Det kommande presidentvalet är inte ett legitimt val

En av den ryska oppositionens kändaste figurer var i Helsingfors. 
Denna ryske oppositionsaktivist sade att den ryska oppositionen hoppas kunna ordna demonstrationer vid röstningsställena.
"Jag hoppas vi alla kan mötas vid valurnorna den 17 mars för att säga nej till Putin",
sade Michail Chodorkovskij, som höll ett tal under demonstrationen. Han tog i en demonstration mot Rysslands krig mot Ukraina och president Putins regim vid Medborgartorget. 
Det var den anti-putinistiska organisationen De ryskspråkiga finländarnas demokratiska samfund som ordnade demonstrationen.
Också aktivisten och en av oppositionspolitikerns Ksenia Sobtjaks kampanjchefer Anastasija Sjevtjenko deltog i demonstrationen. Sjevtjenko som lever i exil i Vilnius konstaterade i ett tal att Putin tagit livet av politiska opponenter och jagat ut oberoende media ur landet.
Putin är inte som det ryska folket! Ryssarna vill inte ha krig! sa' alla.

Traces of torture: Alexei's body found with bruises on head and chest

Dead Putin critic Alexei Navalny's body reportedly showed bruising on his head and chest, raising suspicions about the circumstances of his death.
Russian officials claim Alexei Navalny fell unconscious and died after a walk. 
Russian government denies torture, claims natural death.
But Alexei Navalny's body had bruise marks, claims paramedic
The unnamed source, identified as an experienced paramedic, said Navalny’s head and chest were bruised when his body arrived at the mortuary, as reported by the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta Europe.
The paramedic mentions weird police presence at hospital
The body of Alexei Navalny, a prominent critic of Kremel who died in a Russian prison, was reported to have bruising on his head and chest, according to a Russian newspaper citing a paramedic professional.
In fact some of this morning’s Russian newspapers make no mention of Alexei Navalny’s death in prison. 
Some of them report but in most cases briefly, sure. Papers give more prominence to a story just about anywhere than to the death of the Kremlin’s most vocal critic.

The death of Alexei Navalny

According to the renew europe. the group in the European Parliament condemns the killing of Alexei Navalny, Kremlin’s most vocal political opponent, in a state prison in the Arctic, one month ahead of Russia’s presidential elections.
His commitment cost him his life, but his courage and his fight against Putin's regime and its cronies will always be remembered by his people. His fight goes on!
The President of Renew Europe Group, Valérie Hayer, said:
"With Navalny’s passing, Putin has just added another murder to his long list of repressed political opponents, together with the hundreds of thousands of deaths caused by the war of aggression he started against Ukraine."
Then.
"I strongly condemn the Kremlin regime, which cruelly sent Alexei Navalny to his death. With Navalny's murder, the world has lost a freedom fighter, a man who championed the cause of a free Russia."
Poisoned and then taken prisoner by a government adept at the politics of fear, Alexeï Navalny never ceased to call on his compatriots not to allow themselves to be intimidated.
We all grieve.

Our world is expanding.

An illusion

The smaller planet, TOI-715c, could be only slightly larger than Earth, and also might dwell just inside the "conservative" habitable zone.
Using data from Nasa’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellit's astronomers have discovered and characterized a habitable zone planet orbiting the nearby red dwarf star TOI-715 with a period of 19.3 days. 
They’ve also demonstrated that there is possibly a second, smaller exoplanet with a period of 25.6 days, placing it just inside the outer edge of TOI-715’s habitable zone. This system represents the first Tess discovery to fall within this most conservative and widely applicable habitable zone.
TOI-715 hosts the super-Earth exoplanet TOI-715b and the smaller terrestrial exoplanet candidate TOI-715c.
I remember when the red dwarf star was found. 
I like this progress.
