He is Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most determined and outspoken opponent. He was nearly poisoned to death in August 2020 in Siberia and is now in a high-security prison. Is there any real opposition left in Russia? What do we know about the poisoning? And who really is Alexei Navalny – a social media star, a hero to some, a racist nationalist to others and an agent of the West according to Russian authorities? Why have his anti-corruption investigations touched such a nerve? And do we have anything to fear from Russia? The answers are to be found in this series produced by four AFP journalists based in Moscow and Paris, based on exclusive first-hand accounts and interviews from Agnes Callamard, the former UN rapporteur on the poisoning; Piotr Tolstoy, the deputy chairman of Russia’s lower house; Vladimir Kara-Murza, a poisoned opposition figure; and many activists and experts. A podcast hosted by Jonathan Brown and Andrea Palasciano. In collaboration with Antoine Boyer and Sarah-Lou Lepers in Paris

Episode #3 “Hi, it’s Navalny”

AFP was on the plane on January 17 when Alexei Navalny returned to Russia despite the near certainty of imprisonment. Who is this seemingly fearless man, a social media star with a sardonic sense of humour? Friends, experts and his critics answer the question, with some pointing to a ‘‘nationalist’, even ‘racist’ past. But more than anything, Navalny has become a thorn in the side of a Russian elite whose alleged corruption he has worked to expose.
