Russian Anti-War Politician Boris Nadezhdin Detained, Charged Over Navalny Image
Russian opposition figure Boris Nadezhdin, who sought to challenge Putin in 2024, was arrested and charged with displaying extremist symbols.
- Nadezhdin was taken to a police station Monday and charged with "displaying extremist symbols" over a reposted video featuring Alexei Navalny's image.
- He was designated a "foreign agent" by the justice ministry last week, preventing him from running in September's Duma elections.
