More quotes by Alexei Navalny

Image
Our political leaders often talk about Russia taking an independent path, but they like to live like people in the West.
Alexei Navalny

People aren't really afraid of my views. They are just afraid of the word 'nationalism.'
Alexei Navalny

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev can no longer attend concerts by his favorite group Deep Purple without having to fear that the musicians will wear T-shirts with Pussy Riot written on them.

Image
I've been reading this little book. It's called the Russian constitution. And it says that the only source of power in Russia is the people. So I don't want to hear those who say we're appealing to the authorities. Who's the power here?

Image
I think very poorly of United Russia. United Russia is the party of corruption, the party of crooks and thieves. And it is the duty of every patriot and citizen of our country to make sure that this party is destroyed.

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

I'm concerned with protecting the legal system.

President Putin will run again in the 2018 election. He wants to be the czar of this new Russian empire that he is rebuilding. I think he is really obsessed with the idea.

Xenophobia is fairly widespread in Russia.

We should fulfill the Minsk Protocol. The main reason for the sanctions is that Russia broke a taboo: It triggered a war in Europe. Crimea is a problem, but the most painful part of the sanctions is tied to the war in the Donbas. As soon as Russia takes real steps to prevent shots from being fired there, this part of the sanctions will be lifted.

Everyone needs to understand that my work addresses existing problems, and one of the crucial problems in Russia today is corruption.
Alexei Navalny
Image
Unfortunately, people expect a Russian opposition politician to be a manic libertarian who thinks the oligarchs are great, who isn't interested in the problems of retirees and who believes the invisible hand of the market will resolve everything.
Alexei Navalny
Image
No opposition politician has ever taken responsibility for his or her election failures.
Alexei Navalny
Image
People often say that I represent people who earn a lot of money. Of course, a person who is well-educated and affluent is more likely to support me than Vladimir Putin. But that doesn't automatically mean that the others are against me.
Alexei Navalny
Image
Anyone who commits a xenophobic crime has to be brought to justice.
Alexei Navalny
Image
Putin has reversed all the liberalizing reforms carried out by his predecessor.
Alexei Navalny
Image
Russia spends enormous, senseless amounts of money on the army and the police. We have one of the top rankings in the world when it comes to the number of police officers - but when it comes to the number of murders, we are also right at the top.

Maybe Putin wanted to fire Medvedev , but how is he supposed to do that after my film?
Alexei Navalny
Image
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.
Alexei Navalny
Image
I don't know why, but Putin has made a ritual out of humiliating Medvedev. Sometimes I even feel sorry for the prime minister.
