At the same time, Antonov is not close to Navalny, the Novosibirsk politician supported the annexation of Crimea and the Donbass campaign, voted for amendments to the Constitution. Antonov’s organization advocated the renaming of the street in Ukhta in honor of Arsen Pavlov (Motorols) - one of the leaders of the self -proclaimed DPR.
