The protests were organized by Alexey's supporters Navalny. In addition to Moscow, they took place in St. Petersburg, Kazan, Krasnodar, Novosibirsk...Alexey Navalny.. This name has been around for a long time. Even those who are poorly versed in politics know that Navalny’s rally took place the other day and that Navalny himself is protesting against the current government. This man has become the personification of discontent. People are ready to follow him. The protests on Sunday showed that he managed to gather thousands of dissatisfied people on the streets of different Russian cities. Moreover, many of those gathered are young people. And she, as you know, is always dissatisfied with something.
Who really is Alexey Navalny? Who are the young people who are ready to follow after they so furiously chanted “Down with power!” on Sunday. What is known about this prominent oppositionist, and what is he trying to hide and hide?
Alexey Navalny was born on June 4, 1976 in the military town of Butyn, Moscow Region. In 1994, he graduated from the Alabinsk school in the village of Kalininets. And then the smart and capable young man entered the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, graduating from the Faculty of Law. Navalny knows and understands the laws very well. In addition, he loves to learn and does not stop there. In 1999, he became a student at the Financial Academy at Russian government. Alexey received his diploma in 2001. However, his training did not end there.
In 2010, Alexey Navalny completed a six-month training program under the Yale World Fellows program at Yale University. He studied under the Leaders of the World program, which was developed by Richard Levin. Navalny considers him his teacher. In turn, Levin was once the head of the intelligence commission on Iraq, in which he was looking for weapons of mass destruction. There were no weapons there, but oil was found. At Yale University, Navalny was appointed to a scholarship; he was supposed to promote the fight against corruption in Russia on the Internet. The scholarship is American, but the corruption is Russian. Navalny was supposed to destroy the schemes in the Russian oil industry.
In addition to his constant studies, Navalny was actively involved in political activities. So, in 2004, he founded the “Committee for the Defense of Muscovites,” and a year later he became the founder of the youth movement “YES!” At the same time, in 2000, Alexei Navalny joined the Yabloko democratic party, and from 2004 to 2007 he headed the apparatus of the Moscow regional office parties. However, in 2007 he was expelled from Yabloko. The reason was his nationalist activities.
From this time on, Navalny actively began to maintain his own blog and later he would be called the most talented blogger. On the Internet, Navalny more than once launched quite popular Internet projects.
In 2012, Navalny registered the so-called “Anti-Corruption Foundation.” And in 2013 he ran for mayor of Moscow. He receives 27.24% of the votes, but is inferior to Sergei Sobyanin. However, he immediately begins to claim that the elections were dishonest and persuades Muscovites to protest.
Since 2010, Navalny has been accused of a number of criminal, administrative and civil cases. The most resonant are the “Yves Rocher Case” and the “Kirovles Case”. In July 2013, Navalny was given a suspended sentence of 5 years, but in 2016 Supreme Court Russia overturned this sentence. On December 30, 2014, Navalny was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison and also suspended. The verdict stands.
Who is behind Navalny?
Of course, many people are concerned about the question: who is really behind Navalny? After all, everything that is happening now resembles a well-thought-out game in which Navalny is nothing more than a pawn aiming for a queen. Who is the sponsor of Navalny and his numerous projects? Who benefits from the activities of the oppositionist? Most of Navalny's investigations were associated with revelations of serious domestic companies. They prevented American companies from entering the Russian market.
Is Mr. Navalny fighting for the good of Russia? Perhaps he really wants to cleanse the country of corruption? Of course not. In the interests of him and those who stand behind him, this ruin Russia, arrange Maidan, make our country weak.
However, we should not forget that the people behind Navalny are very influential and strong and they will not just give up. They will bring Russian children and teenagers onto the streets.
They actively work on behalf of Navalny with young people on social networks. Perhaps Navalny, who, by the way, is the father of two children, would like to leave the game, but it is no longer possible. I'm in too deep. I got in too far. There is no way back for him. But we and our children do not need to take this path.
Alexey Navalny was born near Moscow, in small town Butyn. Grew up in full family with father Anatoly Navalny and mother Lyudmila Navalny. Anatoly was from the Chernobyl region, and here he received his military education. Alexey's mother was born in a small village near the city of Zelenogradsk. She received her education in this village and then worked in various factories.
