Who is the leader of Russia for whom people came out on the streets against Putin even in snowfall?
Alexei Navalny, the leader who raised his voice against Vladimir Putin, is in custody. There is so much anger in the Russian public against it that even in icy weather, it is standing on the streets.
Protesters descended on the streets to protest against Russian President Vladimir Putin. They are demanding the release of Alexei Navalny, the anti-Putin leader. It is being speculated that this is the strongest protest against Putin. Even in many places, the police had to use force on the protesters.
In fact, soon after being taken into custody on Sunday, Navellani raised her voice for her release. After this, people came out of the streets from Moscow to Russia, regardless of the heavy snowfall. According to the arrest-monitoring group ‘OVD-Info, 3100 people have been detained in 109 cities across the country so far. Let us know that Russia is among the coldest countries in the world, where the temperature is currently going from -20 to -50. So what is the reason, which has created such a huge public outcry against Putin for this adversary?
About 45-year-old Alexey is considered a strong critic of President Putin. He has been continuously opposing corruption in Putin’s United Russia Party. In June of 2002 itself, Alexi had called the rebellion on constitutional reforms a rebellion and said that it was a violation of the constitution. Let us know that Putin’s current term is to end in the year 2024. However, in June last year, he got the country level voting on constitutional reforms. This allows them to remain in power for the next 16 years even after 2024. Alexi described it as a direct violation of the Constitution and was constantly criticized.
This is not the first time Alexi has been vocal against Putin. He has run several campaigns in Russia against corruption and has been jailed many times. In 2011, he talked about corruption of Putin’s party. He alleged that the party had rigged the votes in the parliamentary elections. After this charge, he was sent to jail for 15 days. Even in the year 2013, he has gone to jail. Then Alexi himself was accused of corruption, although his supporters said that he was being implicated for bringing government corruption to the fore.
Opponents of Putin and now public also believe that Putin has a hand in the constant attacks on Alexi. Let us know that Alexei was reportedly poisoned in the last months of the year 2020, due to which he remained in a coma for months. He was undergoing treatment in Germany and recently returned to Russia after long treatment, but was taken into custody as soon as he returned.
In communist country Russia, speaking out against Putin is the biggest danger in itself. Alexi has been facing these dangers so his popularity is not less. He is considered the star of social media. They have been using social media much better for their movements.
He has 3.79 million subscribers on YouTube. Twitter has about 2.5 million followers. Alexi keeps posting videos and many things on his blog, YouTube and Twitter which show corruption in the government department. In 2012, the American newspaper Wall Street Journal called Alexei the person from Russia, which Putin is the most feared.
The situation now seems to have remained the same. Regarding Alexi who has been jailed in protest against Putin, the administration is not saying what is Alexi’s crime. The same thing is provoking Alexi supporters. While sitting in jail, Alexi is somehow connecting with his loved ones and is constantly calling for his release.
In between, they are also getting videos of Putin’s life full of corruption and luxury. Like on Tuesday, a video allegedly showed Putin Palace. Located on the banks of the Black Sea, this property is Russia’s most luxurious private property. There has been constant speculation about this, this is Putin’s home. Alexi has secretly got the palace video uploaded, after which the anger of the people has come out openly on Putin.
