"He describes him as a thieving little man in a bunker going out of his mind because he failed to kill me, says No valley. I mean, he's personalized it on him. Alexei Navalny. He's also personalized it with Navalny versus Putin. Is that a mistake tactically, or do you think that that is cutting through? I actually think it's a brilliant tactics because it is true that a lot of people who went out were not and maybe still are not Never any supporters. They still think that it's too personal. But at the same time, the way now finally is treated, he becomes the symbol off that opposition. He's the global symbol off that opposition. And so what we see is that collective Putin of fighting one global navalny, and that is very brilliant tactic. I mean, his theater is incredibly original. I mean, there's a brilliant moment when he with his finger, he draws a heart on the glass that surrounds him in the dark as he's being sentenced. Which is aimed as his wife, who's watching him. It's a clever performance he's doing, but I want to know whether it appeals outside a metropolitan elite to use that phrase. I mean, you wrote a book just a couple of years ago, which took you across the 11 time zones of this vast country, and I don't know what the equivalent in Russia of Peoria, Illinois, is. But doesn't have only mean anything in Siberia. Absolutely. He means the load in Siberia because now, but one of the reasons so many people came out across Russia for novelty against Putin, in this sense is a symbol because he has all his anti corruption foundation centers all across Russia. So he has very many people on the ground who do support what he does, and I think the personal Because it is a beautiful like love story, so not only unlike small Putin, he's told his charismatic He's beautiful. He's well known. He's also in love with his wife. He also said to her, I heard you're being arrested a couple of times. Good girl. You've been a bad girl, Good girl. So it is. It's actually so the politics in the personal is the incredibly peeling story outside off. What 1 may think about Navalny. We suppose we were seeing in effect. I mean, I mentioned in the introduction He's Bean sent down for breaking his parole on a previous charge that many people agreed was a trumped up charge. Now he was actually unconscious following his poisoning when he left Germany. And that's what that's what he's being accused, which is just like kind of is just out of Gogol is just beyond absurd. But I want to ask you about just finally, the symbolism of a show trial. This was something that Nikita Christian off your great grandfather. Came out and said, This is something that is plainly wrong. It's victimized the Russian people. We're seeing a show trial here. But how is he dealing with the show trial? Navalny? Absolutely. It is a show trial in and it's amazing that you brought up go go because people watch it, and especially that video about the Putin Palace. He released that step so titty off you know, the power in Russia is very good goalie in and I think now finally really takes advantage off exactly the farce of the show trial that now the state essentially treats him like the stand and state was treating Trotsky so they're going to eliminate him at any cost with any absurd. Mentioning of when he made me not have done. We'll see how he will deal with it. He has three years they probably would extend it even further. They decide to, but so far he has really becoming more hero to the Russians who didn't care about him enough before, rather than less, And that's a threat to put him. That is a picture, I suppose of Alexey Navalny's position from Nina Khrushcheva, our chat about Gogol. There. We're talking about the right of the 19th. Century writer who's short stories kind of brought out the absurdity of elements of Russian life, in particular short story called the Knows about a man whose nose takes on a life of its owner ends up being promoted above him. Looking down its nose at him. That's the kind of thing we were chatting about. Thank you very much. Indeed. To Nina who I'm sure what mind if we underline again. She's the great granddaughter of Nikita Khrushchev. Since I don't get you know, onto Facebook and posted comments on that story. That interview is up there now, plenty off.