In 1993, one of the factories where Lyudmila worked went bankrupt. Immediately the parents decide to use this opportunity and create a workshop in this bankrupt factory. When Alexey finishes school, he enters the Peoples' Friendship University at the Faculty of Law. In 1999, he entered the financial academy, which he successfully completed and received a diploma. During his studies Alexey worked as a lawyer and then as an economist.
Activities as a politician
Alexei Navalny was a member of the political council of the Yabloko party from 2000 to 2007. Then he often organized various popular movements and nationalist processions. He repeatedly created political organizations that defended people's rights.
In 2008, Navalny, together with his like-minded people, began organizing active struggle against oil companies, which, according to him, did not respond to numerous requests. In 2010 Alexey Navalny founded the RosPil organization, which quickly found its like-minded people. Thanks to active and effective actions to suppress fraud, within a year a large amount of money was saved for the state budget. For this, the organization received an award at an international competition.
The Anti-Corruption Foundation is the only private organization in Russia, investigating cases of such importance. Roads are considered an important issue for Russia, with which the state is always in trouble, and to solve it, a project was founded that allows anyone to show a photograph of a section of the road unsuitable for driving.
Complaints were sent to the traffic police, but the employees did not take action, so a paper was generated and sent to the prosecutor's office, necessary to provoke any work to correct the roads. It is also worth mentioning that Alexei Navalny discovered Shuvalov's private jet, in which his wife took her high-breed dogs to various shows.
Candidate for mayor of Moscow
In 2013, Navalny ran for mayor Russian capital. Initially, he was registered only because a larger selection of candidates for the post of mayor of Moscow was needed, but, contrary to all expectations, he fell slightly short of first place in the voting results.
Court cases
The next day, Alexey collected a package of documents on election fraud. During the demonstration, people actively expressed their dissatisfaction with the Moscow government. During the march, the police detained Navalny, and Alexey received a 15-day arrest for allegedly resisting arrest. But the most important court case that unfolded around Navalny was became the Kirovles case, which dragged on for quite a long time.
The essence of this case is that Alexey Navalny and an entrepreneur, allegedly through misconception, made a deal with Opalev, the director of the above-described enterprise, on unfavorable terms for him. Alexey himself denied all guilt, citing that the case was fabricated due to the fact that Navalny achieved his goal, and the director of the enterprise was removed from his position.
The case was subsequently closed, but a couple of months later it was reopened due to new data. As a result of the entire long chain of proceedings, the accusation came into force. The politician explained this by saying that the case was formed to protect him from political participation in the life of the country.
Family life
Navalny has a beautiful wife Yulia, daughter Daria and son Zakhar, who was born in 2008. Long time a large family lived in one-room apartment, but the four of them felt cramped, so they started looking for an apartment to rent.
Elections 2018
Preparations for the elections went like this:
- At the end of 2016, Alexey expressed his intention to participate in the 2018 presidential elections in the Russian Federation.
- An election campaign was organized in which he declared his intention to continue the fight against corruption schemes.
- In the spring and summer of 2017, Navalny again organized strikes and rallies, as a result of which he was detained and received punishment, both in the form of a fine and serving a sentence of 15 and 30 days.
On December 27, Navalny was not allowed to participate in the 2018 elections because of the Kirovles case, despite its illegality. After this, the politician called on his like-minded people to join the strike.
The Russian opposition as a kind of generalized social movement suffers from a number of systemic defects. Disunity, ambiguity in assessments of emerging situations and their changes, differences in political platforms and goals - this is an incomplete list of factors that form the weakness of the influence of forces opposing the existing government, which, nevertheless, all their leaders characterize as “criminal” and “bloody.” At the end of the first decade of the 21st century, a new figure appeared on the Russian political scene - Navalny. Who is this, what are the ambitions of this figure and why did he decide to lead the opposition movement? What are his goals, what is he calling for? Surveys conducted in Russia showed that half of the country's population did not even know who he was. It's time to fill this gap.
