More quotes by Alexei Navalny
Nobody wants a political prisoner, but a political emigrant is no problem.
Alexei Navalny
Xenophobia is fairly widespread in Russia.
Alexei Navalny
I'm on the very blackest part of the black list.
Alexei Navalny
Maybe Putin wanted to fire Medvedev , but how is he supposed to do that after my film?
Alexei Navalny
No opposition politician has ever taken responsibility for his or her election failures.
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
We now live in a country with a thousand political prisoners, a country where each week there are new trials, where people are put in jail because they liked something on the Internet.
Alexei Navalny
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.
Alexei Navalny
I am not ready to back away from my views.
Alexei Navalny
Our political leaders often talk about Russia taking an independent path, but they like to live like people in the West.
Alexei Navalny
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
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
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.
Alexei Navalny
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
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.
Alexei Navalny
Anyone who commits a xenophobic crime has to be brought to justice.
Alexei Navalny
People aren't really afraid of my views. They are just afraid of the word 'nationalism.'
Alexei Navalny
Politics is traditionally a male domain in Russia.
Alexei Navalny
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.
Alexei Navalny
Everyone needs to understand that my work addresses existing problems, and one of the crucial problems in Russia today is corruption.
