Description

As the Russia-Ukraine war continues, and global outcry against the Russian Federation's invasion loses it's intensity, we wanted to bring back our coverage of the assassination attempt on Russian opposition leader and anti-corruption activist, Alexei Navalny.
In 2020, Navalny was poisoned with a nerve agent called Novichok. During his recovery, he organized a private investigation unit to uncover his assailants. The investigation implicated FSB agents and Putin himself.
In this encore presentation, we've added additional commentary on Navalny's current status as a prisoner of the Kremlin.
