ألكسي أناتوليڤيتش ناڤالني (روسية: Алексе́й Анато́льевич Нава́льный، النطق الروسي: [ɐlʲɪkˈsʲej ɐnɐˈtolʲɪvʲɪtɕ nɐˈvalʲnɨj])، و. 4 يونيو 1976 - ت. 16 فبراير 2024)، هو محامي، سياسي وناشط مالي،[4] وسياسي روسي. منذ 2009، احتل مكانة بارزة في روسيا، وفي الإعلام الروسي والعالمي، كناقد للفساد والرئيس الروسي ڤلاديمير پوتن. نظم مظاهرات واسعة النطاق تدعو للديمقراطية ولمهاجمة الفساد السياسي، پوتن، وحلفاء پوتن السياسيين؛ وترشح لمناصب سياسي على نفس البرنامج. في 2012، وصفته وال ستريت جورنال على أنه "أكثر شخص يخشاه ڤلاديمير پوتن."[5]

واصفاً نفسه "بالوطني الديمقراطي"، ناڤالني هو عضو مجلس تنسيق المعارضة الروسية وزعيم الحزب السياسي الروسي المسجل، حزب التقدم (روسية: Партия прогрессаتحالف الشعب سابقاً (روسية: Народный Альянс).[6][المصدر لا يؤكد ذلك] في سبتمبر 2013 خاض انتخابات عمدة موسكو، بدعم من الحزب الجمهوري الروسي - حزب حرية الشعب. جاء في المرتبة الثانية، بنسبة 27% من الأصوات، خاسراً أمام العمدة الشاغر سرگي سوبيانين، مرشح پوتن. كان إجمالي الأصوات التي حصل عليها أعلى مما توقعه المحللون السياسيون، لكن ناڤالني وحلفائه أصروا على أن الرقم الحقيقي لا يزال أعلى، وأن السلطات التي عقدت الانتخابات قامت بالتزوير لتجنب عقد انتخابات إعادة.[7]

اشتهر ناڤالني عن طريق مدونته، التي يستضيفها موقع لايڤ‌جورنال، والتي لا تزال وسيلته الرئيسية للتواصل مع الجمهور. استخدم مدونته للهجوم على پوتن وحلفائه، ولتنظيم المظاهرات السياسية، ولوضع وثائق توضح أن پوتن وحلفائه متورطين في سلوك unsavory، وأحدثها التي استخدمها للتوريج لحملاته الانتخابية من أجل المنصب. ولناڤالني نشاط في وسائل إعلامية أخرى: من أشهرها، في لقاء إذاعي في 2011 الذي وصف خلاله الحزب الحاكم في روسيا، روسيا المتحدة، على أنه "حزب المحتالين واللصوص"، الجملة التي أصبحت نعتاً شعبياً.[8] اشتهر ناڤالني كمدون ڤيديو وناشط في مكافحة الفساد، ويعتبر اليوم أكبر شوكة في خاصرة پوتن.

أُعتقـِل ناڤالني عدة مرات من قبل السلطات الروسية، أكثرها خطورة في 2012، عندما اتهمته السلطات الفدرالية بثلاث تهم اختلاس وافساد، لكنه أنكرها كلها.[9] في يوليو 2013 أُدين بالفساد وحكم عليه بخمس سنوات في مستعمرة العمل التصحيحي.[10][11] كرمه المركز التذكاري لحقوق الإنسان في روسيا كسجين سياسي.[12] أُطلق سراحه من السجن بعد يوم واحد من العقوبة.[13] عُلقت غرامة السجن في أكتوبر 2013.[14] في فبراير 2014 حوكم ناڤالني وشقيقه بتهم اختلاس ووُضع ناڤالني قيد الإقامة الجبرية في منزله ومُنع من التواصل مع أي شخص سوى عائلته؛ حكم عليه في ديسمبر 2014 بالسجن المشروط مع إيقاف التنفيذ لثلاث سنوات ونصف وحكم على شقيقه بالسجن تنفيذياً لثلاث سنوات ونصف.[15]

في 20 أغسطس 2020، أُدخل ناڤالني المستشفى في حالة خطيرة لكن مستقرة بعد تعرضه للتسمم بالنوڤيتشوك أثناء سفره من تومسك إلى موسكو في محاولة اغتيال محتملة بدوافع سياسية. بدل وجهته إلى أومسك.[16][17] في 22 أغسطس نُقل إلى برلين على رحلة إجلاء طبية مدفوعة من قبل منظمة سينما من أجل السلام الغير حكومية الألمانية.[18] [19] في 7 سبتمبر 2020، أفاق ناڤالني من الغيبوبة.[20] في يناير 2021، عاد ناڤالني إلى روسيا، ليتم اعتقاله، مما أدى لاندلاع احتجاجات واسعة النطاق للمطالبة بإطلاق سراحه. وحتى بعد اعتقاله، نشرت منظمته ڤيديو في منتصف يناير، يتهم پوتن بامتلاك قصر بمليارات الدولارات.

في فبراير 2021، استدبل الحكم الصادر بحقه بالسجن لمدة تزيد عن سنتين ونصف مع وقف التنفيذ،[21][22][23] وُصنفت منظماته لاحقاً كمنظمة وتم حلها، بما في ذلك FBK. في مارس 2022، حُكم على ناڤالني بالسجن تسع سنوات إضافية بعد إدانته بالاختلاس وازدراء المحكمة في محاكمة جديدة وصفتها منظمة العفو الدولية بأنها صورية؛[24][25] رُفض استئنافه، وفي يونيو، نُقل إلى سجن شديد الحراسة.[26] وفي أغسطس 2023، حُكم على ناڤالني بالسجن لمدة 19 عامًا إضافية بتهم التطرف[27] مما يعني أنه سيتم إطلاق سراحه في ديسمبر 2038.[28] وعلق ناڤالني بأن عقوبته تعادل حياته أو حياة النظام السياسي في البلاد.[29]

في ديسمبر 2023، اختفى ناڤالني من السجن لمدة ثلاثة أسابيع تقريبًا. ظهر مرة أخرى في مستعمرة تصحيحية في الدائرة القطبية الشمالية في أكروگ يمالو-ننتس الذاتي.[30][31] في 16 فبراير 2024، أفادت خدمة السجون الروسية أن نافالني توفى عن عمر يناهز 47 عامًا.[32][33]

السنواته المبكرة

وُلد ناڤالني 4 يونيو 1976 من أصول روسية وأوكرانية.[34][35] كان والده من زاليسيا، وهي قرية سابقة بالقرب من الحدود البيلاروسية نُقلت بسبب كارثة تشيرنوبيل في رايون إيڤانكيڤ، أوبلاست كييڤ، أوكرانيا. نشأ ناڤالني في أوبنينسك، على بعد حوالي 100 كم جنوب غرب موسكو، لكنه أمضى الصيف في طفولته مع جدته في أوكرانيا، وأتقن اللغة الأوكرانية.[34][36] كان والداه أناتولي ناڤالني وليودميلا ناڤالنايا، يمتلكان مصنعًا لنسيج السلال، وكانا يديرانه منذ عام 1994، في قرية كوبياكوڤو، أوبلاست ڤولوگدا. وحتى 2012 كانا لا يزالان يديران المصنع.[37]

تخرج ناڤالني من مدرسة كالينينتس الثانوية عام 1993.[38] وعام 1998 حصل على شهادة القانون من جامعة الصداقة الشعبية الروسية.[2] ثم درس السندات المالية والبورصات في جامعة المالية تحت رعاية الحكومة الاتحادية الروسية، وتخرج عام 2001.[39][40]

عام 2010 حصل على منحة دراسية لبرنامج زميل يل العالمي في جامعة يل.[41][42]


مسيرته القانونية

ناڤالني في 2011.

منذ عام 1998، كان ناڤالني يعمل محامياً لعدد من الشركات الروسية.[38]

عام 2009، أصبح ناڤالني محاميًا وعضوًا في غرفة المحامين (نقابة المحامين) في أوبلاست كيروڤ (رقم التسجيل 43/547). في 2010، وبسبب انتقاله إلى موسكو، توقف عن كونه عضوًا في غرفة المحامين في أوبلاست كيروڤ وأصبح عضوًا في غرفة المحامين بموسكو (رقم التسجيل 77/9991).[43][44]

في نوفمبر 2013، بعد دخول الحكم في قضية كيروڤلس حيز التنفيذ، حُرم ناڤالني من صفة المحامي.[45][46]

الناشطية المبكرة

يابلوكو

ناڤالني في 2006.

عام 2000، بعد الإعلان عن قانون جديد من شأنه رفع العتبة الانتخابية لانتخابات مجلس الدوما، انضم ناڤالني إلى الحزب الديمقراطي الروسي المتحد يابلوكو. وفقًا لناڤالني، فُرض القانون ضد يابلوكو واتحاد قوى اليمين، وقرر الانضمام، على الرغم من أنه لم يكن "معجباً كثيراً" بأي من الحزبين.[47] عام 2001، أُدرج على قائمة أعضاء الحزب.[47] عام 2002، أُنتخب ناڤالني عضواً بالمجلس الإقليمي لفرع يابلوكو موسكو.[48] في عام 2003، ترأس قسم فرع موسكو للحملة الانتخابية للحزب من أجل الانتخابات البرلمانية التي أجريت في ديسمبر وأبريل 2004، أصبح ناڤالني رئيسًا لفرع يابلوكو في موسكو، وظل في المنصب حتى فبراير 2007. وفي 2004 أيضًا، أصبح نائبًا لرئيس فرع الحزب في موسكو. ومن 2006 حتى 2007 كان عضواً في المجلس الاتحادي للحزب.[49]

في أغسطس 2005، تم قبول ناڤالني في المجلس الاجتماعي الأوكروگ الإداري المركزي في موسكو، والذي تأسس قبل انتخابات مجلس الدوما لمدينة موسكو التي أجريت في وقت لاحق من ذلك العام، والتي شارك فيها كمرشح. في نوفمبر، كان أحد المبادرين بإنشاء الغرفة العامة للشباب، التي تهدف إلى مساعدة السياسيين الشباب على المشاركة في المبادرات التشريعية.[49] في الوقت نفسه، عام 2005، أسس ناڤالني حركة اجتماعية شبابية أخرى، تسمى "DA! - البديل الديمقراطي".[ت] ولم يكن المشروع مرتبطا بحزب يابلوكو ولا بأي حزب سياسي آخر. وداخل الحركة شارك ناڤالني في عدد من المشاريع. وعلى وجه الخصوص، كان أحد منظمي المناظرات السياسية التي أدارتها الحركة، والتي سرعان ما ترددت أصداؤها في وسائل الإعلام.[49] كما نظم ناڤالني مناظرات تلفزيونية عبر قناة موسكو الحكومية تي ڤي سنتر؛ أظهرت الحلقتان الأوليتان تقييمات عالية، لكن العرض أُلغي فجأة. وبحسب ناڤالني، منعت السلطات ظهور أشخاص معينين على شاشة التلفزيون.[49]

في أواخر 2006، قدم ناڤالني التماسًا إلى مجلس مدينة موسكو، طالبًا منه منح الإذن للقيام بخروج المسيرة الروسية 2006. لكنه أضاف أن يابلوكو يدين "أي كراهية عرقية أو عنصرية وأي كراهية للأجانب" ودعا الشرطة إلى معارضة "أي مظاهر فاشية أو نازية أو معادية للأجانب".[ث]

في يوليو 2007، استقال ناڤالني من منصب نائب رئيس فرع الحزب في موسكو.[49] وبالتالي طُرد من يابلوكو لمطالبته باستقالة رئيس الحزب، گريگوري ياڤلينسكي.[51] وفي عام 2007 أيضًا، شارك ناڤالني في تأسيس حركة التحرير الوطنية الروسية، المعروفة باسم NAROD (الشعب)، والتي تضع سياسة الهجرة كأولوية.[52] تحالفت الحركة مع مجموعتين قوميتين، الحركة ضد الهجرة غير الشرعية وروسيا العظمى.[53]


احتجاجات الانتخابات البرلمانية 2011

ناڤالني في المحكمة، 6 ديسمبر 2011.

