Kremlin political critics, turncoat spies and investigative journalists have been killed or assaulted in a variety of way s. The Russian opposition has lost its brightest star with Navalny's sudden death in a prison colony.
“This is a very difficult loss for the Russian opposition,” he told The Associated Press after his death.
While Navalny was the first leader to build a national Russian opposition, there were other opposition factions who didn’t like him or his organization.
While Navalny’s team continued to publish successful investigative reports, they ultimately suspended the protests and said they would switch to different tactics.
OPPOSITION IN EXILEIn the meantime, the Russian opposition faces a future largely in exile without one of its brightest leaders.
