Navalny died amid Russia-West talks on prisoner swap
- Putin and Abramovich met 4 hours before Navalny died to discuss a prisoner swap involving Navalny.
- Russia offered to release Navalny, a WSJ reporter, and a former US marine in exchange for a man serving life for a murder in Berlin.
- An additional Russian hacker jailed in the US may have also been considered for exchange.
- Navalny's allies claim he was killed at the final stage of Russia's prisoner swap talks with the West.
- One source believes Putin agreed to the swap, but ordered Navalny's murder after learning the West would trade the convicted Berlin murderer.