في ديسمبر 2011، في أعقاب الانتخابات البرلمانية واتهامات بتزوير الانتخابات،[54] تجمع في موسكوما يقرب من 6000 شخص للاحتجاج على النتيجة المتنازع عليها، وأُعتقل ما يقدر بنحو 300 شخص، بما في ذلك ناڤالني في 5 ديسمبر.[55][56] وبعد فترة من عدم اليقين بالنسبة لمؤيديه، مثل ناڤالني أمام المحكمة وحُكم عليه بالسجن لمدة أقصاها 15 يوما "لتحديه مسؤولاً حكومياً"، أليكسي ڤنديكتوڤ، رئيس تحرير راديو صدى موسكو، وصف الاعتقال بأنه "خطأ سياسي: سجن ناڤالني يحوله من زعيم عبر الإنترنت إلى زعيم خارج الإنترنت".[56] بعد اعتقاله، أصبحت مدونته باللغة الإنگليزية غير متاحة.[55] أُحتجز ناڤالني في نفس السجن مع العديد من النشطاء الآخرين، بما في ذلك إيليا ياشين وسرگي أودالتسوڤ، الزعيم غير الرسمي لمجموعة طليعة الشباب الأحمر، وهي مجموعة شبابية شيوعية روسية متطرفة. أضرب أودالتسوڤ عن الطعام احتجاجًا على الظروف.[57]

ناڤالني في مسيرة موسكو، 10 مارس 2012.

عند إطلاق سراحه في 20 ديسمبر 2011، دعا ناڤالني الروس إلى الاتحاد ضد پتن، الذي قال ناڤالني أنه سيحاول إعلان الفوز في الانتخابات الرئاسية، التي عقدت في 4 مارس 2012.[58]

بعد إطلاق سراحه، أبلغ ناڤالني المراسلين أنه سيكون من غير المنطقي بالنسبة له أن يترشح للانتخابات الرئاسية لأن الكرملين لن يسمح بأن تكون الانتخابات نزيهة، ولكن إذا أجريت انتخابات حرة، فإنه "سيكون" "جاهز" للترشح.[58] وفي 24 ديسمبر، ساعد في قيادة مظاهرة يقدر عددها بنحو 50.000 شخص، وهي أكبر بكثير من المظاهرة السابقة التي أعقبت الانتخابات. وقال في حديثه أمام الحشد: "أرى عددًا كافيًا من الناس للسيطرة على الكرملين الآن".[59]

في مارس 2012، بعد انتخاب پوتن رئيسًا، ساعد ناڤالني في قيادة مظاهرة مناهضة لپوتن في ميدان پوشكينسكايا في موسكو، حضرها ما بين 14.000 إلى 20.000 شخص. وبعد المظاهرة، احتجزت السلطات ناڤالني لعدة ساعات، ثم أطلقت سراحه.[60] في 8 مايو 2012، في اليوم التالي لتنصيب پوتن، تم القبض على ناڤالني وأودالتسوپ بعد مسيرة مناهضة لپوتن في كلين پوندز، وحكم عليهما بالسجن 15 يومًا.[61] صنفت منظمة العفو الدولية الرجلين كسجناء رأي.[62] في 11 يونيو، أجرى المدعون العامون في موسكو تفتيشًا لمدة 12 ساعة لمنزل ناڤالني ومكتبه وشقة أحد أقاربه.[63] وبعد ذلك بوقت قصير، نُشرت بعض رسائل البريد الإلكتروني الشخصية لناڤالني على الإنترنت من قبل مدون مؤيد للحكومة.[64]

الحزب الجديد

في 26 يونيو 2012، أُعلن أن رفاق ناڤالني سيؤسسون حزبًا سياسيًا جديدًا على أساس الديمقراطية الإلكترونية؛ وأعلن ناڤالني أنه لا يعتزم المشاركة في هذا المشروع في الوقت الحالي.[65] وفي 31 يوليو، قدموا وثيقة تسجيل لجنة تنظيمية لحزب مستقبلي يسمى "تحالف الشعب".[66] عرّف الحزب نفسه كحزب وسطي؛ وأوضح أحد قادة الحزب الحاليين آنذاك، وڤلاديمير أشوركوڤ، حليف ناڤالني، أن الهدف من ذلك هو مساعدة الحزب في الحصول على حصة كبيرة من الناخبين. وقال ناڤالني إن مفهوم الأحزاب السياسية "عفا عليه الزمن"، وأضاف أن مشاركته ستجعل الحفاظ على الحزب أكثر صعوبة. لكنه "بارك" الحزب وناقش مع قادته الحفاظ عليه. وذكروا بدورهم أنهم يريدون أن يروا ناڤالني في نهاية المطاف عضوًا في الحزب.[67] في 15 ديسمبر 2012، أعرب ناڤالني عن دعمه للحزب قائلاً: "تحالف الشعب هو حزبي"، لكنه رفض الانضمام إليه مرة أخرى، مستشهداً بالقضايا الجنائية المرفوعة ضده.[68]

في 10 أبريل 2013، قدم الحزب وثائق التسجيل الرسمي الخاصة به.[69]في 30 أبريل، عُلق تسجيل الحزب.[70] في 5 يوليو 2013، تم رفض تسجيل الحزب. بحسب إزڤستيا، لم يكن جميع مؤسسي الحزب حاضرين أثناء المؤتمر، على الرغم من أن الأوراق احتوت على توقيعاتهم.[71] ورد ناڤالني على ذلك بتغريدة قال فيها: "وابل بجميع الأسلحة."[72] في أعقاب الانتخابات البلدية، في 15 سبتمبر 2013، أعلن ناڤالني أنه سينضم وربما يترأس الحزب.[73] في 17 نوفمبر 2013، أُنتخب ناڤالني زعيمًا للحزب.[74]

في 8 يناير 2014، قدم حزب ناڤالني وثائق التسجيل للمرة الثانية.[75] في 20 يناير عُلق تسجي الحزب؛[76] ووفقا للقوانين الروسية، لا يمكن لحزبين أن يشتركا في الاسم.[77] في 8 فبراير 2014، غير حزب ناڤالني اسمه إلى "حزب التقدم".[78] في 25 فبراير 2014، تم تسجيل الحزب، [79] وفي هذه المرحلة، كان أمامه ستة أشهر لتسجيل الفروع الإقليمية في نصف الكيانات الاتحادية الروسية على الأقل.[ج] وفي 26 سبتمبر 2014، أعلن الحزب أنه سجل 43 فرعاً إقليمياً.[81] وقال مصدر في الوزارة لم يذكر اسمه "لإزڤستيا"، إن التسجيلات المكتملة بعد فترة الستة أشهر لن تؤخذ في الاعتبار، مضيفًا "نعم، تجري تجارب في بعض المناطق... ولا يمكنهم تسجيل فروع جديدة في مناطق أخرى". المناطق خلال التجارب، لأن المصطلح الرئيسي قد انتهى". وردت مدونة ناڤالني قائلة: "إجابتنا بسيطة. لقد تم تمديد فترة التسجيل البالغة ستة أشهر بشكل قانوني للمحاكمة "المؤقتة" لاستئنافات الرفض وتعليق التسجيل".[81]

حملة انتخابات ناڤالني في 2013.

في 1 فبراير 2015، عقد الحزب مؤتمرًا، حيث ذكر ناڤالني أن الحزب يستعد لانتخابات 2016، معلنًا أن الحزب سيواصل نشاطه في جميع أنحاء روسيا، قائلاً: "نحن لا نخجل من العمل في الأراضي النائية حيث لا تعمل المعارضة. يمكننا حتى [العمل] في شبه جزيرة القرم". وكان من المقرر اختيار المرشحين الذين سيعينهم الحزب عن طريق الانتخابات التمهيدية. لكنه أضاف أن مرشحي الحزب قد يتم استبعادهم من الانتخابات.[82] في 17 أبريل 2015، أسس الحزب ائتلافًا للأحزاب الديمقراطية.[83] وفي 28 أبريل 2015، حرمت وزارة العدل الحزب من التسجيل، التي ذكرت أن الحزب لم يسجل العدد المطلوب من الفروع الإقليمية خلال ستة أشهر من التسجيل الرسمي.[84] وادعى كراينيڤ أنه لا يمكن القضاء على الحزب إلا من قبل المحكمة العليا، وأضاف أنه لم تنته جميع محاكمات تسجيل الفروع الإقليمية، واصفًا الحكم بأنه "غير قانوني مرتين". وأضاف أن الحزب سيستأنف أمام المحكمة الأوروپية لحقوق الإنسان، وأعرب عن ثقته في استعادة الحزب وقبوله في الانتخابات.[85] وفي اليوم التالي، طعن الحزب رسميًا في الحكم.[86]

Percentages of Muscovites who voted for Navalny during the election
Navalny's meeting at Bolotnaya Square in Moscow, 9 September 2013

On 30 May 2013, Sergey Sobyanin, the mayor of Moscow, argued an elected mayor is an advantage for the city compared to an appointed one,[94] and on 4 June, he announced he would meet President Vladimir Putin and ask him for a snap election, mentioning the Muscovites would agree the governor elections should take place in the city of Moscow and the surrounding Moscow Oblast simultaneously.[95] On 6 June, the request was granted,[96] and the next day, the Moscow City Duma appointed the election on 8 September, the national voting day.[97]

On 3 June, Navalny announced he would run for the post.[98] To become an official candidate, he would need either seventy thousand signatures of Muscovites or to be pegged for the office by a registered party, and then to collect 110 signatures of municipal deputies from 110 different subdivisions (three-quarters of Moscow's 146). Navalny chose to be pegged by a party, RPR–PARNAS.[99]

