From prison, Navalny denounced Russia’s invasion of Ukraine via social media and encouraged anti-war protests across the country.
Navalny was detained and sent to a Russian prison in 2021 after he had returned to Russia from Germany, where he was recovering from Novichok poisoning he blamed on the Russian government.
Navalny took up Nemtsov’s mantle, becoming Russia’s most prominent opposition figure.
Alexey Navalny was given a suspended sentence and his brother was sentenced to a prison term.
Russia launched a new fraud accusation and jail threat against Navalny at the end of 2020, increasing pressure on him.
