Timeline of the cover up of Alexei Navalny's murder
The body has bruises & hematomas. The Kremlin will claim they came from "natural causes."
Navalny murder cover up timeline on Feb 16, 2024:
14:17 - official time of Navalny's death according to the prison system (Baza/AP).
14:19 - just two minutes later the Federal Penitentiary Service announces Navalny's death "after a walk" on its website.
14:20 - RIA Novosti and ITAR-TASS state propaganda agencies release the news of Navalny taking a walk and suddenly dying.
14:23 - Russia's 112 Tg channel claims cause of death is a blood clot.
14:30 - Dmitry Peskov comments on Navalny's death, just 13 minutes after his official time of death.
05:26 (Feb 17) - Vladimir Osechkin publishes a leak from his source that on Feb 16 evening, an "expert was given a verbal instruction to describe bruises and hematomas on Navalny's body as cadaveric stains." (to advance the narrative of a natural cause, not murder)
01:03 (Feb 18) - Novaya Gazetta posts a claim that "Bruises from seizures were found on Navalny’s body." As a so-called "independent" and "anti-Putin" publication, appears to lay the groundwork for the Kremlin cover up that bruises and hematomas were of natural origin, not murder: "Such injuries, as those who saw them described, appear from seizures. The person convulses, they try to restrain him, and bruises appear. They also said that he also had a bruise on his chest. But one that appears in connection with indirect cardiac massage. That is, they still tried to resuscitate him, and he died, most likely, from cardiac arrest. But why the heart stopped, no one is saying anything yet."