Among the six candidates who were officially registered as such, only two (Sobyanin and Communist Ivan Melnikov) were able to collect the required number of the signatures themselves, and the other four were given a number of signatures by the Council of Municipal Formations, following a recommendation by Sobyanin,[100] to overcome the requirement (Navalny accepted 49 signatures, and other candidates accepted 70, 70, and 82).[101]

On 17 July, Navalny was registered as one of the six candidates for the Moscow mayoral election.[102] However, on 18 July, he was sentenced to a five-year prison term for the embezzlement and fraud charges that were declared in 2012. Several hours after his sentencing, he pulled out of the race and called for a boycott of the election.[103] However, later that day, the prosecution office requested the accused should be freed on bail and released from travel restrictions, since the verdict had not yet taken legal effect, saying that the accused had previously followed the restrictions. Navalny was a mayoral candidate, and an imprisonment would thus not comply with his rule for equal access to the electorate.[104] On his return to Moscow after being freed, pending an appeal, he vowed to stay in the race.[105] The Washington Post has speculated that his release was ordered by the Kremlin in order to make the election and Sobyanin appear more legitimate.[7]

Navalny's campaign was successful in fundraising: out of 103.4 million rubles (approximately $3.09 million as of the election day[rates 1]), the total size of his electoral fund, 97.3 million ($2.91 million) were transferred by individuals throughout Russia;[107] such an amount is unprecedented in Russia.[108] It achieved a high profile through an unprecedentedly large campaign organisation that involved around 20,000 volunteers who passed out leaflets and hung banners, in addition to conducting several campaign rallies a day around the city;[109] they were the main driving force for the campaign.[110] The New Yorker described the resulted campaign as "a miracle", along with Navalny's release on 19 July, the fundraising campaign, and the personality of Navalny himself.[111] The campaign received very little television coverage and did not utilise billboards. Thanks to Navalny's strong campaign (and Sobyanin's weak one[109]), his result grew over time, weakening Sobyanin's, and in the end of the campaign, he declared the runoff election (to be conducted if none of the candidates receives at least 50% of votes) was "a hair's breadth away".[112]

The largest sociological research organisations predicted that Sobyanin would win the election, scoring 58% to 64% of the vote; they expected Navalny to receive 15–20% of the vote, and the turnout was to be 45–52%. (Levada Center was the only one not to have made any predictions; the data it had on 28 August, however, falls in line with other organisations.)[113] The final results of the voting showed Navalny received 27% of the vote, more than candidates appointed by the parties that received second, third, fourth, and fifth highest results during the 2011 parliamentary elections, altogether. Navalny fared better in the center and southwest of Moscow, which have higher income and education levels.[7] However, Sobyanin received 51% of the vote, which meant he won the election. The turnout was 32%.[114] The organisations explained the differences were because Sobyanin's electorate did not vote, as they felt that their candidate was guaranteed to win. Navalny's campaign office predicted Sobyanin would score 49–51%, and Navalny would get 24–26% of votes.[113]

Many experts said the election had been fair, that the number of irregularities had been much lower than those of other elections held within the country, and that the irregularities had had little effect on the result.[115][116] Dmitri Abyzalov, leading expert of Center of Political Conjuncture, added low turnout figures provide a further sign of fairness of the election, because that shows they were not overestimated.[115] However, according to Andrei Buzin, co-chairman of the GOLOS Association, State Departments of Social Security added people who did not originally want to vote to lists of those who would vote at home, with the number of such voters being 5% of those who voted, and added this did cause questions if Sobyanin would score 50% if this did not take place.[116] Dmitry Oreshkin, leader of the "People's election commission" project (who did a separate counting based on the data from election observers; their result for Sobyanin was 50%), said now that the runoff election was only 2% away, all details would be looked at very closely, and added it was impossible to prove "anything" juridically.[117]

On 9 September, the day following the election, Navalny publicly denounced the tally, saying, "We do not recognise the results. They are fake". Sobyanin's office rejected an offer of a vote recount.[118] On 12 September, Navalny addressed the Moscow City Court to overturn the result of the poll; the court rejected the assertion. Navalny then challenged the decision in the Supreme Court of Russia, but the court ruled that the election results were legitimate.[119]

RPR-PARNAS and democratic coalition

Following the mayoral election, Navalny was offered a position as the fourth co-chairman of RPR-PARNAS.[120] On 14 November 2014, the two remaining RPR-PARNAS co-chairmen, Boris Nemtsov and former Prime Minister of Russia Mikhail Kasyanov, declared it was the right moment to create a wide coalition of political forces, who favour the "European choice"; Navalny's Progress Party was seen as one of the potential participants.[121] However, on 27 February 2015, Nemtsov was shot dead. Prior to his assassination, Nemtsov worked on a project of a coalition, in which Navalny and Khodorkovsky would become co-chairmen of RPR-PARNAS. Navalny declared merging parties would invoke bureaucratic difficulties and question the legitimacy of party's right to participate in federal elections without signatures collecting.[122] However, Nemtsov's murder accelerated the work, and on 17 April, Navalny declared a wide discussion had taken place among Progress Party, RPR-PARNAS, and other closely aligned parties, which resulted in an agreement of formation of a new electoral bloc between the two leaders.[83] Soon thereafter, it was signed by four other parties and supported by Khodorkovsky's Open Russia foundation.[123] Electoral blocs are not present within the current[when?] law system of Russia, so it would be realised via means of a single party, RPR-PARNAS, which is not only eligible for participation in statewide elections, but is also currently[when?] not required to collect citizens' signatures for the right to participate in the State Duma elections scheduled for September 2016, due to the regional parliament mandate previously taken by Nemtsov. The candidates RPR-PARNAS would appoint were to be chosen via primary elections.[124]

On 5 July 2015, Kasyanov was elected as the only leader of RPR-PARNAS, and the party was renamed to just PARNAS. He added he would like to eventually re-establish the institution of co-chairmanship, adding, "Neither Alexei Navalny nor Mikhail Khodorkovsky will enter our party today and be elected as co-chairmen. But in the future, I think, such time will come".[125] On 7 July, in an interview released by TV Rain, he specified Navalny could not leave a party of his, and this would need to be completed by PARNAS adsorbing members of the Progress Party and other parties of the coalition, and Navalny would be to come at some point when he "grows into this and feels this could be done" and join the party as well.[126]

Protesters marching along Moscow's Tverskaya Street, 26 March 2017

The coalition claimed to have collected enough citizens' signatures for registration in the four regions it originally aimed for. However, in one region, the coalition would declare some signatures and personal data have been altered by malevolent collectors;[127] signatures in the other regions have been rejected by regional election commissions.[128][129][130] In Novosibirsk Oblast, some election office staff went on a hunger strike, which was abandoned almost two weeks since its inception, when Khodorkovsky, Navalny, and Kasyanov publicly advised to do so.[131] Сomplaints have been issued to the Central Election Commission of Russia, after which the coalition has been registered as a participant in a regional election in one of the three contested regions, Kostroma Oblast. According to a source of Gazeta.ru "close to the Kremlin", the presidential administration saw coalition's chances as very low, yet was wary, but the restoration in one region occurred so PARNAS could "score a consolation goal".[132] According to the official election results, the coalition scored 2% of votes, not enough to overcome the 5% threshold; the party admitted the election was lost.[133]

2018 presidential election

Navalny announced his entry into the presidential race on 13 December 2016,[134][135] however on 8 February 2017, the Leninsky district court of Kirov repeated its sentence of 2013 (which was previously annulled after the decision of ECHR, which ruled that Russia had violated Navalny's right to a fair trial, in the Kirovles case) and charged him with a five-year suspended sentence.[136] This sentence, if it came into force and remained valid, might prohibit the future official registration of Navalny as a candidate. Navalny announced that he would pursue the annulment of the sentence that clearly contradicts the decision of ECHR. Moreover, Navalny announced that his presidential campaign would proceed independently of court decisions. He referred to the Russian Constitution (Article 32), which deprives only two groups of citizens of the right to be elected: those recognised by the court as legally unfit and those kept in places of confinement by a court sentence. According to Freedom House and The Economist, Navalny was the most viable contender to Vladimir Putin in the 2018 election.[137][138] Navalny organised a series of anti-corruption rallies in different cities across Russia in March. This appeal was responded to by the representatives of 95 Russian cities, and four cities abroad: London, Prague, Basel and Bonn.[139]

Navalny's campaign rally in Yekaterinburg, 16 September 2017

Navalny was attacked by unknown assailants outside his office in the Anti-Corruption Foundation on 27 April 2017. They sprayed brilliant green dye, possibly mixed with other components, into his face in a Zelyonka attack that can damage eyes of the victim. He had been attacked before, earlier in the spring. In the second attack, the green-colored disinfectant had evidently been mixed with a caustic chemical, resulting in a chemical burn to his right eye.[140] He reportedly lost 80 percent of the sight in his right eye.[141][142] Navalny accused the Kremlin of orchestrating the attack.[143][144]

Navalny was released from jail on 27 July 2017 after spending 25 days of imprisonment. Before that, he was arrested in Moscow for participating in protests and was sentenced to 30 days in jail for organising illegal protests.[145]

In September 2017, Human Rights Watch accused Russian police of systematic interference with Navalny's presidential campaign. "The pattern of harassment and intimidation against Navalny's campaign is undeniable," said Hugh Williamson, Europe, and Central Asia director at Human Rights Watch. "Russian authorities should let Navalny's campaigners work without undue interference and properly investigate attacks against them by ultra-nationalists and pro-government groups."[146] On 21 September, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe invited Russian authorities, in connection with the Kirovles case, "to use urgently further avenues to erase the prohibition on Mr. Navalny's standing for election".[147]

Navalny was sentenced to 20 days in jail on 2 October 2017 for calls to participate in protests without approval from state authorities.[148]

Roman Rubanov, Navalny and Ivan Zhdanov at a meeting of the Central Election Commission in December 2017

In December 2017, Russia's Central Electoral Commission barred Navalny from running for president in 2018, citing Navalny's corruption conviction. The European Union said Navalny's removal cast "serious doubt" on the election. Navalny called for a boycott of the 2018 presidential election, stating his removal meant that millions of Russians were being denied their vote.[149] Navalny filed an appeal against the Russian Supreme Court's ruling on 3 January,[150] however a few days later on 6 January, the Supreme Court of Russia rejected his appeal.[151]

Navalny led protests on 28 January 2018 to urge a boycott of Russia's 2018 presidential election. Navalny was arrested on the day of the protest and then released the same day, pending trial. OVD-Info reported that 257 people were arrested throughout the country. According to Russian news reports, police stated Navalny was likely to be charged with calling for unauthorised demonstrations.[152] Two of Navalny's associates were given brief jail terms for urging people to attend unsanctioned opposition rallies. Navalny stated on 5 February 2018 the government was accusing Navalny of assaulting an officer during the protests.[153] Navalny was among 1600 people detained during 5 May protests prior to Putin's inauguration; Navalny was charged with disobeying police.[154] On 15 May, he was sentenced to 30 days in jail.[155] Immediately after his release on 25 September 2018, he was arrested and convicted for organising illegal demonstrations and sentenced to another 20 days in jail.[156]

