Alexey NavalnyOverviewHe has called Mr Putin's party a place of "crooks and thieves", accused the president's system of "sucking the blood out of Russia" and vowed to destroy the "feudal state" being built. He has led nationwide protests against the authorities. But he has not been able to fulfil what is, perhaps, his biggest dream: challenge Mr Putin in the ballot box. His candidacy in the 2018 presidential election was banned by authorities over his conviction by a Russian court of embezzlement, which bars him from running for office. Mr Navalny vehemently denies the accusations, saying his legal troubles are Kremlin reprisals for his fierce criticism.First airedJuly 24, 2013URL slug346783-showGenresRealityNewsDocumentaryTalk ShowArtworkPosterBackgroundNo imageIconBannerSeasonsSpecials42 episodesSeason 201317 episodesSeason 20147 episodesSeason 20159 episodesSeason 201652 episodesSeason 2017111 episodesSeason 201878 episodesSeason 201946 episodesSeason 202030 episodesSeason 20211 episodeCast & crew
