Russian Government Clamps Down On Opposition After Election Loss

Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny casts his vote at a polling station during to the Moscow city Duma election in Moscow on September 8, 2019. Vasily MAXIMOV / AFPRussian investigators on Thursday raided dozens of regional offices of top protest leader Alexei Navalny, as well as the homes of his supporters, after mass opposition rallies this summer.

“That’s what we’re seeing in 41 cities across the whole country,” he added, looking tired and drawn in a video hastily shot on his mobile phone. Navalny has credited his strategic voting campaign for the ruling party’s loss of almost a third of its seats in the elections for Moscow city parliament. Police targeted activists across the country, from Russia’s westernmost exclave of Kaliningrad to the far eastern city of Vladivostok, Navalny’s aides said.

The office in the city of Perm, also in the Urals, reported that operatives climbed through the windows and then pulled the front door down.The raids came after Russian investigators in August launched a money-laundering probe into Navalny’s foundation, which seeks donations from the public, accusing it of taking money that was procured illegally.In early August, a Moscow district court froze 75 million rubles held in accounts by the foundation and staff members.
