On Jan. 17, 2021, opposition figure Alexei Navalny returned to Russia after being poisoned by the Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok, likely at the hands of Russian security services. Arrested immediately upon arrival, an unbowed Navalny released a YouTube video on "Putin’s Palace," which has already been viewed over 50 million times.

Please join the Belfer Center's Intelligence Project and Russia Matters for an off-the-record conversation with investigative journalist Yevgenia Albats on the implications of Navalny's return and detention, and what it means for the future of Russian opposition and politics.
