Not many people are willing to challenge Russian President Vladimir Putin.
But Alexey Navalny’s arguably his most popular opponent yet.
So who is Alexey Navalny? And why did he go back to Russia even though he faced jail?

if putin wanted him dead, there is not a chance he flies to germany alive, Navalny is just a toy used by other goverment (USA…) to take Russia down, how dumb can anyone be to not see that
And Putin can’t just take Navalny down, Navalny isn’t some guy living in a basement who nobody knows about, he’s popular, and if Putin took him just sent someone to assisinate him people would be more skeptical of Putin and his goverment. he would be recieving alot of backlash and all of Navalny’s supporters would protest against him. Do you really think that everyone would have been quite about an assisination of some popular anti-corruption and opposer of an authoritarian goverment, no.
@Haris Abdullah lets make some thigs clear, Putin is no good, he’s so corrupt, he done a lot of bad thigs, and he needs to leave, but is Navalny the best option ? and Putin isn’t that stupid to try to poisen him and he faild as Navalny said, just think about that, Putin the most powerful man with top-notch intelligence agents, fiald to kill Navalny and then Navalny found everything ready in his way to germany, a whole medical plain ready, all doctors ready, i just doubt in that so much if you can help me
@Louai abdeghani Amrouche Any response?
@Haris Abdullah any
@Louai abdeghani Amrouche Good.
Navanly is a just a traitor.
An c IA agent,nothing else
Free ASSANGE first
Cute asf
Navalny is a man who has said no Putin.
And said yes to CIA.
@Al 72 no, these are rotten Putin propaganda attaching all of their opponents to CIA.
Al Jazeera reports on potests against Vladimir Putin. Now im can assure that putin is 💯 clean!
And that Putin is still the best leader for Russia.
If West was praising him like Yeltsin, I would never vote for him.
Kremlin bots coming in 1…2….3……
Just call us Russian Patriots.

Biden also controls state run media CNN and the justice system . Does that mean Biden is also like Putin ?
Biden is better than putin
What 2 work with you dear
Please, send to Russian people good thoughts and prayers. ❤️Things are dark here, twisted. Too much violence from police, arrests of peaceful people..and it’s only beginning of needed changes.
BRAINFARTED YOU ARE AND ITS EVIDENT.
You are lucky it’s the police and not all the Russians who hate CIA agent Navralny.
We wouldn’t be as gentle as our Law Enforcement.
Navalny is definitely a western stooge, he reminds me of other western puppets like Guido. Navalny’s support is less than 1% of the Russian populace.
It’s a shame Al Jazeera are plugging fake narratives.
Ur point is totally misleading, no one can compromise on their own territory, he is fighting against autocratic. Every country has right for democracy.
How is my point misleading?
@Hafsa Akram
Al Jazeera has a right to bring demo-crazy to Qatar first.
But i bet they will get executed rather quickly.
@Kasir Mir
Even BBC admitted that only 1-2% support Navralny, while 50% outright hate him.
He can never win anything, only cause some minor domestic terrorism.
The picture is familiar, we in Brazil had something similar happening when Lula was acused about a “triplex” apartment. It turned down it was a farse. But it meant regime change, a pro-American one. Just a thought.
I just watched a documentary about Brazil and same thought has crossed my mind.
Thanks for sharing.
I am a man and I support woman’s rights to end violence, aggression and I love women and men.
”
Putin controls basically everything: the state media, state-run companies, a powerful intelligence network and his critics say the justice system too.”
As if in Qatar things goes different? As if Sheikh al-Thani is not controlling state media, right al-jazeera?
