The western press always talked about this guy as if he was the primary opposition to Putin. It would be like saying RFK Jr. is the primary opposition to Biden. He never had much going for him in terms of popularity.
I’ve also never once seen westerners give any kind of approval to the Russian communist party, even though they’re the largest opposition party. I know they’re revisionists or whatever, but it’s a good indication that a westerner has limits on how anti-Putin they are.
