Alexei Navalny: Russia's web-savvy anti-corruption campaigner
Anti-corruption campaigner Alexei Navalny has cemented his status as leader of Russia's opposition movement by organising the largest unauthorised protest in recent years against President Vladimir Putin's rule. The clean-cut 40-year-old lawyer, who has harnessed the power of the Internet to get his message to young and educated Russians, was arrested at Sunday's demonstration in Moscow and sentenced to 15 days behind bars for his alleged insubordination to police. Last year, in his most ambitious move yet, he announced he would run for president in 2018, an election that Putin is expected to dominate.