Opposition is constructive and destructive
IN modern Russia protest sentiments have a certain social base, as in any other country. Not a single state has yet managed to create an ideal society; there are dissatisfied people everywhere, and it is the opposition that always seeks to take advantage of unfavorable factors. In essence, this is its political role: criticism of shortcomings, even very angry, helps to improve the work of government agencies. Several other goals were pursued by the opposition, which set itself destructive goals. For example, during the First World War, the Bolshevik Party tried in every possible way to weaken the state and destroy its foundations. All means were suitable for this, including undermining defenses, using money received from the enemy and direct sabotage. Every state, even one that positions itself as the most democratic, has the right to fight the forces seeking to destroy it. Moreover, it is his duty to society. So what goals does Alexey Navalny set for the political movement he leads in modern Russia? Who supports and funds this movement?
Early Russian opposition
The history of the emergence of the modern Russian opposition begins at the very end of the 80s. Most of its representatives sincerely fought the communist regime, were in prison, served exile and proudly called themselves dissidents. Even then, it was divided into “wings” - left and right, but, regardless of orientation, it joyfully welcomed the coming to power of democratic forces led by B. N. Yeltsin. Not all oppositionists fully corresponded to the image of a zealot for the people's aspirations, which is why the first problems arose. In the vastness of the former USSR, meanwhile, a struggle for souls and power unfolded. Presidents and prime ministers in post-Soviet countries were people who were trained in the United States (this biographical fact was perceived quite positively by the population at that time). Personnel known to be friendly to the West were also trained for Russia. Judging by the support provided, M. Kasyanov, B. Nemtsov or G. Yavlinsky were considered the best representatives of the set of promising democratic-liberal leaders in the United States.
Appearance
Opposition figures like G. Novodvorskaya, and even the famous chess player G. Kasparov were not considered promising political figures; their images did not correspond to the depth of the task. But the respectable and experienced leaders of the Yeltsin era, proven and loyal to the West, were also not suitable. The fact that they were already in power, and quite recently, spoke eloquently against them. The politicians and economists of Yeltsin’s set did not bring anything good to the people, and this has not yet been forgotten. A reboot was required. A new leader was needed who would be able to unite the disunited opposition forces, would have a certain charisma, high intelligence, a sarcastic and ironic mindset and could speak beautifully, in other words, would control the audience. Moreover, such a person, ideally, should actually be deprived of a past. And such a candidate was found, his name was Alexey Navalny. No one knew who he was. Just an author-blogger. But
Family of the oppositionist
Alexey Anatolyevich's parents are ordinary people. Father is a communications officer, a graduate of the Kyiv Military School. Mother studied at the Ordzhonikidze Administration). Born in 1976, the son of a military man and future oppositionist often changed cities and schools. Currently, my parents own a small business producing wicker products. Alexey also has younger brother, Oleg, born in 1984, but more about him later. Wife - Yulia Borisovna. There are two children, Daria (born in 2001) and Zakhar (born in 2008). In general, family is like family. Alexey Navalny lives in Maryino (a Moscow district that is not particularly prestigious). Modesty adorns a politician, especially a young one.
Studies
After graduating from the Alabino school at the military town, the young man entered the law school, from which he graduated in 1998. Alexei Navalny managed to work in a bank, and a year before graduating from university he showed a passion for commerce, becoming the founder of the Nesna society (hairdressing salon). Things didn’t work out, the company was sold, but the search for a better life continued. The young man got the second higher education at the Financial Academy under the Government of the Russian Federation at the Faculty of Finance and Credit, becoming a specialist in stock exchange business and securities. The thirst for learning manifested itself once again in 2010, when he managed to complete a course of study in six months (the Yale World Fellows grant program) in the USA at Yale University. Recommendations for the novice politician were given by venerable Russian oppositionists E. Albats, O. Tsyvinsky, S. Guriev and G. Kasparov. They were known in America, their words were listened to.
