More quotes by Alexei Navalny

Image
Russia should join the international coalition against Islamic State. It is absurd that we are intervening on the side of the Shiites in a war between Sunnis and Shiites even though almost all Russian Muslims are Sunnis. Putin is creating big problems for us in his attempt to help Bashar Assad.

People don't believe in positive changes anymore.
Alexei Navalny
Image
Our political leaders often talk about Russia taking an independent path, but they like to live like people in the West.

Life makes no sense if you have to tolerate endless lies. I will never accept this system, which is built on lies, i will not stop my fight against this junta.

I'm concerned with protecting the legal system.

For 17 years, elections in Russia have followed the same pattern: Nobody criticizes Putin, nobody runs a real election campaign, the whole process takes place quietly over a period of two months. The Kremlin blocks every alternative to Putin. He doesn't want a candidate who will travel through the country and speak loudly about Russia's problems.

I am different from Putin, that Russia should not isolate itself. Everything that happens in our country is justified through Syria or Ukraine. But when one's own citizens only make 300 euros, one can't have much clout in foreign policy.

I don't know why, but Putin has made a ritual out of humiliating Medvedev. Sometimes I even feel sorry for the prime minister.
Alexei Navalny
Image
I'm not going to appeal to violence or aggression - of course not.
Alexei Navalny
Image
Putin has reversed all the liberalizing reforms carried out by his predecessor.

People hate politicians. And I can understand why.
Alexei Navalny
Image
I encourage all my colleagues to run for office themselves. But it has become extremely difficult in this system to become a prominent opposition politician. I no longer have any rivals to have a debate with. I need competition. And the people will soon tire of me. They say: Navalny, It's always just Navalny. We want to see someone new.

Putin needs to terrorize his own elite. He is more afraid of those in his own surroundings than any protests there are people there who are at least as critical as I am because they see up close that the system doesn't work. He wants to silence them.

Foreign countries should impose sanctions against Putin's corrupt network.

As far as I know, the people who are against my candidacy now have the upper hand in the Kremlin. They say: Who knows what the election result will be? We already made that mistake once. And they are also afraid of all the things I would say if they let me run.

Everyone needs to understand that my work addresses existing problems, and one of the crucial problems in Russia today is corruption.
Alexei Navalny
Image
I've always seen my campaigns against corruption as political work of a purer form than what opposition leaders usually do. All they do is hold roundtables and release political statements, which is all well and good. But there are concrete things that need to get done in order to achieve the basic goal of every opposition politician.

Politics is traditionally a male domain in Russia.

Certain people have wanted to put me behind bars for a long time now. That's part of my work. If I were afraid, I couldn't do what I do.

Anyone who commits a xenophobic crime has to be brought to justice.
