Today's free blink is on Navalny (2021) by @JanMattiD @m_lallouet and @Ben_H_Noble. I can't say that I have a firm grasp on Russian politics. These blinks might help.

Putin has dominated Russia for almost 2 decades. According to the authors, Navalny is perceived as a threat.

Navalny is about the same age as me. Navalny was flying back to Russia-he had become very sick earlier and was suspected to have been poisoned by the Russians.
When he gets to Russia he's likely to be arrested by police.

Navalny was born in the Soviet Union. Born to an accountant and an Army Officer. He went to university and studied law and economics. He worked in banking, stock trading and real estate development. He became wealthy and well-connected.
Navalny "presented himself as a practical, no-nonsense family man who has straddled the line between progressive & nationalist politics... he espouses... liberal views, such as support for same-sex marriage, (but) also takes more conservative stances on issues like immigration."

"Navalny used his wealth to launch a vast anti-corruption campaign...Navalny’s career as an anti-corruption activist began in 2006 with so-called shareholder activism. Essentially, Navalny leveraged his wealth to buy minority shares in large companies."

"In February 2012, he consolidated his various activist projects into the Anti-Corruption Foundation... It also produces wildly popular YouTube videos detailing how corruption funnels wealth to the country’s elite while leaving the many behind."

Navalny nurtured an interest in politics from an early age. He was prevented from running for the Kremlin in 2017.

Navalny was put in prison when he returned to Russia, and the government is trying to dismantle his political organisation.
Anyway, that's a high level view of Navalny and his legacy.
