Ivan Zjdanov, also an opposition politician and friend of Navalny, writes on X that the politician is not to be found in high-risk prison number seven either. – This means that he has been taken out, or will be taken out of Vladimir Oblast, claims Zhdanov. Poisoned In 2020, Navalny became acutely ill on a flight from Tomsk to Moscow in Russia. He had been in Siberia in connection with the local elections, where Navalny and his team tried to reduce support for Putin. When he became ill, the plane landed in the city of Omsk. There he was hospitalized, but quickly received an offer from the former German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, to receive treatment in Berlin. Navalny himself helped reveal that it was the Russian security service that had poisoned him. Navalny: Got a confession from one of those who poisoned him. Sentenced to 28 years in prison Navalny was imprisoned as soon as he returned from Germany in 2021. He has been convicted of a number of matters – including for having financed Nazism. Navalny was sentenced to 15 days in prison back in 2017, for organizing a nationwide demonstration against government corruption.

In total, Navalny has been sentenced to 28 years in prison. Navalny’s position among Russians The 47-year-old is one of the leading opposition politicians in Russia. He and his followers have no representatives in the Russian parliament. The opposition parties that are there are in reality support parties for Putin’s regime.

Two surveys from 2021 show that around 20–25 percent of Russians supported Navalny. On the other hand, he considers the vast majority to be radical.
