More quotes by Alexei Navalny

Image
Everyone needs to understand that my work addresses existing problems, and one of the crucial problems in Russia today is corruption.
Alexei Navalny
Image
Xenophobia is fairly widespread in Russia.
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.

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

Image
Politics is traditionally a male domain in Russia. Until now, women have only been accessories. Now, female protest groups are emerging - not because men came up with the idea, but through their own efforts. That's something new for Russia.

I am not ready to back away from my views.
Alexei Navalny
Image
I'm only sort of a politician.
Alexei Navalny
Image
When men are arrested without any legal basis and for political reasons, it's merely a routine, everyday occurrence in Russia, and hardly anyone has any sympathy.
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.
Alexei Navalny
Image
No opposition politician has ever taken responsibility for his or her election failures.
Alexei Navalny
Image
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.

Consistency for me is everything.

Foreign countries should impose sanctions against Putin's corrupt network.
Alexei Navalny
Image
Putin has reversed all the liberalizing reforms carried out by his predecessor.
Alexei Navalny
Image
Anyone who commits a xenophobic crime has to be brought to justice.
Alexei Navalny
Image
I'm on the very blackest part of the black list.
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.
Alexei Navalny
Image
People don't believe in positive changes anymore.
Alexei Navalny
Image
Putin and his advisers don't understand the power of public opinion in the West. They believe in conspiracy theories and that someone is orchestrating a malicious campaign against Russia. They don't realize that even conservative politicians have to react when newspapers and artists express their concern on such an issue.
