Alexei Navalny

Brave Odyssey

In the shadowy realm of political resistance, Alexei Navalny stood as a beacon of courage, defying the oppressive forces that govern Russia.

Navalny’s sentence

Mr Navalny’s sentence was announced on the 27th day of what Moscow calls its “special military operation” in pro-Western Ukraine, where thousands have been killed and millions displaced. Immediately after Tuesday’s verdict, Mr Navalny, countered the Kremlin, saying Russian leader Vladimir Putin was afraid of the truth.

Dissent in the dock

One of the latest postings, which has received 116 million views, alleges that a lavish palace on the Black Sea shore was built for Putin through an elaborate corruption scheme.

Navalny sanctions

Last month, Biden called for Navalny’s release, saying he was “targeted for exposing corruption and should be released immediately and without condition.”

Popular discontent

Television channels, backed by the Kremlin, warned that flashlight rallies were integral to major uprisings the world over. The demonstrations were binned as “unapproved mass protest” and a terrorist group has been charged with plotting attacks.

Russia & the West

Navalny has interpreted the crackdown against him as a sign of Putin’s fear. But the Kremlin has insisted that Navalny had violated the law.
