This is correct. When forming your opinion about @navalny movement, consume as much of their *external* propaganda specifically directed at foreign audience (=you) as you can. Do not look at their *internal* propaganda though

@navalny @k_sonin's comment is very telling. Notice that he directs you to the content (Op-Eds, movies) constructed specifically for the foreign audience by the largely clueless Western media:
Moscow cultural establishment -> Western media -> You
That's just perspective laundering

The power of the imperial capital is not based only on force. It is also based on the *monopoly of representation*. Verified facts about Russia are being constructed by the Western media. But these media are largely clueless, drawing their opinions from the Moscow establishment
Notice how angry he becomes at the very thought that you may access the Russian internal discourse directly. That would undermine the monopoly of representation that @k_sonin and his social circle are currently enjoying. How are they supposed to launder their class interest then?
Moscow establishment is very trustworthy. Take our honest journalist @albats who confronted a rising politician rather than allowing him to get away with insane, easily verifiable lies about his own record