"Russia immediately release the opposition leader, Alexei Navalny on the hundreds, possibly thousands of detained supporters. The British prime minister. Described what the court ruled yesterday to jail the valley for 3.5 years as pure cowardice and a travesty off justice. Let's speak now to Thomas to do not Um, MP here in the UK with a special interest in this, So So what do you think off the jailing of Mr the Valley? First of all well as chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. I've bean following the corruption of Russia and its actions around the world for several years, And it does seem that 3.5 years prison for surviving an assassination attempt by your own country is the most extraordinary injustice. And the judges who claim to have sat in just in judgment over him really should think about the actions as tools of tyrants. I mean, he was very vocal from the dock in his criticism, very personal criticism off President Putin and we've seen mass protests across the country. We're hearing in the last cell. This program that roughly 50% of the people who turned out across the country had never protested before. What do you think's changing in Russia? Well, I think there's a real ization that is one of the richest men in the world. President Putin has robbed the Russian people now, for the best part 20 years he's estimated to have assets. North of $200 billion on the palace that was exposed. The blood that Alexander only exposed on the Black Sea Coast worth about a billion dollars is but a drop in the ocean off the wealth that Vladimir Putin has stolen off the Russian people. And I think people are increasing the aware of it on this is why we're seeing a growing unrest. Because people have finally had enough of the brutality of the Putin regime. The theft, the graft the corruption on D oligarchs. You have exploited them. What's the what? I mean, we've had Boris Johnson say, Release him. But what more can The U. K do other than that through. I guess, the U. N Security Council. There can be some kind of moves made on on the international stage. What is being considered? Well, there's more that could be done. If governments in the West we're willing to do it, the United Kingdom could on should decide to name people under the Magnitsky sanctions laws and freeze assets stolen from the Russian people hold him in trust and return them to the Russian people. When there's a lawful government, the European Union could do the same. The German government could stop the North Stream to project which is merely a tool of Russian expansion into Eastern Europe. You know, there are various Is that governments could do if they actually were willing to stand up to it. But sadly, people like that If I live in the U. K, though, haven't we? We have been rather slow in in reacting to that and responding to that in Being transparent on allowing Russian money to come into the country, namely the capital, London. We've been sitting on our hands on that one rather lot have we recent years. Well as chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee. We published a report in May 2018 called Moscow's gold You considered online on its freely available, calling out the ability of Russian oligarchs and thieves. Hide them money through the city of London. You're absolutely right. But actually, the European Union has done very little on this, too, and many other countries have been only too willing to hide Russian stolen loot. Don't take it out. Thank you for joining us. On news day, BBC World Service, Tom took it out their chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee here in the UK on Claire mentioned they're some of the amazing scenes in court, described by many as a bit of a show trial theme messages that the Valley was able to get out particularly very direct message to the man that he calls the thieving little man in his bunker. He's talking, of course about Vladimir Putin. Let's go back to the trial and how it's being seen in Russia. What it looked like Nina Khrushcheva was there. She is a writer on academic born in Russia, based in America, the most gone back to Russia, and she was there trying to observe the trial of Alexey Navalny what she managed to witness Actually, I didn't really make it to the courtroom. I was there early in the day, and there were police cordons all over and so I couldn't get through. I just saw people kind of trying to squeeze themselves in. But I was not fighting with police. I was not squeezing and not a hero. So I only saw people trying to push the police out. And then I left. So I was I just wanted to say I was not there. But I did go to the protests that well, sure, exactly. And from that point of view, what do you learn from the The spread of the opposition and the way that no valley has energized people who wouldn't even normally necessarily be his supporters. And that is, I think, is a very breaking point of nobody. You did change the equilibrium off How politics now is distributed in Russian because they were supported and there was some opposition and nobody was quite known. But he was a local opposition leader. And I think with the poisoning and then he's absolutely sure Oik returned almost out of a pure out of a fairy tale. He really presented the case of Putin needs to go away. So the whole Russian so about 50% off those thousands that went to the streets and over 100. Probably 100, plus many more hundreds 50 cities all across Russia in the last two weekends. They didn't go to projects before they were okay. And now we put the case to the public that Putin has been around for too long. He's also personalized immensely, not only in singling out Putin I mean in the speech that was released by his organization as well..