2019 Moscow City Duma elections

Rally for right to vote in Moscow (10 August 2019)

During the 2019 Moscow City Duma election Navalny supported independent candidates, most of whom were not allowed to participate in the elections, which led to mass street protests. In July 2019, Navalny was arrested, first for ten days, and then, almost immediately, for 30 days. On the evening of 28 July, he was hospitalised with severe damage to his eyes and skin. At the hospital, he was diagnosed with an "allergy," although this diagnosis was disputed by Anastasia Vasilieva, an ophthalmologist who previously treated Navalny after a chemical attack by an alleged protester in 2017.[157] Vasilieva questioned the diagnosis and suggested the possibility that Navalny's condition was the result of "the damaging effects of undetermined chemicals".[158] On 29 July 2019, Navalny was discharged from hospital and taken back to prison, despite the objections of his personal physician who questioned the hospital's motives.[157][159] Supporters of Navalny and journalists near the hospital were attacked by the police and many were detained.[158] In response, he initiated the Smart Voting project.[160]

2020 constitutional referendum

Navalny campaigned against the vote on constitutional amendments that took place on 1 July, calling it a "coup" and a "violation of the constitution".[16] He also said that the changes would allow President Putin to become "president for life".[161][162] After the results were announced, he called them a "big lie" that did not reflect public opinion.[163] The reforms include an amendment allowing Putin to serve another two terms in office (until 2036), after his fourth presidential term ends.[16]

Anti-corruption investigations

In 2008, Navalny invested 300,000 rubles in stocks of five oil and gas companies: Rosneft, Gazprom, Gazprom Neft, Lukoil, and Surgutneftegas, thus becoming an activist shareholder.[47] As such, he began to aim at making the financial assets of these companies transparent. This is required by law, but there are allegations that high-level managers of these companies are involved in theft and resisting transparency.[164]

In November 2010, Navalny published[165] confidential documents about Transneft's auditing. According to Navalny's blog, about US$4 billion were stolen by Transneft's leaders during the construction of the Eastern Siberia–Pacific Ocean oil pipeline.[166][167] In December, Navalny announced the launch of the RosPil (ru) project, which seeks to bring to light corrupt practices in the government procurement process.[168] The project takes advantage of existing procurement regulation that requires all government requests for tender to be posted online. Information about winning bids must be posted online as well. The name RosPil is a pun on the slang term "распил" (literally "sawing"),[169] implying the embezzlement of state funds.[170]

In May 2011, Navalny launched RosYama (literally "Russian Hole"), a project that allowed individuals to report potholes and track government responses to complaints.[171] In August, Navalny published papers related to a scandalous real estate deal[172] between the Hungarian and Russian governments.[173][174] According to the papers, Hungary sold a former embassy building in Moscow for US$21 million to an offshore company of Viktor Vekselberg, who immediately resold it to the Russian government for US$116 million. The property's real value was estimated at approximately US$52 million. Irregularities in the paper trail implied collusion. Three Hungarian officials responsible for the deal were detained in February 2011.[175]

In February 2012, Navalny concluded that Russian federal money going to Ramzan Kadyrov's Chechen Interior Ministry was being spent "in a totally shadowy and fraudulent way."[176] In May, Navalny accused Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov of corruption, stating that companies owned by Roman Abramovich and Alisher Usmanov had transferred tens of millions of dollars to Shuvalov's company, allowing Shuvalov to share in the profit from Usmanov's purchase of the British steel company Corus. Navalny posted scans of documents to his blog showing the money transfers.[177] Usmanov and Shuvalov stated the documents Navalny had posted were legitimate, but that the transaction had not violated Russian law. "I unswervingly followed the rules and principles of conflict of interest," said Shuvalov. "For a lawyer, this is sacred".[178] In July, Navalny posted documents on his blog allegedly showing that Alexander Bastrykin, head of the Investigative Committee of Russia, owned an undeclared business in the Czech Republic. The posting was described by the Financial Times as Navalny's "answering shot" for having had his emails leaked during his arrest in the previous month.[64]

The Levada Center survey showed that 58% of surveyed Russians supported the 2017 Russian protests against government corruption.[179]

In August 2018, Navalny alleged that Viktor Zolotov stole at least US$29 million from procurement contracts for the National Guard of Russia. Shortly after his allegations against Zolotov, Navalny was imprisoned for staging protests in January 2018. Subsequently, Viktor Zolotov published a video message on 11 September challenging Navalny to a duel and promising to make "good, juicy mincemeat" of him.[180][181]

Medvedev

In March 2017, Navalny published the investigation He Is Not Dimon to You, accusing Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev of corruption. The authorities either ignored the accusation or argued that it was made by a "convicted criminal" and not worth comment. On 26 March, Navalny organised a series of anti-corruption rallies in cities across Russia. In some cities, the rallies were sanctioned by authorities, but in others, including Moscow and Saint Petersburg, they were not allowed. The Moscow police said that 500 people had been detained, but according to the human-rights group OVD-Info, 1,030 people were detained in Moscow alone, including Navalny himself.[182][183] On 27 March, he was fined 20,000 rubles minimum for organising an illegal protest, and jailed for 15 days for resisting arrest.[184]

Putin

Navalny and his team organized around 90 "He's Not Our Tsar" protests across Russia in May 2018.[185]

On 19 January 2021, two days after he was detained by Russian authorities upon his return to Russia, an investigation by Navalny and the FBK was published accusing President Vladimir Putin of using fraudulently obtained funds to build a massive estate for himself near the town of Gelendzhik in Krasnodar Krai, in what he called "the world's biggest bribe". The estate was first reported on in 2010 after the businessman Sergei Kolesnikov, who was involved in the project, gave details about it. According to Navalny, the estate is 39 times the size of Monaco, with the Federal Security Service (FSB) owning 70 square kilometers of land around the palace, and the estate cost over 100 billion rubles ($1.35 billion) to construct.[186] It also showed aerial footage of the estate via a drone, and a detailed floorplan of the palace that Navalny and the FBK said was given by a contractor, which was compared to photographs from inside the palace that were leaked onto the Internet in 2011. Using the floorplan, computer-generated visualisations of the palace interior were also shown.[187]

There are impregnable fences, its own port, its own security, a church, its own permit system, a no-fly zone, and even its own border checkpoint. It is absolutely a separate state within Russia.[187]

— Alexei Anatolievich Navalny

This investigation also detailed an elaborate corruption scheme allegedly involving Putin's inner circle that allowed Putin to hide billions of dollars to build the estate. Navalny's team also said that it managed to confirm reporting about Putin's alleged lovers Svetlana Krivonogikh and Alina Kabaeva.[187][188][189][190] Navalny's video on YouTube garnered over 20 million views in less than a day, and over 92 million after a week. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov in a press conference called the investigation a "scam" and said that citizens should "think before transferring money to such crooks".[191]

Putin denied ownership of the palace and the oligarch Arkady Rotenberg, Putin's childhood friend and judo partner, claimed ownership.[192][193]

Kirovles case

Case

Navalny in court as part of the Kirovles trial, 2013

On 30 July 2012, the Investigative Committee charged Navalny with embezzlement. The committee stated that he had conspired to steal timber from Kirovles, a state-owned company in Kirov Oblast, in 2009, while acting as an adviser to Kirov's governor Nikita Belykh.[178][194] Investigators had closed a previous probe into the claims for lack of evidence.[195] Navalny was released on his own recognisance but instructed not to leave Moscow.[196]

Navalny described the charges as "weird" and unfounded.[197] He stated that authorities "are doing it to watch the reaction of the protest movement and of Western public opinion ... So far they consider both of these things acceptable and so they are continuing along this line".[178] His supporters protested before the Investigative Committee offices.[194]

In April 2013, Loeb & Loeb LLP[ح] issued "An Analysis of the Russian Federation's prosecutions of Alexei Navalny", a paper detailing Investigative Committee accusations. The paper concludes that "the Kremlin has reverted to misuse of the Russian legal system to harass, isolate and attempt to silence political opponents".[198][199]

Conviction and release

The Kirovles trial commenced in the city of Kirov on 17 April 2013.[200] On 18 July, Navalny was sentenced to five years in jail for embezzlement.[201] He was found guilty of misappropriating about 16 million rubles'[202] ($500,000) worth of lumber from a state-owned company.[203] The sentence read by the judge Sergey Blinov was textually the same as the request of the prosecutor, with the only exception that Navalny was given five years, and the prosecution requested six years.[204]

"Enough of fake cases". The protest against the verdict in Moscow, 18 July 2013

Later that evening, the Prosecutor's Office appealed Navalny and Ofitserov jail sentences, arguing that until the higher court affirmed the sentence, the sentence was invalid. The next morning, the appeal was granted. Navalny and Ofitserov were released on 19 July, awaiting the hearings of the higher court.[205] The prosecutor's requested decision was described as "unprecedented" by experts.[من؟][206]

Probation

The prison sentence was suspended by a court in Kirov on 16 October 2013, still being a burden for his political future.[14]

Review of the sentence

On 23 February 2016, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Russia had violated Navalny's right to a fair trial, and ordered the government to pay him 56,000 euros in legal costs and damages.[207]

On 16 November 2016, Russia's Supreme Court overturned the 2013 sentence, sending the verdict back to the Leninsky District Court in Kirov for review.[208]

On 8 February 2017, the Leninsky district court of Kirov repeated its sentence of 2013 and charged Navalny with a five-year suspended sentence.[136] Navalny announced that he will pursue the annulment of the sentence that clearly contradicts the decision of ECHR.[209][210]

Yves Rocher case and home arrest

Case

In 2008, Oleg Navalny made an offer to Yves Rocher Vostok, the Eastern European subsidiary of Yves Rocher between 2008 and 2012, to accredit Glavpodpiska, which was created by Navalny, with delivering duties. On 5 August, the parties signed a contract. To fulfill the obligations under the agreement, Glavpodpiska outsourced the task to sub-suppliers, AvtoSAGA and Multiprofile Processing Company (MPC). In November and December 2012, the Investigating Committee interrogated and questioned Yves Rocher Vostok. On 10 December, Bruno Leproux, general director of Yves Rocher Vostok, filed to the Investigative Committee, asking to investigate if the Glavpodpiska subscription company had damaged Yves Rocher Vostok, and the Investigative Committee initiated a case.[211]