Labor path
Allekt LLC was registered in 1997 as an agent of the opposition SPS. It was engaged in advertising, its activities were not very successful, despite the fact that the “Right Forces” paid for its services in the amount of almost one hundred million rubles, of which deputy director Navalny received five percent as a remuneration. Who will consider this a violation of the law or financial discipline? Currently, Allect LLC has been liquidated. The same fate befell the law firm “N. N. Securities”, co-founded by Alexey Anatolyevich and his friends from law school. Since 2001 LLC "Euro-Asian transport systems", in the creation of which Navalny took part, provides logistics and transport services. The company also liquidated itself. In 2009, he became a lawyer, passing the exam in the city of Kirov, and even conducted two trials. During the same period, the Navalny and Partners company did not exist for long. In 2012, he was promoted to a responsible post at Aeroflot by A. Lebedev, who owns the NRB bank. When elected, the protégé promised to wage an uncompromising fight against corruption. A year later, Alexei Anatolyevich Navalny left this post, apparently not of his own free will.
The beginning of big politics
Showing great energy in the business sphere, Alexey Anatolyevich was involved in active political activities. The fight against corruption is a win-win business; it can be done endlessly, but it is very difficult to evaluate the effectiveness. Since 2004, the “Committee for the Protection of Muscovites” has been carrying out this difficult socially useful work. Since 2005, it has been supplemented by concerns about youth (the “Yes!” movement) and leadership of the “Police with the People” movement. His political career began in collaboration with the Governor of the Kirov Region N. Belykh (freelance adviser) and the Foundation for Support of His Initiatives.
Then there was Yabloko (member of the political council) and the post of head of the Moscow party organization. In 2007, Alexei Anatolyevich Navalny was scandalously expelled from the party for extreme nationalism. He himself explained this incident by his confrontation with Yavlinsky.
Nationalism
The national idea is almost as winning, especially when combined with democratic slogans. In Moscow, from time to time, one or another carefully choreographed “Russian” march took place. Navalny could be seen in almost every one of them. However, by 2013, excessive scandal (zagging, raging young people and other hooligans created an unfavorable background) prompted the politician to temporarily refuse to participate in mass nationalist events. Criticism of the “Putin regime” became the main focus of the “People” movement, which, however, turned out to be not as numerous as its creators wanted. Navalny, whose photo had already been published by almost all media, tried to unite his organization with the “Other Russia”, but was rejected. Nevertheless, the image of an uncompromising fighter against corruption has already been established; in the election of the capital's mayor, the opposition candidate came out on top. But then the Yves Rocher case suddenly arose, significantly spoiling the heroic image.
Brotherly help
Oleg Navalny, brother of the oppositionist, worked as an automation specialist and department head domestic shipments at Russian Post, and then decided to start his own business and quit in 2013. It was he who was able to convince representatives of the Yves Rocher company not to use the services of the public service anymore (and it, obviously, did not really work). in the best possible way), and entrust your shipments and receipts to a private GPA company that actually belongs to him brother. The price, of course, turned out to be higher, but then the reliability... So, at least, Oleg Navalny said. And he won the favor of foreigners. In fact, no one was going to carry letters, parcels and parcels. When receiving cargo for shipment, the Navalny brothers entrusted the troublesome task to other transport companies, which charged much less for services. For some time this simple scheme functioned successfully, but sooner or later everything secret becomes clear. Either the deadlines were not met, or something was missing, but the French suspected something was wrong. Then they made their claims and off they went. In total, the Navalny brothers defrauded their clients by 24 million. The case went to court and received international publicity. Protests immediately began in connection with the oppression of the opposition in Russia.
Punishment
The court's sentence cannot be called too severe. In Soviet times, they could easily have been shot for this, and the faithful “ten” shone even during Gorbachev’s rule, when almost anything was possible. Oleg Navalny received real time 3.5 years, and his brother, an anti-corruption oppositionist and champion of honesty, got off with a suspended sentence. The court apparently took into account his merits in the fight against theft. The accomplices will also have to pay a fine of 4,800,000 rubles. You have to understand that such a small thing won’t matter.
Reaction to the case
Of course, the liberal public is still trying to convince the Russian population that it was for the fight against the regime that Navalny suffered. The rally followed the rally during the consideration of the court case, then the activity decreased, but has not reached zero even today. The image of a victim has always evoked massive sympathy in our country, and many of the statements of the disgraced politician evoke a lively response in the hearts of people. Indeed, not everything is in order in Russia with migration legislation, and there are plenty of other problems.