"It's morning edition from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep, and I'm Noel King. Good morning, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny appeared in Accord in Moscow this morning. TV footage showed him wearing a blue hoody and at times joking with his wife, Yuliya, joking despite the fact that this is a serious situation he's facing up to 3.5 years in jail for alleged parole violations. The European Court of Human Rights, says the conviction that led to him being on parole, though, was politically motivated. Nina Khrushcheva studies Russia at the new school in New York, but she's in Moscow today, and she's on the line now. Thanks for being with us. Thank you. What have you seen today? Are their protests there? Protests there. They're not very big, but it's hard to have big protests because everything is essentially blocked. Around the court when around the is in and I think about 230 people, including journalists were already have been already arrested and put in a special cars and be taken too. Places where they will be processed for participating in a protest, which is now because of covet or because of other things, Putin and never, really, basically now a crime. These protests have been happening throughout the country. As you say they're often small because it is dangerous to protest in Russia. But I wonder are they about Alexei Navalny? Or are they about something bigger? Or is it both? I think it's about both. I mean, it's something bigger. We just have to remind ourselves all the time that Putin has been in power for 20 years, which is a long, long time and the generation that is now mostly protesting. Uh, is exactly those 2018 years old people, So they only know Putin and assume I niece. Put it to me. She went to protest and she said, Well, I don't want to die. With Putin. I was born under Putin. So this is I think the major issue but it's also the navalny because he was really brilliantly able to bring forward in image of Russia, where Putin is not There and offered people some sort of a unity force. You know, we all went to unite around the hero and he is this kind of hero now. Almost mythical. He survived the poisoning. He came back. On. So it is also about Navalny as well. But it's also about the ossified, long lasting, very corrupt, absurd power that that really Russia has right now in the Kremlin. If Navalny this as you've described him, almost mythical hero if he does end up being sentenced to 3.5 years in prison What happens to the movement. Well, I'm actually It could be three to have 3.5 years, but I can't even imagine him getting 10 years. Oh, precisely Because Aziz you of course know Putin has another potentially 16 years in power. Yes, 16 years, And so if Putin does plan to stay on Then why leave certainly not necessary to kind of leave that oppositional movement but at the same time in prison, Not only is also a big problem for Putin because I don't think it doesn't seem that People are going to kind of get spooked and scared right now. That really had been too old this protest, and that's not what I'm seeing. In fact, if anything, the power looks more ridiculous by essential occupying its own city, blocking every single exit into the central Moscow and in other places on so I would imagine that it will continue every weekend with more people with less people. But that's a headache that the state is going to have. It is a headache. Is it frightening for Vladimir Putin? Or is he too powerful at this point to really be threatened by any of this? And what would your your young niece say to that question? I wonder Well, it is. I mean, it's kind of their three scenarios. And I know we have very little time so I will be very brief. So one of them all this is happening in the sixth Ridiculous way is to undermine Putin. People. A very those. The elites are very tired of him, and they want to embarrass him in front of the international community, and he will be quietly getting up. Then Putin went crazy. He's terrified he treats Navalny North is a great opposition figure, sort of on the level of injury soccer of the great Soviet Soviet human rights. Hero. But as Leon Trotsky he is, you know nobody's direct threat to his power, and therefore they're doing anything they can or nobody went crazy, and they actually using the absurd way they're treating Navalny and his Threat and no threat so they can tighten the screws. It would be more authoritarians society that it really has been. And Putin is preparing to stay on for a long time. Nina Khrushcheva. Thank you so much for your time this morning. Thank you.

TV footage showed him wearing a blue hoody and at times joking with his wife, Yuliya. Joking, despite the fact that this is a serious situation he's facing up to 3.5 years in jail for alleged parole violations. The European Court of Human Rights says the conviction that led to him being on parole, though, was politically motivated. Nina Khrushcheva studies Russia at the new school in New York. But she's in Moscow today, and she's on the line now. Thanks for being with us. Thank you. What have you seen today? Are their protests there? Their protests there. They're not very big, but it's hard to have big protests because everything is essentially blocked around. The court went around the is in and I think about 230 people. Including journalists were already have been already arrested and put in a special cars and be taken to places where they will be processed for Dissipating in a protest, which is now because of covet or because of other things put in and never, really, basically now a crime. These protests have been happening throughout the country. As you say they're often small because it is dangerous to protest in Russia. But I wonder are they about Alexei Navalny? Or are they about something bigger? Or is it both? I think it's about both. I mean, it's something bigger. We just have to remind ourselves all the time that Putin has been in power for 20 years, which is a long, long