Navalny is a right wing racist who wanted to kick all Georgians out of Russia during the South Ossetian conflict referring to them as “cockroaches”. He also hate Arabs and God knows what he think of Africans and those of African decent. He and his team is controlled by Mi6 and CIA. We see clearly where his right hand man Vladimir Ashurkov was soliciting funding to the amount 10 – 20 million dollars per year to insight “mass protest, civil initiatives, propaganda”. Also seeking dirt from British intelligence on Russia elites in the UK such as Usmanov and Abramovich. They’re also working with UK companies like Henry Jackson Society in London to paint a bad picture of Russian State Banks such as VTB to get them blacklisted as representing a threat to European financial markets. In return British banks like Lloyds, RBS and Barclays can take their places in Russia. Navalny is nothing but a TRAITOR to his country. His values are least representative of European and American values as we see his kind are being prosecuted because of the last attempt at the Capitol. It’s clear the west would fund their worse enemy once the long term goal is to destroy your country to their benefit.
slowly slowly aljazeera is changing…very good…always be unbiased..if it goes agaisnt ur ally turk n iran..u have to be…u have to need change ur status…aljazeera
He’s the antagonist.
If he’s the antagonist then I don’t wanna be a protagnist
Im not a russian fan. But OH MY GOD, this is clearly propaganda. That the elite controls the Economy. Are you stupid? This is everywhere, just look at the new gamestop stock crisis. It is litteraly everywhere in the world, not only Russia.
And people falling in to this is just as a sheep as everyone else. No intellect at all
exactly what Rachid Nekkaz did in Algeria last year
and he’s been in prison since then
been tortured , caught 2 cancers and been sent to a prison in the sahara desert to prevent him from seeing his attourney and getting treatement
Funny how we never heard any protest from the European Court of Human Rights when the journalist Julian Assange was jailed and almost extradited.
Good that you pointed this out. Assange is ten times more worthy of support and protest.
@Suzana Dee
Absolutely.
Whataboutery is your best arguement now ?
@Saksham Tyagi
Why is West and Al Jazeera are even talking about Russian internal matters.
That is ultimate whataboutism.
Путин вор!
Повёлся на пропаганду нового Ельцина.
well you skipped the part that he went to US YALE university where he was recruited just like his brother in arms Juan Guaido
There Navralny was trained for a program codenamed World Leaders.
I am not joking.
World Leaders…
US was planning to place him as a Russian leader.
brave person
Real hero of American people.
Putins worst nightmare
Not at all.
After initial confusion, people see AlexCIA for the weasel that he is.
Al Jazeera a western puppet. Didn’t you see the video of Navalny right hand meeting with the MI6? Why don’t you cover that instead this kind of cover. You are poisoning the peoples mind specially the young generations.
lets talk about democracy in Qatar
RIP
I think its important to mention Navalny’s racist views as well .
WDF IN RASSIA?!
Corruption in Russia???? İf you want to show real corruption go to USA or any western european country. They have the worst corrupted sistems in the world not Russia. When turks were killing armenian people in Karabagh for 44 days where were those protesters and Erdoğan supporters?
Someones wanted me to comment here. Ok. I view Navalny as the Beto O’Rourke of Russia. No comment on Novichok, except to say that to affect him on the plane, he had to have been poisoned on the plane; novichok is instantly active in the body. And as to that palace, the Russian Federation has a similar property in Sochi, overlooking the same Black Sea from a similar perch. Putin regularly receives people there. Why would he need another palace with an identical view of the same body of water? Looks to me as if Navalny and his people were overeager to prove some point.
No.
Navralny was trained by a foreign adversary (US) 10 years ago to sabotage Russia.
US is paying for his daughter expensive education in US.
He is a foreign agent, and any political activity is a crime for him.
Just like foreign agents are not allowed to participate in American politics.
Putin is chief thieve, so will be this guy.
In the entire history of Russia they never had democracy.
Too much Propoganda
Learn why Socrates hated democracy.
Better call it demo-crazy.
We want political stability in Russia and Putin is the best leader Russia had since Peter the Great.
If u know something about Greek history u r not simple Russian .U must know
Putin and his freinds drain Russia from liquid cash to London .
Bangladeshis should take notes from Navalny, he’s fighting corruption with such bravery, and he’s going to win, just watch. Putin will be ousted.
