After Navalny’s Arrest: Whither the Russian Opposition

Join the Kennan Institute for a webinar on Alexei Navalny and the future of Russian domestic politics.

The return to Russia and subsequent imprisonment of Alexey Navalny represents a possible turning point in Russian domestic politics. Navalny’s reappearance on the Russian stage sparked a series of large protests and a predictable sharp reaction from authorities. Can the opposition remain organized and united in light of this crackdown, or will Putin’s authoritarian turn be sufficient to maintain his grip on power?
