What's your opinion on this guy?
He fights against corruption and wants to make Russia
democratic, but he is still something of a tribalist since he
refers to Georgians as "gryzuny" (rodents).

Definitely not on our side:

> Early in 2012, Navalny stated on Ukrainian TV, "Russian
foreign policy should be maximally directed at integration with
Ukraine and Belarus… In fact, we are one nation. We should
enhance integration."[244]
> ...
> "Putin likes to speak about the 'Russian world' but he is
actually making it smaller. In Belarus, they sing anti-Putin
songs at football stadiums; in Ukraine they simply hate us. In
Ukraine now, there are no politicians who do not have extreme
anti-Russian positions. Being anti-Russian is the key to success
now in Ukraine, and that is our fault".[247]
> ...
> In October 2014, Navalny said in an interview that despite
Crimea being illegally "seized", "the reality is that Crimea is
now part of Russia". When asked if he would return Crimea to
Ukraine if he became president, he said "Is Crimea some sort of
sausage sandwich to be passed back and forth? I don't think so".

He pursues the same essentially Duginist geopolitical goals, but
merely disagrees with Putin's methods. Our best approach would
be to use him as a pawn to weaken Russia via infighting if
possible. Certainly he must not be regarded as any kind of
sincere ally. We should instead continue the search for
authentic anti-Duginist Russians for the latter purpose.