Not in your lifetime kiddo.
Alexey is a clown a western stooge (puppet) so as Al Jazeera ☺😊😃😂😆😆😆
They are obeying Western masters so not to have Qatar turned into demo-crazy.
Why do I have to see this woman talk instead of narrarate? Poor production and useless.
Propaganda.
Put an attractive female to tell lies.
If Putin controls everything, why then did Navalny insult him in the media for so long and had three television programs? According to Russian law, you can go to jail for insulting anyone. He insulted a veteran of the Second World War, I wonder what would have done in the UK if someone insulted a British veteran?
Navalny was imprisoned for a crime and not a political one!
Snitches wear stitches.
You forgot to show how his movie was a fraud made in computer graphics studio and how this moron verbally abuses 95 years old veteran of WW2.
And yes, mr 3% cannot knock Putins regeme
Even BBC recently admitted that only 2% support Navralny, while 50% outright hate him.
This guy couldn’t even win a mayoral position despite all the media rhetoric on massive supporters. What a joke.
Ehh the amount of protesters clearly implies that he has massive support doesn’t it ? Him not winning points more towards unfair elections imo
Putin try hard but fail miserably on this guy. He must think twice this time due to protests.
The little 0.1% 5th column doesn’t scare Russian people.
If government would allow, we the people can tear the traitors apart. They wouldn’t knoe where to hide, little weasels.
Weasel is actually Navralny spirit animal.
Oh the Zionists who were robbing the USSR and have taken the wealth of Russia to Britain ..USA…Israel…and have international warrants on them but are being supported to try and get back in Russia to rob it again like the good old days ……. The Zionists killed millions of people around the world to to take over governments they even killed an American president who was about to strangle the Zionists
What has been left out here is Navalny’s past ties with neo-Nazis and skin heads. As per an article in the NYT from 12/9/2011 by Ellen Barry: “He has appeared as a speaker alongside neo-Nazis and skinheads, and once starred in a video that compares dark-skinned Caucasus militants to cockroaches. While cockroaches can be killed with a slipper, he says that in the case of humans, “I recommend a pistol.” Why isn’t this being made known?
His job is to disarm Russia for the west.
To finish what Yeltsin started.
Destroy Russia.
Maybe even allow a nuclear strike against Russia.
Putin has lost his reason…
AlexCIA has no reason.
I can imagine if navalny become president , Russia is gone for good . He’s gonna go cozy up to the west for sure .
This is such a stupid argument I keep seeing. “Navalny is no good, he is gonna sell us out and use out taxes to benefit the west”. Because right now taxes of the people are used to benefit themselves and not 1% of russian oligarchy, lol.
That argument could hold some ground if not for current situation of corruption where “Russia” is actually gone for the people themselves. But because people of Russia do not actually own their country, it can not be stolen from them by the west – it was already stolen by oligarchs.
So even if he will be buttering up the west, it is not going to become worse. And if he is actually truthful leader, situation might actually improve instead.
@Ethuil UI
OP has a great argument.
AlexCIA Navralny will destroy Russia just like Yeltsin the Western puppet did.
Only gullible fools fall for this scam artist.
Zero mention of Navalny’s racist comments and right-wing nationalistic views. Nice job!
Navalny = Joshua Wong = CIA bot. From assets to liability.
You look very pretty! 💐 💖🌹
…waiting for russians BOTs 🤔
Russian bots love their motherland.
Western bots hate Russia.
Great Navalny is prisonned
Navalny deserve to spend in prison some years and after to made the russian army… after, maybe, he will be less arrogant and start working and live like many milions of russian honest citizens.
He could have joined his daughter in America.
Could have gotten an honest job, i don’t know, drive a taxi or something.
But West is paying him to spend time in Russian prison.
Don’t you guys think that Qatar ,Saudi and UAE should also be democratic
I mean they are developed enough
Everyone at Al Jazeera will get shot dead if they even mention it.
let’t talk about you… Married!??? No? yes?
