The new criminal indictment against @navalny may well be the most shameless Kremlin forgery yet. The accusation is that he embezzled hundreds of million of Rubles from citizen who donated to his anti-corruption fund. However, now it turns out that only 4 people filed complaints.
But it's not the number, it's WHO filed complaints. An unemployed plumber apparently donated 1,020,000 rubles - not 1 m, but 1.02 m, mind you. That's three years' worth of plumber salary, and just 20 k over the required minimum for the highest degree of embezzlement charges. 
(apparently, he decided to donate this very specific amount after watching the video on @bellingcat, @the_ins, @derspiegel and @CNN's investigation into @navalny's poisoning - a Freudian trace of breadcrumbs leading to the trigger for this new trumped-up case)
But that's not all... The poor plumber donated the 1.02 m Ruble on 28 December 2020... but he immediately realized he had been cheated..early enough for Russian prosecution to open a criminal case the very next day.
This new criminal indictment yells: "we don't need to make anything plausible anymore...because you just don't matter".
Two of the other three donors have pending criminal fraud/tax cases against them - the oldest targets for "prosecution witnesses" in the book. Read the full investigation here (in Russian) navalny.com/p/6597/