The prosecution claimed Glavpodpiska embezzled money by taking duties and then redistributing them to other companies for lesser amounts of money, and collecting the surplus: 26.7 million rubles ($540,000) from Yves Rocher Vostok, and 4.4 million rubles from the MPC. The funds were claimed to be subsequently legalised by transferring them on fictitious grounds from a fly-by-night company to Kobyakovskaya Fabrika Po Lozopleteniyu, a willow weaving company founded by Navalny and operated by his parents.[212][213][214] The Navalnys denied the charges. The Navalny brothers' lawyers claimed the investigators "added phrases like 'bearing criminal intentions' to a description of regular entrepreneurial activity". According to Oleg Navalny's lawyer, Glavpodpiska did not just collect money, it controlled provision of means of transport, execution of orders, collected and expedited production to the carriers, and was responsible before clients for terms and quality of executing orders.[211]

Yves Rocher denied that they had any losses, as did the rest of the witnesses, except the Multiprofile Processing Company CEO Sergei Shustov, who said he had learned about his losses from an investigator and believed him, without making audits. Both brothers and their lawyers claimed Alexei Navalny did not participate in the Glavpodpiska operations, and witnesses all stated they had never encountered Alexei Navalny in person before the trial.[211]

Home arrest and limitations

Following the imputed violation of travel restrictions, Navalny was placed under house arrest and prohibited from communicating with anyone other than his family, lawyers, and investigators on 28 February 2014.[15][215] Navalny claimed the arrest was politically motivated, and he filed a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights. On 7 July, he declared the complaint had been accepted and given priority; the court compelled the Government of Russia to provide answers to a questionnaire.[216]

The home arrest, in particular, prohibited usage of the internet; however, new posts were released under his social media accounts after the arrest was announced. A 5 March post claimed the accounts were controlled by his Anti-Corruption Foundation teammates and his wife Yulia. On 13 March, his LiveJournal blog was blocked in Russia, because, according to the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology, and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor), "functioning of the given web page breaks the regulation of the juridical decision of the bail hearing of a citizen against whom a criminal case has been initiated".[217]

The home arrest was eased a number of times: On 21 August, Navalny was allowed to communicate with his co-defendants;[218] a journalist present in the courthouse at the moment confirmed Navalny was allowed to communicate with "anyone but the Yves Rocher case witnesses".[219] On 10 October, his right to communicate with the press was confirmed by another court, and he was allowed to make comments on the case in media (Navalny's plea not to prolong the arrest was, however, rejected).[220] On 19 December, he was allowed to mail correspondence to authorities and international courts. Navalny again pleaded not to prolong the arrest, but the plea was rejected again.[221]

Conviction

The verdict was announced on 30 December 2014. Both brothers were found guilty of fraud against MPK and Yves Rocher Vostok and money laundering, and were convicted under Articles 159.4 §§ 2 and 3 and 174.1 § 2 (a) and (b) of the Criminal Code.[222] Alexei Navalny was given 312 years of suspended sentence, and Oleg Navalny was sentenced to 312 years in prison and was arrested after the verdict was announced;[223] both had to pay a fine of 500,000 rubles and a compensation to the Multiprofile Processing Company (MPK) of over 4 million rubles.[224] In the evening, several thousand protesters gathered in the center of Moscow. Navalny broke his home arrest to attend the rally and was immediately arrested by the police and brought back home.[225]

Both brothers filed complaints to the European Court of Human Rights: Oleg's was communicated and given priority; Alexei's was reviewed in the context of the previous complaint related to this case and the Government of Russia had been "invited to submit further observations".[226] The second instance within the country confirmed the verdict, only releasing Alexei from the responsibility to pay his fine. Both prosecutors and defendants were not satisfied with this decision.[224]

ECHR

On 17 October 2017, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Navalny's conviction for fraud and money laundering "was based on an unforeseeable application of criminal law and that the proceedings were arbitrary and unfair." The Court found that the domestic court's decisions had been arbitrary and manifestly unreasonable. ECHR found the Russian courts' decisions violated articles 6 and 7 of the European Convention on Human Rights.[227][228] On 15 November 2018, the Grand Chamber upheld the decision.[229]

Indemnification

After the Yves Rocher case, Navalny had to pay a compensation of 4.4 million rubles. He declared the case was "a frame up", but he added he would pay the sum as this could affect granting his brother's parole.[230] On 7 October 2015, Alexei's lawyer announced the defendant willingly paid 2.9 million and requested an installment plan for the rest of the sum.[231] The request was granted, except the term was contracted from the requested five months to two,[232] and a part of the sum declared paid (900,000 rubles; arrested from Navalny's banking account) was not yet received by the police; the prosecutors declared that may happen because of inter-process delays.[233]

Later that month, Kirovles sued Navalny for the 16.1 million rubles' declared pecuniary injury; Navalny declared he had not expected the suit, as Kirovles did not initiate it during the 2012–2013 trial.[234] On 23 October, a court resolved the said sum should be paid by the three defendants.[234] The court denied the defendants' motion 14.7 million had already been paid by that point; the verdict and the payment sum were justified by a ruling by a Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.[235] Navalny declared he could not cover the requested sum; he called the suit a "drain-dry strategy" by authorities.[234]

Other cases

In late December 2012, the Investigative Committee of Russia asserted that Allekt, an advertising company headed by Navalny, defrauded the Union of Right Forces (SPS) political party in 2007 by taking 100 million rubles ($3.2 million) payment for advertising and failing to honor its contract. If charged and convicted, Navalny could be jailed for up to 10 years. Leonid Gozman, a former SPS official, was quoted as saying: "Nothing of the sort happened—he committed no robbery". Earlier in December, as reported by the BBC, "the Investigative Committee charged ... Navalny and his brother Oleg with embezzling 55 million rubles ($1.76 million) in 2008–2011 while working in a postal business." Navalny, who denied the allegations in the two previous cases, sought to laugh off news of the third inquiry with a tweet stating "Fiddlesticks".[9] In April 2020, Yandex search engine started artificially placing negative commentary about Navalny on the top positions in its search results for his name.[236] Yandex declared this was part of an "experiment" and returned to presenting organic search results.[237][238][239]

Navalny alleged that Russian billionaire and businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin was linked to a company called Moskovsky Shkolnik (Moscow schoolboy) that had supplied poor quality food to schools which had caused a dysentery outbreak.[240][241] In April 2019, Moskovsky Shkolnik filed a lawsuit against Navalny. In October 2019, the Moscow Arbitration Court ordered Navalny to pay 29.2 million rubles. Navalny said that "Cases of dysentery were proven using documents. But it's us that has to pay."[242] By April 2019, Navalny had won six complaints against Russian authorities in the ECHR for a total of €225,000.[243] Prigozhin was quoted by the press service of his catering company Concord Management and Consulting on 25 August 2020 as saying that he intended to enforce a court decision that required Navalny, his associate Lyubov Sobol and his Anti-Corruption Foundation to pay 88 million rubles in damages to the Moskovsky Shkolnik company over a video investigation.[244]


Poisoning and recovery

On 20 August 2020, Navalny fell ill during a flight from Tomsk to Moscow and was hospitalised in the Emergency City Clinical Hospital No. 1 in Omsk (Городская клиническая больница скорой медицинской помощи №1), where the plane had made an emergency landing. The change in his condition on the plane was sudden and violent, and video footage showed crewmembers on the flight scurrying towards him as he screamed loudly.[245] Later, he said that he was not screaming from pain, but from the knowledge that he was dying.[246]

Navalny's spokeswoman, Kira Yarmysh, later said that he was in a coma and on a ventilator in the Omsk hospital. She also said that since he arose that morning, Navalny had consumed nothing but a cup of tea, acquired at the airport. It was initially suspected that something was mixed into his drink, and physicians stated that a "toxin mixed into a hot drink would be rapidly absorbed". The hospital said that he was in a stable but serious condition. Although staff initially acknowledged that Navalny had probably been poisoned, after numerous police personnel appeared outside Navalny's room, the medical staff was less forthcoming. The Omsk hospital's deputy chief physician later told reporters that poisoning was "one scenario among many" being considered.[245]

A plane was sent from Germany to evacuate Navalny from Russia for treatment at the Charité Hospital in Berlin. Although the doctors treating him in Omsk initially declared he was too sick to be transported,[247] they later released him.[248][249] On 24 August, the doctors in Germany made an announcement, confirming that Navalny had been poisoned with a cholinesterase inhibitor.[250]

Ivan Zhdanov, chief of Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation, said that Navalny could have been poisoned because of one of the foundation's investigations.[240] On 2 September, the German government announced that Navalny was poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent, from the same family of nerve agents that was used to poison Sergei Skripal and his daughter. International officials said that they had obtained "unequivocal proof" from toxicology tests, and have called on the Russian government for an explanation.[251][252][253] On 7 September, German doctors announced that he was out of the coma.[254] On 15 September, Navalny's spokeswoman said that Navalny would return to Russia.[255]

On 17 September, Navalny's team said that traces of the nerve agent used to poison Navalny was detected on an empty water bottle from his hotel room in Tomsk, suggesting that he was possibly poisoned before leaving the hotel.[256] On 23 September, Navalny was discharged from hospital after his condition had sufficiently improved.[257] On 6 October, OPCW confirmed presence of cholinesterase inhibitor from the Novichok group in Navalny's blood and urine samples.[258][259][260]

On 14 December, a joint investigation by The Insider and Bellingcat in co-operation with CNN and Der Spiegel was published, which implicated agents from Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) in Navalny's poisoning. The investigation detailed a special unit of the FSB, which specialises in chemical substances, and the investigators then tracked members of the unit, using telecom and travel data. According to the investigation, Navalny was under surveillance by a group of operatives from the unit for 3 years and there may have been earlier attempts to poison Navalny.[261][262][263][264] In an interview with Spanish newspaper El País, Navalny said that "It is difficult for me to understand exactly what is going on in [Putin's] mind. ... 20 years of power would spoil anyone and make them crazy. He thinks he can do whatever he wants."[265]

On 21 December 2020, Navalny released a video showing him impersonating a Russian security official and speaking over the phone with a man identified by some investigative news media as a chemical weapons expert named Konstantin Kudryavtsev. During the call, he revealed that the poison had been placed on Navalny's clothing, particularly in his underwear, and that Navalny would have died if not for the plane's emergency landing and quick response from an ambulance crew on the runway.[266]

In January 2021, Bellingcat, The Insider and Der Spiegel linked the unit that tracked Navalny to other deaths, including activists Timur Kuashev in 2014 and Ruslan Magomedragimov in 2015, and politician Nikita Isayev in 2019.[267] In February, another joint investigation found that Russian opposition politician Vladimir Kara-Murza was followed by the same unit before his suspected poisonings.[268]

The European Union, United Kingdom and United States responded to the poisoning by imposing sanctions on senior Russian officials.[269][270][271][272]

Imprisonment

Imprisonment related to Yves Rocher case

Approximate aircraft route of flight DP936 taken by Alexei Navalny, on 17 January 2021, showing its deviation

