I think the article summarizes well the real state of Russian opposition (political insignificance and fragmentation), but some of the statements attributed to the opposition figures in the last chapter are to be taken with a grain of salt.

I think when navalny team cheered death of rdk leader is most illustrative of what russian so-called opposition is. Like bitch cmon, guy fighting putin with weapons in his hands right on the battlefield, while you wasting millions of european taxpayer grant money on beaches of Mediterranean and Miami

Russian opposition is opposing Putin’s corruption, not their foreign policy end goals.

It takes a special kind of uninformed to think that russian opposition is much better than Putin for us.

russia needs to be dismantled as a state. It’s the only way.

this feels like a strawman argument – I haven’t seen anyone in western media treat russian opposition figures abroad like that for quite a few (maybe 10+) years
the view in western media is rather that russian opposition doesn’t really exist and was crushed years ago
