Anti-corruption agitator was a target for 11 years
Daily Express
|February 17, 2024
ALEXEI Navalny's words that his prison sentence would mean life in his case unless there was political change in Russia have been borne out.
Putin only ever referred to Navalny as "that person" or similar wording, refusing to name him. Born in Butyn near Moscow, Navalny got a law degree in 1998 and did a fellowship at Yale in 2010.
He gained attention by focusing on corruption in Russia's mix of politics and business. He bought stakes in Russian oil and gas firms to be an activist shareholder and push for transparency.
In 2013, he was convicted of embezzlement and was given five years in prison, later downgraded to a suspended sentence.