On 17 January 2021, Navalny returned to Russia by plane from Germany, arriving at Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow after the flight was diverted from Vnukovo Airport. At passport control, he was detained. The Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) confirmed his detention and said that he would remain in custody until the court hearing.[273] Prior to his return, the FSIN had said that Navalny might face jail time upon his arrival in Moscow for violating the terms of his probation by leaving Russia, saying it would be "obliged" to detain him once he returned;[274] in 2014, Navalny received a suspended sentence in the Yves Rocher case, which he called politically motivated and in 2017, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Navalny was unfairly convicted.[275][276] Amnesty International declared Navalny to be a prisoner of conscience and called on the Russian authorities to release him.[277]

A court decision on 18 January 2021 ordered the detention of Navalny until 15 February for violating his parole. A makeshift court was set up in the police station where Navalny was being held. Another hearing would later be held to determine whether his suspended sentence should be replaced with a jail term.[278] Navalny described the procedure as "ultimate lawlessness" and called on his supporters to take to the streets.[279] The next day, while in jail, an investigation by Navalny and the FBK was published accusing President Vladimir Putin of corruption.[280] The investigation and his arrest led to mass protests across Russia beginning on 23 January 2021.[281][282]

Protest in support of Navalny in St. Petersburg, 23 January 2021

A Moscow court on 2 February 2021 replaced Navalny's three and a half-year suspended sentence with a prison sentence, minus the amount of time he spent under house arrest, meaning he would spend over two and half years in a corrective labour colony.[283][284] The verdict was condemned by the governments of the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France and others as well as the EU.[23][285][286][287][288][289] Immediately after the verdict was announced, protests in a number of Russian cities were held and met with a harsh police crackdown.[290] Navalny later returned to court for a trial on slander charges, where he was accused of defaming a World War II veteran who took part in a promotional video backing the constitutional amendments last year. The case was launched in June 2020 after Navalny called those who took part in the video "corrupt lackeys" and "traitors". Navalny called the case politically motivated and accused authorities of using the case to smear his reputation. Although the charge is punishable by up to two years in prison if proven, his lawyer said that Navalny cannot face a custodial sentence because the law was changed to make it a jailable offence after the alleged crime had taken place.[291][292]

The European Court of Human Rights ruled on 16 February 2021 that the Russian government should release Navalny immediately, with the court saying that the resolution was made in "regard to the nature and extent of risk to the applicant's life". Navalny's lawyers had applied to the court for an "interim measure" for his release on 20 January 2021 after his detention. However Russian officials indicated that they would not comply with the decision. Justice Minister Konstantin Chuychenko called the measure a "flagrant intervention in the operation of a judicial system of a sovereign state" as well as "unreasonable and unlawful", claiming that it did not "contain any reference to any fact or any norm of the law, which would have allowed the court to take this decision". In December 2020, a series of laws were also passed and signed that gave the constitution precedence over rulings made by international bodies as well international treaties.[293][294][295][296] A few days later, a Moscow court rejected Navalny's appeal and upheld his prison sentence, however it reduced his sentence by six weeks after deciding to count his time under house arrest as part of his time served. Another court convicted Navalny on slander charges against the World War II veteran, fining him 850,000 rubles ($11,500).[297]

Protest in support of Navalny in Moscow, 21 April 2021

In February 2021, Amnesty International stripped Navalny of "prisoner of conscience" status, due to lobbying about videos and pro-nationalist statements he made in the past that allegedly constitute hate speech.[298][299][300][301] The designation was reinstated in May 2021: Amnesty international stated that the withdrawal of the "prisoner of conscience" designation had been used as a pretext by the Government of the Russian Federation to further violate Navalny's human rights.[302]

A resolution by the ECHR called for his release.[303]

Navalny was reported on 28 February 2021 to have recently arrived at the Pokrov correctional colony in Vladimir Oblast, a prison where Dmitry Demushkin and Konstantin Kotov were also jailed.[304][305][306] In early March 2021, the European Union and United States imposed sanctions on senior Russian officials in response to Navalny's poisoning and imprisonment.[272]

In March 2021, Navalny in a formal complaint accused authorities of torture by depriving him of sleep, where authorities consider him a flight risk. Navalny told lawyers that guards wake him up eight times a night announcing to a camera that he was in his prison cell. A lawyer of Navalny said that he was suffering from health problems, including a loss of sensation in his spine and legs, and that prison authorities denied Navalny's requests for a civilian physician, claiming his health was "satisfactory".[307][308] On 31 March 2021, Navalny announced a hunger strike to demand proper medical treatment.[309] On 6 April 2021, six doctors, including Navalny's personal physician, Anastasia Vasilyeva, and two CNN correspondents, were arrested outside the prison when they attempted to visit Navalny whose health significantly deteriorated.[310][311] On 7 April 2021, Navalny's attorneys claimed he had suffered two spinal disc herniations and had lost feeling in his hands, prompting criticism from the U.S. government.[312][313] Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International accused Vladimir Putin of slowly killing Alexei Navalny through torture and inhumane treatment in prison.[314][315] He also complained that he was not allowed to read newspapers or have any books including a copy of the Quran that he planned to study.[316]

On 17 April 2021, it was reported that Navalny was in immediate need of medical attention. Navalny's personal doctor Anastasia Vasilyeva and three other doctors, including cardiologist Yaroslav Ashikhmin, asked prison officials to grant them immediate access, stating on social media that "our patient can die any minute", due to an increased risk of a fatal cardiac arrest or kidney failure "at any moment".[317][318] Test results obtained by Navalny's lawyers showed heightened levels of potassium in the blood, which can bring on cardiac arrest, and sharply elevated creatinine levels, indicating impaired kidneys. Navalny's results showed blood potassium levels of 7.1 mmol (millimoles) per liter; blood potassium levels higher than 6.0 mmol per liter usually require immediate treatment.[319][320] Later that night, an open letter, addressed to Putin and open for Russian citizens to sign, was signed and published by 11 politicians representing several regional parliaments, demanding an independent doctor be allowed to visit Navalny, and for a review and cancellation of all of his criminal cases. "We regard what is happening in relation to Navalny as an attempt on the life of a politician, committed out of personal and political hatred," said the letter, "You, the President of the Russian Federation, personally bear responsibility for the life of Alexey Navalny on the territory of the Russian Federation, including in prison facilities – [you bear this responsibility] to Navalny himself, to his relatives, and to the whole world."[321] Among the signatories were chairman of the Pskov Oblast branch of the Yabloko party, the deputy of the regional assembly Lev Schlossberg, the deputy from Karelia, the ex-chairman of Yabloko Emilia Slabunova, and the deputy of the Moscow City Duma Yevgeny Stupin.[322]

The following day, his daughter called on Russian prison authorities to let her father be checked by doctors in a tweet[323] written from Stanford University, where she is a student. Prominent celebrities such as J.K. Rowling and Jude Law also addressed a letter[324] to Russian authorities asking to provide Navalny with proper medical treatment.[325][326] U.S. president Joe Biden called his treatment "totally unfair" and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that the Kremlin had been warned "that there will be consequences if Mr. Navalny dies."[327] The European Union's head diplomat Josep Borrell stated that the organisation held the Russian government accountable for Navalny's health conditions. The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, also expressed her concern for his health.[328] However, Russian authorities rebuked such concerns by foreign countries. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that Russian prison officials are monitoring Navalny's health, not the president.[329]

On 19 April 2021, Navalny was moved from prison to a hospital for convicts, according to the Russian prison service,[330][328] for "vitamin therapy".[329] On 23 April 2021, Navalny announced that he was ending his hunger strike on advice of his doctors and as he felt his demands had been partially met.[331][332] اعتبارا من June 2021, his newspapers were still being censored as articles were cut out.[333]

Designation as extremist

On 16 April 2021, the Moscow prosecutor office requested the Moscow City Court to designate organisations linked to Navalny including the FBK and his headquarters as extremist organisations, claiming: "Under the disguise of liberal slogans, these organisations are engaged in creating conditions for the destabilisation of the social and socio-political situation."[334] In response, Navalny aide Leonid Volkov stated: "Putin has just announced full-scale mass political repression in Russia."[335]

On 26 April 2021, Moscow's prosecutor office ordered Navalny's network of regional offices, including those of the FBK, to cease its activities, pending a court ruling on whether to designate them as extremist organisations. Volkov explained that it will limit many of the group's activities as prosecutors seek to label the Foundation as "extremists".[336][337] The move was condemned by Germany as well as Amnesty International, which, in a statement, said: "The objective is clear: to raze Alexei Navalny's movement to the ground while he languishes in prison."[338] On 29 April 2021, Navalny's team announced that the political network would be dissolved, in advance of a court ruling in May expected to designate it as extremist.[339] According to Volkov, the headquarters would be transformed into independent political organisations "which will deal with investigations and elections, public campaigns and rallies".[340] On the same day, his allies said that a new criminal case had been opened against Navalny, for allegedly setting up a non-profit organisation that infringed on the rights of citizens.[341] The next day, the leader of Team 29, Ivan Pavlov, who also represents Navalny's team in the extremism case, was detained in Moscow.[342] On 30 April, the financial monitoring agency added Navalny's regional campaign offices to a list of "terrorists and extremists."[343] On 20 May, the head of the Russian prison system and Navalny's ally Ivan Zhdanov reported that Navalny had "more or less" recovered and that his health was generally satisfactory.[344] On 7 June, Navalny was returned to prison after fully recovering from the effects of the hunger strike.[345]

On 9 June 2021, Navalny's political network, including his headquarters and the FBK, were designated as extremist organisations and liquidated by the Moscow City Court.[346][347] Vyacheslav Polyga, judge of Moscow City Court, upheld the administrative claim of the prosecutor of Moscow city Denis Popov and, rejecting all the petitions of the defense, decided[348] to recognise Anti-Corruption Foundation as extremist organisation, to liquidate it and to confiscate its assets; similar decision had been taken against Citizens' Rights Protection Foundation; the activity of the Alexei Navalny staff was prohibited (case No.3а-1573/2021).[349] Case hearing was held in camera because, as indicated by advocate Ilia Novikov, the case file including the text of the administrative claim was classified as state secret.[350] According to advocate Ivan Pavlov, Navalny was not the party to the proceedings and the judge refused to give him such status; at the hearing, the prosecutor stated that defendants are extremist organisations because they want the change of power in Russia and they promised to help participants of the protest with payment of administrative and criminal fines and with making a complaints to the European Court of Human Rights.[351] On 4 August 2021, First Appellate Ordinary Court in Moscow upheld the decision of the court of first instance (case No.66а-3553/2021) and this decision entered into force that day.[352] On 28 December 2021, it was reported that Anti-Corruption Foundation, Citizens' Rights Protection Foundation and 18 natural persons including Alexei Navalny filed a cassation appeals to the Second Cassation Ordinary Court.[353] On 25 March 2022, the Second Cassation Ordinary Court rejected all cassation appeals and upheld the judgements of lower courts (case No.8а-5101/2022).[354]

In October 2021, Navalny said that the Russian prison commission designated him as a "terrorist" and "extremist", but that he was no longer regarded as a flight risk.[355] In January 2022, Russia added him and his aides to the "terrorists and extremists" list.[356][357] On 28 June 2022, Navalny lost his appeal on being designated as "extremist" and "terrorist".[358]

