Oh, come on. I don't know if you are Russian: if so, I would ask you to honestly think if you believe this is a threat. I personally don't. If you are not, I'd say that it probably would be a notable thing in USA, but Russia has a specific culture in a sense that nothing of this sort is perceived by anybody as a big news. Everyone always assumes that any rich person is a thief and a crook (even if they are not), and that everybody in a government is extremely rich (and a thief, and a crook squared) (even if they are not). Nobody gets surprised by anything of the sort.

I like watching these videos, BTW, because I like how they are made, it's pretty fun. But are they "hurting" anybody? I doubt so.

A single assassination of Navalny gives much more bad publicity, than 100 years of Navalny & ФБК making "Он вам не Димон" kind of movies. If they care about the latter, they surely don't want the former.
