> It amazes me that the Russian people seemingly have such low regard for their own system

But Navalny isn't "their own system". Vast majority of russians heard of him but he has done nothing useful. All his activity is just self-promoting. By the way, in the past there was a figure with similar views: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduard_Limonov



Had there been such a high profile court case in most western democracies there would have been outrage.


Like in case of Snowden and Assange, right?


Nowhere near the same.
