Leonid Volkov: the next rallies in support of Navalny will be held in spring and summer
Alexei Navalny's associates will not hold rallies in support of him this coming weekend, Leonid Volkov, head of the politician's headquarters network, said on Navalny Live.
According to Volkov, the next rallies will be held in the spring and summer.
If we go out every week, we will get thousands more arrested and hundreds more beaten. The work of headquarters will be paralyzed and it will be impossible to work on elections just for nothing. This is not what Alexey asks of us. Aleksey asks us to concentrate on the fall [and elections to the State Duma]. We will use foreign policy methods to get him out of prison.
According to him, Navalny's team plans to make it so "that not a single world leader will talk with Putin about anything other than Alexei Navalny and his release."
- On February 2, a court in Moscow replaced Alexei Navalny's suspended sentence in the Yves Rocher case with a real one. In accordance with the court decision, the politician will have to spend two years and eight months in the colony.
- On January 23 and 31, mass actions were held in support of Navalny in dozens of Russian cities. On February 2, immediately after the verdict, his supporters took to the streets of Moscow and St. Petersburg. In total, over 10,000 people were detained during these actions, after which 50 criminal cases were initiated.
