In Russia an authoritarian leader is running the country. You can't fight Putin with elections because he controls them. That's why demonstrations are the most effective approach. Unfortunately Russia has sunk to this primitive level.

More quotes by Alexei Navalny
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.
Alexei Navalny
Everyone says corruption is everywhere, but for me it seems strange to say that and then not try to put the people guilty of that corruption away.
Alexei Navalny
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.
Alexei Navalny
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.
Alexei Navalny
Maybe Putin wanted to fire Medvedev , but how is he supposed to do that after my film?
Alexei Navalny
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
People don't believe in positive changes anymore.
Alexei Navalny
Foreign countries should impose sanctions against Putin's corrupt network.
Alexei Navalny
I'm not going to appeal to violence or aggression - of course not.
Alexei Navalny
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.
Alexei Navalny
Nobody wants a political prisoner, but a political emigrant is no problem.
Alexei Navalny
No opposition politician has ever taken responsibility for his or her election failures.
Alexei Navalny
People hate politicians. And I can understand why.
Alexei Navalny
Everyone needs to understand that my work addresses existing problems, and one of the crucial problems in Russia today is corruption.
Alexei Navalny
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.
Alexei Navalny
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.
Alexei Navalny
I'm only sort of a politician.
Alexei Navalny
Consistency for me is everything.
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.
Alexei Navalny
Politics is traditionally a male domain in Russia.
