Navalny ‘was on the verge of being RELEASED by Russia in a deal brokered by Roman Abramovich…but Putin had him killed at the last minute’
ALEXEI Navalny was about to be released in a prisoner swap but Vladimir Putin blocked it at the last minute and had his nemesis killed, it was claimed today.

Pevchikh claimed that the West was ready to hand over the FSB killer Vadim Krasikovseen by Putin as a patriot, now in a Germany prison after being convicted of murder.
But Putin – behaving like a “crazy mafioso” – decided he couldn’t handle seeing his arch-enemy Navalny released even though he was living in exile.
In a dramatic new twist on the Navalny story, LondonPevchikh said: “Navalny would be free in the coming days as we had made a decision on his exchange.
“In early February, Putin was offered to kill FSB assassin Vadim Krasikov, who is serving a prison sentence for murder in Berlinfor two American citizens – and Alexei Navalny.
“I received confirmation on the evening of February 15 that the negotiations were in the final phase. On February 16, Alexei was murdered.”
She added: “Roman Abramovich was the one who made the proposal to trade Navalny to Putin… as an informal negotiator communicating with US and European officials, and at the same time representing Putin, an unofficial channel of communication with the Kremlin.”
Pevchikh claims that “Putin was clearly told that the only way to get Krasikov was to exchange him for Navalny.”
But, she continues, it was his sheer hatred of Navalny that caused the deal to fall through.
She claims that Putin could not tolerate Navalny being free, and because he realized that the West was willing to trade Krasikov, he lost the bargaining chip.
Pevchikh said: “It is absolutely illogical, absolutely irrational, it is the behavior of a crazy mafioso.
“The point is that Putin has gone crazy with hatred for Navalny. Putin hated him so much.”
Navalny served for 19 years in the hellish Arctic prison Polar Wolf on trumped-up charges designed to suppress him.
Instead of freeing him, he had him killed, she claims.
Pevchikh said: “He is acting to his own detriment and against his own rational interests.
“After all, Putin is sure that Alexei Navalny could have defeated him, that Alexei Navalny is the future, and he, Putin, is the past.”
She added: “I asked Roman Abramovich, through mutual acquaintances, how, when and under what circumstances he did this.[and] what Putin said [regarding an agreement to swap Navalny].
“Unfortunately, Abramovich did not answer these questions, but he also did not deny anything.”
Pevchikh’s allegations join a long list of theories about Navalny’s cause of death.
On the two-year anniversary of the war against Ukrainethe Ukrainian top spy chief Lieutenant General Budanov claimed that Navalny’s cause of death was actually natural causes.
He said: ‘I may disappoint you, but what we know is that he really died of a blood clot.
“And this is more or less confirmed.
“This was not taken from the internet, but unfortunately a natural product [death].”
Meanwhile, grieving widow Yulia Navalnaya has accused Vladimir Putin of “torturing him to death”.
She demanded: ‘Give us my husband’s body.
“You tortured him alive, and now you continue to torture him to death. You mock the remains of the dead.
“No true Christian could ever do what Putin is doing to Alexei’s body.”
Navalny’s mother Lyudmila, 69, had originally been as well blocked from seeing her son’s remains – with reports that he was left battered and bruised.
It had only been four days, six painful days after her son’s death Lyudmila was even shown her son’s body.
The grieving mother claimed that Russian officials were trying to blackmail herand threatened to do “something” to the corpse.
The cruel tyrant asked Navalny’s mother to choose between two alternatives: agreeing to a secret funeral in an undisclosed location or have her son’s body buried forever the Polar Wolf Prison.
“They want this to happen in secret, without goodbye. They want to take me to the edge of a cemetery, to a new grave and say: here lies your son. I do not agree with this,” she said in a speech . YouTube video.
Only after internal pressure from Navalny’s family and the Russian Orthodox Church on Putin was the body released.
