Vladimir Putin Faces Mass Russia Protest as Alexei Navalny Disappears in Prison System
On 4/7/21 at 1:30 PM EDT
Russia could witness protests this spring surpassing those that rocked the country following the arrest and jailing of Alexei Navalny, an ally of the Kremlin critic has said.
It comes amid local media reports that Navalny, who is serving a 2.5-year jail term, has been taken from his prison colony in the Vladimir region to an undisclosed location.
By Wednesday afternoon, nearly 400,000 people had registered their intention on the Free Navalny website to attend demonstrations in support of the Putin critic.
Leonid Volkov, who heads Navalny s regional headquarters network, said in a series of tweets that this level of support suggested that the turnout would be greater than for the demonstrations in January, which were followed by a brutal crackdown and over 11,000 arrests.
