Navalny Forgotten: the politician's significant decline in the politician’s visibility and recognition over the past 11 months appears to be yet another paradox of wartime public opinion
The drop in Alexei Navalny's 'recognisability' over the course of the last year, from 86% to 77%, appears to be yet another paradox in wartime opinion polling. Recognition of Navalny has fallen the most among younger respondents. At the same time, 90% of respondents were also aware that Navalny is in prison. Among those polled by the Levada Center, the number of those who approve of Navalny has also fallen, from 20% in 2020-2021 to 9% in January 2023.
