By Andrew Osborn(Reuters) - Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny has complained of being poisoned, assaulted and deprived of proper medical care, but on Monday he disclosed he faced a new challenge: being forced to listen to a pro-Putin pop singer at 0500 every morning. In a message on X facilitated by his allies, Navalny described a surreal morning routine. "The singer Shaman came to prominence when I was already in prison so I could neither see him nor listen to his music. "Of course I was curious to hear it, but where could I listen to it in prison. followed by the Russian national anthem and then immediately afterwards, the country's second most important song is played - 'I am Russian' by Shaman."