Later charges

In February 2022, Alexei Navalny faced an additional 10 to 15 years in prison in a new trial on fraud and contempt of court charges.[359][360] The charges alleged that he stole $4.7m (£3.5m) of donations given to his political organisations and insulted a judge.[361][360] He was tried in a makeshift courtroom in the corrective colony at which he was imprisoned.[362] Amnesty International independently analysed the trial materials calling the charges "arbitrary" and "politically motivated".[363]

On 21 February 2022, prosecution witness Fyodor Gorozhanko refused to testify against Navalny in the trial, stating that investigators had "pressured" him to testify to the information they wanted and that he did not believe Navalny had committed any crimes.[364] On 24 February, during his trial, Navalny condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began that day and asked the court to include his statement to the trial's protocol. He said that it would "lead to a huge number of victims, destroyed futures, and the continuation of this line of impoverishment of the citizens of Russia." He called the war a distraction to the population to "divert their attention from problems that exist inside the country".[365]

On 22 March 2022, Navalny was found guilty of contempt of court and embezzlement and given a 9-year sentence in a maximum-security prison; he was also ordered to pay a fine of 1.2 million rubles (approx. $13,000).[366] Amnesty International described the trial as a "sham".[24]

On 17 May 2022, Navalny opened an appeal process against the sentence; the court said the process would resume on 24 May after Navalny requested to postpone the hearing to have a family meeting before being transferred.[367] On 24 May, the Moscow City Court upheld the judgement of the court of first instance.[368]

On 31 May 2022, Navalny said that he was officially notified about new charges of extremism brought against him, in which he was facing up to an additional 15 years in prison.[369]

In mid-June 2022, Navalny was transferred to the maximum security prison IK-6 in Melekhovo, Vladimir Oblast.[370][371]

On 11 July 2022, Navalny announced the relaunch of his Anti-Corruption Foundation as an international organization with an advisory board including his wife Yulia Navalnaya, Guy Verhofstadt, Anne Applebaum, and Francis Fukuyama; Navalny also stated that the first contribution to Anti-Corruption Foundation International would be the Sakharov Prize ($50,000) that was awarded to him.[372]

On 7 September 2022, Navalny said that he had been placed in solitary confinement for the fourth time in just over a month, after just being released. He linked his recent treatment to his attempts to establish a labour union in his penal colony and his "6000" list of individuals he has called to be sanctioned.[373] The next day, he said that his attorney-client privilege was revoked with prison authorities accusing him of continuing to commit crimes from prison.[374]

On 4 October 2022, allies of Navalny said they were relaunching his regional political network to fight the mobilization and war.[375]

On 17 November 2022, Navalny stated that he was now in permanent solitary confinement. Infractions besides the attempt to start a labour union among the prisoners were that he did not button his collar, did not clean the prison yard well enough, and that he addressed a prison official by his military rank rather than his patronymic.[376]

On 10 January 2023, over 400 doctors in Russia signed an open letter to president Putin demanding that prison authorities "stop abusing" Navalny, after it became known that he fell ill with flu in solitary confinement and his lawyers were not allowed to give him basic medication.[377] Less than a month later, Navalny was transferred to an isolated punishment cell, a stricter form of imprisonment reserved for those who violate prison rules, for the maximum term of six months.[378][379]

On 4 August 2023, Navalny was sentenced to an additional 19 years in a "special regime" colony on charges including publicly inciting extremist activity, financing extremist activity, and "rehabilitating Nazi ideology"; the Moscow City Court found him guilty on all charges in a closed-doors trial.[380] In a social media post published the previous day, Navalny stated that he had expected to be given a "Stalinist" sentence and called on supporters to fight against corruption.[381] According to his lawyers, following his latest sentencing, Navalny will be released in December 2038.[28]

On 13 October 2023, three of his lawyers, Vadim Kobzev, Igor Sergunin and Alexei Liptser, were detained on charges about participating in an "extremist group". Navalny commented that "Just like in Soviet times, not only political activists are being prosecuted and turned into political prisoners, but their lawyers, too".[382]

In IK-3 "special regime" colony

On 11 December 2023, Navalny's aides revealed that they had not had any contact with Navalny for six days. According to their statements, he was removed from the penal colony where he had been imprisoned and his current whereabouts are not known. The disappearance came after Navalny was sentenced to an additional 19 years in August and the beginning of campaigning for the 2024 Russian presidential election, which Putin recently announced his candidacy for. Navalny's aides had been preparing for his transfer to a "special regime" colony (the harshest grade in Russia's prison system).[383] His last known whereabouts was the IK-6 prison camp in Vladimir Oblast, where on 15 December staff commented that Navalny had left the facility and was being moved to a different prison.[384][385] On 25 December 2023 he was discovered to be in the IK-3 "special regime" colony, known as "Polar Wolf", in Kharp in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.[30][386][387] He remained there until his death on 16 February 2024. [388][389]

Political prisoner status

Human Rights Centre Memorial recognised Navalny as a political prisoner in 2021.[390][391] PACE also considered Navalny a political prisoner.[392]

Death

Demonstration after death of Navalny in Bremen, Germany

On 16 February 2024, the Federal Penitentiary Service announced that Navalny had died in prison in Yamalo-Nenets, after taking a walk and feeling unwell that morning. The prison statement stated: "All necessary resuscitation measures were carried out but did not yield positive results... The paramedics confirmed the death of the convict."[389][393] Kira Yarmysh, Navalny's spokeswoman, confirmed his death the following day, and demanded his body to be returned to his family.[394] Prior to his death, Navalny had been treated in hospital after complaining of malnourishment and other ailments due to mistreatment in the prison.[395]

Reception

Political activities

Navalny, his wife Yulia and Russian opposition politician Ilya Yashin, 12 June 2013

In October 2010, Navalny was the winner of an online poll for the mayor of Moscow, held by Kommersant and Gazeta.Ru.[396][397] He received about 30,000 votes, or 45%, with the closest rival being "Against all candidates" with some 9,000 votes (14%), followed by former First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Boris Nemtsov with 8,000 votes (12%) out of a total of about 67,000 votes.[398]

The reaction to Navalny's actual mayoral election result in 2013, where he came second, was mixed: Nezavisimaya Gazeta declared, "The voting campaign turned a blogger into a politician",[110] and following an October 2013 Levada Center poll that showed Navalny made it to the list of potential presidential candidates among Russians, receiving a rating of 5%, Konstantin Kalachev, the leader of the Political Expert Group, declared 5% was not the limit for Navalny, and unless something extraordinary happened, he could become "a pretender for a second place in the presidential race".[399] On the other hand, The Washington Post published a column by Milan Svolik that stated the election was fair so the Sobyanin could show a clean victory, demoralising the opposition, which could otherwise run for street protests.[400] Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov stated on 12 September, "His momentary result cannot testify his political equipment and does not speak of him as of a serious politician".[401]

When referring to Navalny, Putin never actually pronounced his name in public, referring to him as a "mister" or the like;[402][401] Julia Ioffe took it for a sign of weakness before the opposition politician,[403] and Peskov later stated Putin never pronounced his name in order not to "give [Navalny] a part of his popularity".[404] In July 2015, Bloomberg's sources "familiar with the matter" declared there was an informal prohibition from the Kremlin for senior Russian officials from mentioning Navalny's name.[405] Peskov rejected the assumption there is such a ban; however, in doing so, he did not mention Navalny's name either.[406]

Ratings

Rally concert in support of Navalny, 6 September 2013

In a 2013 Levada Center poll, Navalny's recognition among the Russian population stood at 37%.[407] Out of those who were able to recognise Navalny, 14% would either "definitely" or "probably" support his presidential run.[408]

The Levada Center also conducted another survey, which was released on 6 April 2017, showing Navalny's recognition among the Russian population at 55%.[409] Out of those who recognised Navalny, 4% would "definitely" vote for him and 14% would "probably" vote for him in the presidential election.[409] In another poll carried out by the same pollster in August 2020, 4% of respondents said that they trusted Navalny the most (out of a list of politicians), an increase from 2% in the previous month.[410]

According to polls conducted by the Levada Center in September 2020, 20% of Russians approved of Navalny's activities, 50% disapproved, and 18% had never heard of him.[411] Out of those who were able to recognise Navalny, 10% said that they have "respect" for him, 8% had sympathy and 15% "could not say anything bad" about him. 31% were "neutral" towards him, 14% "could not say anything good" about him and 10% disliked him.[412][411]

Criminal cases

During and after the Kirovles trial, a number of prominent people expressed support to Navalny and/or condemned the trial. The last Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev called it "proof that we do not have independent courts".[413] Former Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin stated that it was "looking less like a punishment than an attempt to isolate him from social life and the electoral process".[414] It was also criticised by novelist Boris Akunin,[415] and jailed Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who called it similar to the treatment of political opponents during the Soviet era.[414]

Vladimir Zhirinovsky, leader of the nationalist LDPR, called the verdict "a direct warning to our 'fifth column'", and added, "This will be the fate of everyone who is connected with the West and works against Russia".[414] A variety of state officials condemned the verdict. United States Department of State Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf stated that the United States was "very disappointed by the conviction and sentencing of opposition leader Aleksey Navalniy".[416] The spokesperson for European Union High Representative Catherine Ashton said that the outcome of the trial "raises serious questions as to the state of the rule of law in Russia".[414][417] Andreas Schockenhoff, Germany's Commissioner for German-Russian Coordination, stated, "For us, it's further proof of authoritarian policy in Russia, which doesn't allow diversity and pluralism".[418] The New York Times commented in response to the verdict that "President Vladimir Putin of Russia actually seems weak and insecure".[413]

The verdict in the case of Yves Rocher caused similar reactions. According to Alexei Venediktov, the verdict was "unfair", Oleg Navalny was taken "hostage", while Alexei was not jailed to avoid "furious reaction" from Putin, which was caused by the change of measure of restraint after the Kirovles trial.[419] A number of deputies appointed by United Russia and LDPR found the verdict too mild.[420] Experts interviewed by the BBC Russian Service expressed reactions close to the political positions their organisations generally stand on.[421] The spokesperson for EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini stated the same day that the sentence was likely to be politically motivated.[225]

Public opinion varied over time. According to Levada Center, 20% of people thought the Kirovles case had been caused by an actual violation of law, while 54% agreed the rationale beyond the case was his anti-corruption activity in May 2011. In May 2013, the shares of people who held these opinions were 28% and 47%, respectively. In September 2013, the shares were 35% and 45%. The organisation suggested this had been caused by corresponding coverage in media.[422] By September 2014, the percentages had undergone further changes, and equaled 37% and 38%.[423] The center also stated the share of those who found the result of another criminal case against him was unfair and Navalny was not guilty dropped from 13% in July 2013 to 5% in January 2015, and the number of those who found the verdict was too tough also fell from 17% to 9%. The share of those who found the verdict to be either fair or too mild was 26% in July 2013, and has exceeded 35% since September 2013.[423]

Political positions

Navalny initially held Russian nationalist and anti-immigration views, though was seen to have become more moderate over time, with him leaving behind his nationalist past and supposedly changing views on immigration to Russia.[195]

Navalny takes part in a march in memory of assassinated opposition politician Boris Nemtsov in Moscow, 29 February 2020.

