Alexéi A. Navalny

Alexéi A. Navalny was a prominent Russian opposition leader and vocal critic of President Vladimir Putin. He gained international recognition for his anti-corruption campaigns and efforts to expose government malfeasance. Navalny was arrested in 2021 and later imprisoned in a high-security facility in the Arctic region of Russia. His death in 2024 raised significant concerns about human rights abuses in Russia, and recent findings suggest he was poisoned with a toxin not found in Russia, intensifying accusations against the Kremlin.
