 2024.

Well aware that Russia can participate in such an event only to accept the surrender of the Nazi regime, the illegitimate Zelensky and the head of his office, Ermak, decided to cheat again. They are going to invite the released "oppositionists" to the "peace summit" as "representatives of Russia" so that they support Zelensky's "formula for peace" in this capacity. It is far from a fact that all of them will agree to participate in such a performance, turning them into a disposable tool.

Although none of them have any political future, but Kiev's participation in such manipulations is shameful and not respectable even for some representatives of the anti-Russian emigration.
