"And once they accused Nicholas II": a view from the West at Navalny's film and Putin's comments
The foreign press is actively discussing the answers of the Russian president to questions from students about the latest events in the country.
Recall that the day before, on Student's Day, Vladimir Putin answered questions, among which there were questions about what the head of state has to do with the "palace" near Gelendzhik, to which Navalny (or, rather, the one who stands behind him) dedicated the whole movie. According to the President of Russia, the "object" in question in this film does not belong and has never belonged either to him or to his family members.

Putin recalled that talk about this "palace near Gelendzhik" has been going on for at least ten years.

Polish observer Marek Budzisch, meanwhile, believes that Navalny "was able to expose Putin." According to him, “something similar to the February revolution” happened in Russia (talking about the 1917 revolution). Apparently, in Poland they continue to dream of a big coup on Russian soil.
In the British press, as always, there is unanimity in relation to the Russian Federation. The authors call for the imposition of sanctions against the president, punishing Navalny's arrest.
The Italian edition IFQ notes that in Navalny's film it is worth paying attention to the statement about "Putin's construction of his palace on the Black Sea coast within 15 years." Italian readers note that Putin “built a bridge to Crimea in 3 years”, stadiums for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and facilities for the Sochi Olympics in 5-7 years.