Who is guilty?
The Navalny case is being exaggerated by the pro-Western and liberal media, it is called fabricated, but the participation of a deceived foreign defendant in it significantly undermines the position of defenders of civil liberties.
There is nothing sweeter for the leader of the Russian opposition than the feeling of sacrifice combined with defiance. It was in this direction that Alexey Navalny showed emotions. Photo of what he ostentatiously cut electronic bracelet spread across the Internet at the beginning of 2014 after the suspended sentence came into force and the need for house arrest disappeared. For some reason they really didn’t manage to remove this device in time - and here it is, a reason for protest. However, there was no reaction from the “satraps”.
Another reason to appear on television was the murder of Boris Nemtsov. On this tragic event Many leaders of the “dissent movement” responded, including K. Sobchak and A. Navalny. The rally planned for the next day actually turned out to be a failure. The oppositionist usually places the blame for Nemtsov’s death on Putin.
He himself believes that he will be able to govern the country much more successfully after winning the next presidential elections.
Not long ago, more and more rumors, facts and articles from nosy reporters began to gather around Navalny’s person. He began his career as a lawyer, and this moment he is an active oppositionist and public figure who founded his own anti-corruption foundation (Alexey Navalny Anti-Corruption Foundation - official website).
Also, Alexey not so long ago, namely in 2013, ran for the post of mayor of Moscow, but took second place. This public figure fights for the rights of Russian citizens, for which he has been punished more than once.

A similar program from this university is held once a year, during which only 15 people are selected around the world and undergo a special program at Yale for six months. And, as it turned out, Alexey is so gifted that he even made it onto the list of these 15 people. This can be considered great achievement. This situation speaks of the lawyer’s high knowledge and abilities.
He worked in his specialty while he was still studying at the university. Not every student succeeds in this, but Navalny has always been talented. After graduating from university, he began working in a more reputable company, since he already had experience behind him.
An interesting fact is that during his career, Alexey more than once was the founder of several companies, starting their activities from scratch, completely without investments, and then the companies were promoted and sold for quite a lot of money. Such actions attracted many anti-corruption fighters who began an investigation, but in the end it ended in nothing.

Daughter of Alexei Navalny - Daria Navalnaya

Navalny Alexey: latest news for today
Due to his line of work, namely the head of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, called FBK for short, and his ardent political views, he more than once ended up in the police station, mainly for organizing unsanctioned rallies. Leads its active political activity in the Internet.
The Foundation uploads videos specifically aimed at political news, as well as its thoughts on specific political topics. Sometimes FBK and Alexey post investigative films dedicated to certain politicians. Navalny's latest victims were the son of the Prosecutor General, Andrei Chaika, and the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev.
Alexey, for most people, remained an unfamiliar character, but with each of his videos, he became more and more popular. The peak of popularity can be considered the video where Navalny announces his intention to run as a candidate for the presidency of the Russian Federation, whose elections will be held in March 2018. At the moment, Alexey is conducting a very active election campaign: he travels to different cities of Russia with the aim of opening election headquarters and recruiting volunteers.
With the release of the latest film “He’s not Dimon to you” about corruption on the part of Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev, Navalny’s rating has risen very significantly, and now the request “Alexey Navalny: latest news for today” has become extremely popular in search engines. Two weeks later, Alexey decided to hold rallies dedicated to the fight against corruption. 104 cities took up the political baton, but in the end rallies were held in 84 cities.
But with greater popularity came an equally great immunity to the “Navalny Effect” on the part of the people. Very often they try to carry out lynching on Alexey, which is mainly limited to polemics and dialogue, but sometimes it comes down to throwing eggs and dousing him with brilliant green. In his last raid on a presidential candidate, a young man poured a glass of brilliant green on his face, and the liquid got into the mucous membrane of his right eye, and now there is a risk of complete inoperability of the organ.
Two days later, the Russian Court accepted the Kirovles case of fraud and incitement to fraud. The court found Alexei Navalny guilty and sentenced him to 5 years of suspended imprisonment, which undermines the candidate’s chances of continuing to conduct his political campaign.
