The reason why #Navalny was so heavily publicized in the West as Russia's savior was because he was seen by the West as a useful tool.

You know who was regarded as a "useful tool" 20 years back? Particularly for his stance on the "war on terror" and "Iran"? You'd never guess.
Two war criminals together, Georg W. Bush and Vladimir Putin, back when they had their short lived honeymoon.
PRESIDENT BUSH: I will answer the question. I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country. And I appreciated so very much the frank dialogue.

There was no kind of diplomatic chit-chat, trying to throw each other off balance. There was a straightforward dialogue. And that's the beginning of a very constructive relationship. I wouldn't have invited him to my ranch if I didn't trust him. (Laughter.)

Secondly, I appreciate the opportunity to be able to talk about a new relationship, and we will continue these dialogues. The basis for my discussion began with this simple premise: that Russia and the United States must establish a new relationship beyond that of the old Cold War mentality. The Cold War said loud and clear that we're opponents and that we bring the peace through ability for each of us to destroy each other.

Friends don't destroy each other. People who cooperate do not have a basis of peace on destruction. Our nations are confronted with new threats in the 21st century. Terror in the hands of what we call rogue nations is a threat. I expressed my concern, and so did the President, very openly, about nations on his border and nations that can't stand America's freedoms developing the capacity to hold each of us hostage. And he agreed.
The West doesn't have friends, it has interests.

The same can be said about China, or Russia, or any other State.

States don't represent the people they rule over, but the interests of the ruling class, either local or international, or some balance between both.

You should already know this.