time and the generation that is now mostly pro testing. Uh, is exactly those 2018 years old people, So they only know Putin and assume I niece. Put it to me. She went to protest and she said, Well, I don't want to die. With Putin. I was born under Putin. So this is I think the major issue but it's also the navalny because he was really brilliantly able to bring forward an image of Russia where Putin is not There and offered people some sort of a unity force. You know, we all went to unite around the hero and he is this kind of hero now. Almost mythical. He survived the poisoning. He came back. On. So it is also about Navalny as well. But it's also about the ossified, long lasting, very corrupt, absurd power that that really Russia has right now in the Kremlin. If Navalny this as you've described him, almost mythical hero if he does end up being sentenced to 3.5 years in prison What happens to the movement. Well, I'm actually it could be 3.5 3.5 years, But I can't even imagine him getting 10 years precisely because Aziz. You, of course know Putin has another potentially 16 years in power. Oh, yes, 16 years, And so if Putin does plan to stay on Then I leave certainly not necessary to kind of lead that oppositional movement but at the same time in prison, Not only is also a big problem for Putin because I don't think it doesn't seem that People are going to kind of get spooked and scared right now. That really had been too old this protest, and that's not what I'm seeing. In fact, If anything, the power looks more ridiculous by essential occupying its own city, blocking every single exit into the Central Moscow and in other places on so I would imagine that it will continue every weekend with more people with less people. But that's a headache that the state is going to have. It is a headache. Is it frightening for Vladimir Putin? Or is he too powerful it? This point to really be threatened by any of this. And what would your your young niece say to that question, I wonder Well, it is. I mean, it's kind of their three scenarios. And I know we have very little time will be very brief. So one of them all this is happening in the city. Ridiculous way is to undermine Putin. People A very those. The elites are very tired of him, and they want to embarrass him in front of the international community, and he will be quietly getting out. Then Putin went crazy. He's terrified he treats Navalny North is a great opposition figure, sort of on the level of angry sucker of the great Soviet Soviet human rights. Hero. But as Leon Trotsky he is, you know, nobody needs direct threat to his power, and therefore they're doing anything they can or nobody went crazy and they actually using the absurd way they're treating Navalny and his Threat or no threat so they can tighten the screws. It would be more authoritarians society that it really has been. And Putin is preparing to stay on for a long time. Nina Khrushcheva. Thank you so much for your time this morning. Thank you.

Protests Over The Arrest Of A Popular Governor Continue For 3rd Week In Russia
"As protests over racial injustice continue to rage across the U. S. In Russia. Thousands of people are also taking to the streets for the 20th day in a row people in the far east of the country march to protest the arrest of a popular governor. Their anger was first directed at government bureaucrats in Moscow, 4000 miles away. away. But But now now That That anger anger is is increasingly increasingly directed directed at at President President Vladimir Vladimir Putin Putin himself. himself. That is the sound people protesting today, shouting Putin resigned. NPR's Lucy in Kim joins us now from Moscow. Hey, Lucy, In Hey! So who is this governor? I mean, why did his arrest spark these protests? His name is Sergei. For Gall. He's a local businessman who amazingly beat the pro Kremlin candidate in a landslide for governor of Khabarovsk region two years ago. And then earlier this month for goal was arrested by masked federal agents and taken to a Moscow prison where he's now in pretrial detention on charges of ordering contract killings 15 years ago. He says he's innocent. And ah lot of people in Khabarovsk have taken to the streets to support him. So if this governor is being charged with crimes for involvement in contract killings, why are people they're so upset? Well, People are upset because they feel Moscow has overruled their democratic choice, and they're also angry that he will stand trial there and not in Khabarovsk, Khabarovsk region, borders Thie, Pacific Ocean and China. And people there feel forgotten and neglected by the federal government in Moscow, I spoke with one protester. His name is Vitaly Blagojevich. And before the Corona virus pandemic he taught Russian at a Chinese university. I've been expecting that maybe the protease will go down. But every day when you come you our experience in the the Prudie's is going up every day. I'm happy. He says He didn't even vote. For for gall, but he's angry with the way that he's being treated. So do you think authorities are going to be cracking down on these protests? I mean, how long can they continue? The Kremlin finds itself in a tough position there so many protesters that they can't use force and throw everybody in jail. And if the Kremlin ignores a protest, they run the risk of other regions getting the same idea. I asked Nina Khrushcheva, Russia expert at the new school in New York, how dangerous she thinks the protests are they don't really have a leader in those protests are probably the most dangerous because if the cause is Moscow has too much power. They can really spread like wildfire, especially there in Siberia in the Far East. The protester I spoke to Vitaliy Blagojevich said he was really angry that some protesters were being called into the police. And he said, that's what brought him out every night this week. Saturday's have seen the biggest protests in Khabarovsk. Everybody will be watching what happens this weekend.
