Alexei Navalny: One against Putin

Alexei Navalny (1976 – 2024) experienced the slow decline of Russia: When he was a child, the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl exploded. Later, the young lawyer saw how lies, corruption and nepotism were rampant everywhere. He began to defend himself, organized mass resistance against the criminal regime and informed his people about the kleptocrats in the Kremlin. For this he was arrested, beaten and attacked with nerve agent. In Berlin, German doctors saved him from death – but Navalny returned to his homeland with sight: Russia.
