Indeed you are right, no moral equivalence is implied.
But in the long run, white supremacists should not be looked to as an appropriate or effective opposition to Putin.
And it is interesting that the western media can't find any one else to be the face of liberal democracy in Russia, is it because they can't find one or because they are just too lazy to check Navalny's actual position on things.

A concession means the private company operates the railway for a set fee and a set operational standard, the state owner will retain ticket revenue (and risk). This is how the London Overground concession works.
