Russian anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny's fight against Putin and the Kremlin

Alexei Navalny, a Russian anti-corruption activist and lawyer, dedicated his life to exposing and challenging the rampant corruption within the Russian government under President Vladimir Putin. Navalny criticized the regime for exploiting the Russian people and turning corruption into a lucrative business. He created an anti-corruption foundation to support local politicians who wanted to oppose the Kremlin. Navalny's influence grew as he rallied Russian citizens through protests against corruption and even ran for mayor of Moscow, garnering significant support. Despite facing multiple attacks and an assassination attempt with the nerve agent Novichok, Navalny returned to Russia to continue his fight. He was arrested upon arrival and remained in jail, maintaining his vocal opposition and urging supporters to keep fighting. Navalny's sudden death has sparked outrage and mourning both within Russia and internationally, highlighting the power and repression of Putin's regime.
