The Russian Duma chairman said, “They, who have made a huge number of failed decisions and are clinging on to their jobs, benefit from his death.
“Washington and Brussels are to blame for Navalny’s death.”

“The cause will be determined by forensic experts and the investigation.
“But when, without waiting for results, accusations and statements from politicians and heads of unfriendly states sound absolutely the same, you first need to answer the question: who benefits from Navalny’s death today?”
Volodin continued with his bluster and accused the West of wanting “to destroy Russia” as they will benefit along with those “who are not supported by their own population and have no chance of winning elections.
He added, “At the same time want to retain power by any means.”
