Russia

Russia is coming down hard on opposition leader Alexi Navalny. Navalny's political offices were shut down on Monday. Thousands of his followers were recently arrested, and courts in Moscow are now deciding whether to label them as extremists. Meanwhile, Navalny remains imprisoned in stable condition after a three-week hunger strike for better medical care. Why is president Vladimir Putin so afraid of Navalny?
