No, the strategy is to let potential martyrs rot in prison until people forgot about them. THEN poison them. I guess Putin just felt like it had been long enough.
I guess the plan worked, his communications with his team and the public were severely hampered by his imprisonment and his team went in a different direction, effectively splitting Navalny’s name into the movement in his name and Navalny himself, but the latter is now dead and the former lost most of it’s traction due to his team’s actions, inaction, and general lack of charisma.