Corruption

A poster that won the Navalny contest entitled United Russia, a "party of crooks and thieves", 2011

In February 2011, in an interview with the radio station finam.fm, Navalny called the main Russian party, United Russia, a "party of crooks and thieves".[8] In May 2011, the Russian government began a criminal investigation into Navalny, widely described in media as "revenge", and by Navalny himself as "a fabrication by the security services".[8][424][425] Meanwhile, "party of crooks and thieves" became a popular slogan among the opposition.[426]

Nationalism

His views about Russian nationalism have evolved. In 2011, Navalny stated that he considered himself a "nationalist democrat".[427][428] He previously participated in the "Russian march" from 2006, a parade uniting Russian nationalist groups of all stripes,[429][430][431] and was one of the co-organisers of the 2011 march.[432][433][430] Navalny has also called for ending federal subsidies to the "corrupt" and "ineffective" governments of Chechnya and other republics part of the North Caucasus.[429][434][435]

Immigration

In 2007, he released several anti-immigration videos,[436][437][438][439] including one where he advocated the deportation of migrants.[440] According to Leonid Volkov, Navalny later regretted making the 2007 video.[441] In 2013, after ethnic riots in a Moscow district took place, which were sparked by a murder committed by a migrant, Navalny sympathised with the anti-immigration movement and commented that ethnic tensions and crimes are inevitable because of failing immigration policies by the state.[442][443] However, he later said that "The basis of my approach is that you have to communicate with nationalists and educate them... I think it's very important to explain to them that the problem of illegal immigration is not solved by beating up migrants but by other, democratic means".[444]

In a 2017 interview, Navalny declared support for regulated immigration from Central Asia, but did not see it as valuable.[445] In a 2020 interview, he reiterated support for regulated immigration.[446]

In 2021, Alexander Verkhovskiy said that Navalny's statements on immigration were 'a long time ago' and that he was a 'different man'.[195]

Same-sex marriage

In 2017, Leonid Volkov, Navalny's chief of staff, said that Navalny's team supports the legalisation of same-sex marriage.[447]

Foreign policy

His views on foreign policy evolved over time.[441] Previously, Navalny was described as "shar[ing] the establishment view that Russia is entitled to a say in the domestic affairs of its post-Soviet neighbors", and supported the expansion of the Eurasian Economic Union. He also called on Russia to recognise and militarily support Abkhazia and South Ossetia in 2008, following the Russo-Georgian War.[448] He later apologized for his comments about Georgia.[441]

In June 2020, he spoke out in support of the Black Lives Matter protests against racism.[449][450]

Syria

In 2016, Navalny spoke against the Russian intervention in the Syrian civil war, believing that there are internal problems in Russia that need to be dealt with rather than to get involved in foreign wars.[451]

Ukraine

In early 2012, Navalny stated on Ukrainian TV, "Russian foreign policy should be maximally directed at integration with Ukraine and Belarus ... In fact, we are one nation. We should enhance integration". During the same broadcast Navalny said "No one wants to make an attempt to limit Ukraine's sovereignty".[452][453]

In March 2014, after Russia's annexation of Crimea, Navalny urged further sanctions against officials and businessmen linked to Putin and proposed his own list of sanctions, saying that previous US and EU sanctions were "mocked".[454] In October 2014, Navalny said that he would not immediately return Crimea to Ukraine if he were President, as it is not "some sort of sausage sandwich to be passed back and forth", suggesting instead that the fate of Crimea should be resolved by holding a new and fair referendum.[455] Navalny also said that Putin's government should stop "sponsoring the war" in Donbas.[455] Navalny has strongly criticised Vladimir Putin's policies in Ukraine: "Putin likes to speak about the 'Russian world' but he is actually making it smaller. In Belarus, they sing anti-Putin songs at football stadiums; in Ukraine they simply hate us. In Ukraine now, there are no politicians who do not have extreme anti-Russian positions. Being anti-Russian is the key to success now in Ukraine, and that is our fault".[456]

In 2018, after the establishment of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, an event labelled as the ending of more than three centuries of Russian spiritual and temporal control of the dominant faith in Ukraine, Navalny tweeted: "What took centuries to create has been destroyed by Putin and his idiots in four years ... Putin is the enemy of the Russian World."[457][458]

In February 2022, Navalny compared the recognition of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic by Russia to when Soviet leaders deployed troops to Afghanistan in 1979, describing both events as a distraction to the population from real issues. He said that he believes that while Putin will not allow Ukraine to develop, Russia will pay the same price, and that Putin needed to be removed to save Russia.[459]

On 2 March 2022, Navalny urged Russian citizens to stage daily protests against Russia's invasion of Ukraine, saying Russia should not be a "nation of frightened people" and "cowards who pretend not to notice the aggressive war" launched by "our insane tsar".[460][461][462]

If, to prevent war, we need to fill up the jails and police vans, we will fill up the jails and police vans. Everything has a price and now, in the spring of 2022, we should pay that price.

— Alexei Navalny

On 5 April 2022, referring to war crimes that took place in Ukraine, Navalny said the "monstrosity of lies" in the Russian state media "is unimaginable. And, unfortunately, so is its persuasiveness for those who have no access to alternative information."[463] He tweeted that "warmongers" among Russian state media personalities "should be treated as war criminals. From the editors-in-chief to the talk show hosts to the news editors, [they] should be sanctioned now and tried someday."[464] The next month, Navalny called the invasion a "stupid war" based on lies.[465]

Navalny criticised the 2022 Russian mobilisation.[466] During a court hearing on 21 September, he said: "I don't understand one thing. The army has a million people, Rosgvardia has 350,000 people, the Interior Ministry has another million and a half or two million people, and the Federal Penitentiary Service is full of people. Why are they drafting civilians?"[467] In another court hearing two days later, Navalny said: "You won't shut my mouth with your ShIZO [punishment cell]. This is a crime against my country. I don't relate to it, and I won't be silent. I hope that everyone else who hears me will not be silent about it. Because what's happening now is much more terrible than any 12 or 112 days in a ShIZO [punishment cell]. This is a historic crime, this is involving hundreds of thousands of people in this crime".[468][469]

On 20 February 2023, he condemned Putin for "destroying" Russia's own future "just to make our country look bigger on the map" and said that Russia must end its occupation of Ukraine and recognise Ukraine's borders as they were established in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Navalny also said Russia would have to pay post-war reparations to Ukraine and called for an international investigation into war crimes, saying: "Tens of thousands of innocent Ukrainians have been murdered and pain and suffering have befallen millions more."[470]

On 1 February 2024, Navalny and his allies called on supporters to protest President Vladimir Putin and the invasion of Ukraine during the third day of the 2024 Russian presidential election by all going to vote against Putin at the same time.[471]

In 2011, Foreign Policy magazine named Navalny to the FP Top 100 Global Thinkers, along with Daniel Domscheit-Berg and Sami Ben Gharbia of Tunisia, for "shaping the new world of government transparency".[478] FP picked him again in 2012.[479] He was listed by Time magazine in 2012 as one of the world's 100 most influential people, the only Russian on the list.[480] In 2013, Navalny came in at No. 48 among "world thinkers" in an online poll by the UK magazine Prospect.[481]

In 2015, Alexei and Oleg Navalny were chosen to receive the "Prize of the Platform of European Memory and Conscience 2015". According to the platform's statement, "The Members of the Platform have voted this year for the Navalny brothers, in recognition of their personal courage, struggle and sacrifices for upholding fundamental democratic values and freedoms in the Russian Federation today. By the award of the Prize, the Platform wishes to express its respect and support to Mr. Oleg Navalny whom the Platform considers a political prisoner, and to Mr. Alexei Navalny for his efforts to expose corruption, defend political pluralism and opposition to the mounting authoritarian regime in the Russian Federation".[482]

In June 2017, Navalny was included in Time's list of the World's 25 Most Influential People on the Internet.[483] In December 2017, he was named "Politician of the Year 2017" by Vedomosti.[484][485]

He was named "Politician of the Year 2019" by readers of Vedomosti.[486]

Navalny was nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize by multiple Norwegian members of parliament.[487][488] An Internet petition to the Nobel Committee in support of Navalny's candidacy was signed by over 38,000 people.[489]

Following Navalny's imprisonment in February 2021, the Boris Nemtsov Foundation for Freedom awarded Navalny with the Boris Nemtsov Prize for Courage.[490] A scenic viewpoint of Alexei Navalny was also set in Prague in direct view from the Russian Embassy, near Boris Nemtsov Square in front of the Russian Embassy and the Anna Politkovskaya Promenade.[491][492]

On 8 June 2021, Navalny's daughter accepted the Moral Courage Award at the Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy on behalf of her father. Navalny dedicated the prize to political prisoners.[493] In September 2021, Navalny was included in Time's list of the 100 most influential people. This was his second appearance on the list, having previously been included in 2012.[494]

In September 2021, he was awarded the Knight of Freedom Award conferred by the Casimir Pulaski Foundation.[495][496][497]

In October 2021, he received the Sakharov Prize, the European Parliament's annual human rights prize.[498] David Sassoli, the President of the European Parliament, announced that the award was to recognise that Navalny "has fought tirelessly against the corruption of Vladimir Putin's regime. This cost him his liberty and nearly his life".[499]

Later that same year, he also received a German prize for his efforts in sustaining freedom of expression – the M100 Media Award.[500][497]

In 2023, the documentary film about him, Navalny, directed by Daniel Roher, won Best Documentary at the 76th British Academy Film Awards and Best Documentary Feature at the 95th Academy Awards.[501][502]

Family and personal life

Navalny and his wife Yulia in 2013

Navalny was married to Yulia Abrosimova and had two children, daughter Darya (Dasha) Navalnaya, who began undergraduate studies at Stanford University in September 2019, and son Zakhar.[503]

Starting 1998, he lived primarily in a three-room apartment in Maryino District in southeast Moscow.[504]

Navalny was originally an atheist, but later became a member of the Russian Orthodox Church. He has said that turning to the Orthodox church has made him feel a "part of something large and universal."[505]

On 17 January 2021, Navalny was again arrested as he was returning to Russia, after having had to leave the country for medical treatment in Germany for a poisoning attempt against his life that had recently occurred in Russia.[251] He remained incarcerated (initially in the IK-2 penal colony) and was housed in the IK-6 maximum security prison in Melekhovo, Vladimir Oblast.[506][507][362] Navalny was listed by Amnesty International (AI) as a prisoner of conscience in May 2021, meaning that AI held that Navalny's incarceration was primarily due to his political beliefs.[508]
