This event examines Alexei Navalny’s continued influence over Russia’s domestic and foreign affairs.

The detention of Alexei Navalny in January 2021 was a major blow to Russia’s political opposition, and a marked escalation in the personal conflict between Navalny and Vladimir Putin. Yet, despite his incarceration and the dismantling of his political network, Navalny and his ideas remain a major part of the modern Russian political system.
 
Accompanying the publication of the book Navalny: Putin’s Nemesis, Russia’s Future?, this event examines Alexei Navalny and his politics the day after the September State Duma elections. The speakers will discuss whether Navalny’s political movement affected the Kremlin’s Duma election strategy, and how he continues to be Russia’s second most important political figure, even from behind bars. They will also examine how his imprisonment has affected the Kremlin in its international affairs.

This event will be held in person at Chatham House and online. Registration is open to the invited experts and Chatham House members.
