Navalny's death report: An explosive theory is said to be circulating on the Munich Siko. Did he want to release Alexei Navalny in a prisoner exchange? Vladimir Putin is apparently said to have had plans for the apparently deceased Kremlin critic.
According to this, Russia would have released Navalny and the imprisoned US journalist Evan Gershkovich from the Wall Street Journal if it had gotten Vadim Krassikov - the so-called Tiergarten murderer - back from Germany.
