The one, true, actual “Russia Hoax”. An actual Russian disinformation campaign which repubs are, even now, still using to scandal hunt. It’s even more of a hoax than crowdstrike in Ukraine.

Navalny was nearly poisoned to death and has spent the entire time since his recovery as a Russian political prisoner, including in the arctic. I’m not even sure what a reasonable person might mean by “natural causes” when a relatively young man with no other known medical issues drops dead of “natural causes” after all that abuse.

Yeah, sure, “natural causes” brought on by a near miss assassination attempt followed by years of confinement in Russian prisons. That’s some seriously fucked up Putin apologizing right there, but I guess it helps reveal why repubs are so eager to cede Ukraine to him.
