I guess you do not see sarcasm so easily, but believe me, this is.
What is true however is, that the whole transport and medical aid would not have happened without Putin's approval, for whatever reason he did that..
So you say Navalny is no challenge for Putin. Who would be a legal and approved (by Putin??) candidate for the next russian president? If we exclude Medwedew.

At the time I added the term (allegedly). Now it seems that there was some sort of phosphoorganic poison, but sadly those are all too common - from insecticides to WW2 to Cold War era to present day neurotoxins.
In terms of candidates this is hard to say, realistically we would know only very close to the elections, most likely it would be a person we would not expect.
Navalny apparently began working on shifting his immage to be more electable, but that probably wouldn't help him. Still, we would probably see some one build a campaign on Navalny's martydom narrative.