Eww shut up kid
Al Maktoum & Tommy Hilfiger having a Temper Tantrum with Russia…
Also known as Eddie McGuire, Comancheros & Ibrahim…
Thats who Navalny is…
Good president doesn’t sits 20 years in presidential chair, if president sits 20 years and just about each his political opponent killed or poisoned it means that president is dictator.
No.
We voted for Putin.
We will vote for him again.
5th column will fail and Russia will win.
Putin doesn’t like when people interfere with political and internal affairs… interesting 😂😂😂💩
Thanks Aljazeera now I know he’$ a western puppet
And so is Al Jazeera.
That’s the price they have to pay not to have US start more troubles inside Quatar.
How is Navalny an opposition leader? He’s just opposed to Putin. He has no political platform, no party, and no plan. I see no opposition leader here. Just a self serving hack and EU and US jumping on his empty bandwagon.
He was trained in US 10 years ago to harm Russia in one way or another.
US has been paying him ever since.
a
terrorist tv
Navalny is nothing but your typical wester agent and USA/EU countrie sprove dthat with their own actions tye didnt even hide it at all they showed in the open who Navalny realy is (their agent/asset).
Just like Bobi Wine in Uganda
Sexiest female voice I’ve ever heard. I’m still mesmerised 🤓
That’s how propaganda works.
Weak minded people fall for it.
Biden is our new Putin
Massive thug life moment at 3:20
I once wrote about the same end result with almost the same script…be it in Bangladesh, Egypt, Uganda, elsewhere…yes Russia too
100% western stooge
Do you real believe that if Russia wanted him dead, he’d still be alive? If someone was trying to kill you, would you fo back?
Are you implying that it is impossible for someone to put themselves in danger for something they found worthy of it?
Anybody still care about the JULIAN ASSANGE AND EDWARD SNOWDEN cases? SNOWDEN is in Russia for asylum. JULIAN is in prison in the UK. His only crime was to inform the people of what the government was doing
and Main stream media will never even mention it. You really believe they care to inform us about the truth??
Yes Putin is a dictator in all but title, but Alexey Navalny may not be the one you want to champion. I hear that his earlier videos were very white supremacist, but I don’t speak russian to confirm that. Most of the Russain people know Putin is a corrupt ruthless dictator, but their standard of living has gone up under him, so he is very popular.
STFU, most people i know voted for Putin.
All Western polls agree Putin easily won the last election.
As far as foreigners go, only Russia haters call Putin a dictator.
West can call him whatever they like, most Russians will only like him more when West is slandering him.
He should have stayed in Germany at least he would be with his wife, 2-3 years in a Russian Jail, I like him and what he wants for the Russian People but the Military is behind Putin same as in China dictators own everything and everybody gets a piece of the action.
Russian people support Putin.
We had a Western puppet Yeltsin before Putin. It was very very bad.
Yeltsin didn’t steal much for himself, but allowed the West together with a few Russian middlemen rob Russia blind.
Alex Navalny is corrupted too and he is a big liar.
AlexCIA Navralny.
Just another day in Russia 🤷♂️
Feels like a bunch of propaganda to me. 🤷🏾♂️🥴 As long as he’s aligned to the West he’s portrayed as the hero/good guy in the media. All I see is a Western stooge Russia needs a strong leader like Putin.
As a Russian i agree.
Al Jazeera is just a rebranding of New York Times, a fiercely anti Russian entity.
A German with ambitions to be a president of RUSSIA
Germany already gave us Lenin, and now Navralny.
Its always difficult to say when the international community should intervene.. but i do think in countries where corruption is too strong to sustain economic growth they should in fact intervene.
I m not Rus,but ı can say that,some europan counrty are last countries to democracy lesson to Russia.Especially England
It’s not about countries giving lessons and more about individuals who can clearly see what’s happening in the land
Nato agent duh

CIA gang
You forgot to mention that he’s also a white nationalist who has incited hatred against immigrants.
Such a brave and fearless CIA agent!
