Navalny - who is it? The Navalny brothers, Oleg and Alex (photo)

Russian opposition as a generalized social movement has a number of system defects. The disunity, the uncertainty in the estimates arising situations and their changes, a difference of political platforms and goals – here is a partial list of factors that influence the weakness of the forces opposing the existing government, which, however, all their leaders characterized as “criminal” and “bloody”. At the end of the first decade of the XXI century on the Russian political scene was under investigation – Bulk. Who is it, what are the ambitions of this figure and why he decided to lead the opposition movement? What are his goals, what he calls? Surveys conducted in Russia showed that half of the population don't even know who he is. It's time to fill this gap.

Opposition constructive and destructive

In modern Russia, protests have a certain social base, as in any other country. The ideal society has not yet managed to create any state dissatisfied are everywhere, and to use the unfavorable factors that is always seeking opposition. In fact, such is its political role, the criticism of the defects, even very angry, contributes to improving the work of state agencies. Several other objectives adhered to the opposition, which has set a destructive purpose. For example, the party of the Bolsheviks during the First world war in every way sought to weaken the state and destruction of its foundations. This was suitable for all funds, including undermining the defense, the use of money received from the enemy and direct sabotage. Every state, even positioning itself as the most democratic, has the right to fight the forces that seek to destroy it. Moreover, it is his duty to society. So what's the purpose in front of his political movement in modern Russia Alexei Navalny? Who is this movement supported and financed?

Early Russian opposition

The history of the modern Russian opposition begins at the very end of 80-ies. Most of its representatives sincerely struggled with the Communist regime, was in prison, serving links and proudly called themselves dissidents. Even then, it was divided into “wings” - left and right, but, regardless of the orientation welcomed the coming to power of democratic forces headed by B. N. Yeltsin. Not all opposition is quite consistent with the image of the jealous people's aspirations, and because there was the first problem. In the former USSR, meanwhile, the struggle for souls and power. Presidents and Prime Ministers in post-Soviet countries were people, trained in USA (this biographical fact was perceived by the public then it is positive). Russia was also preparing staff, obviously friendly to the West. Judging by the support provided, the best representatives of a set of promising democratic-liberal leaders in the United States was considered Mikhail Kasyanov, Boris Nemtsov or Grigory Yavlinsky.

Appearance

Opposition leaders like G. Novodvorskaya, Eduard Limonov and even the famous chess player Kasparov as a promising political figures did not consider, their images did not correspond to the depth of the task. But solid and experienced leaders in the Yeltsin-era, proven and loyal to the West, also did not fit. Against them spoke eloquently of the fact that the government they already had, and recently. Nothing good politicians and economists Yeltsin set of people were brought in, and that's not forgotten. Was to restart. Needed a new leader who managed to unite disparate opposition forces would have a certain charisma, high intelligence, sarcastic, ironic cast of mind and could articulate, in other words, would own audience. This person ideally should in fact be deprived of the past. And such a candidate was found, his name was Alexei Navalny. Who is this nobody knew. Just the author-the blogger. But the first step is the hardest.

Family opposition

The Parents of Alexei Medvedev – ordinary people. Father – a communications officer, a graduate of the Kiev military school. Mother studied in Moscow (Moscow Institute of management named after Ordzhonikidze). Born in 1976, son of a military future, and opposition is often changing cities and schools. Currently parents own a small company engaged in the manufacture of woven vines products. Have Alexis and a younger brother, Oleg, born in 1984, but about it later. Wife - Julia Borisovna. Two children, Daria (born 2001) Zachary (born in 2008). In General, the family as a family. Alexei Navalny lives in Maryino (Moscow district, not related to a particularly prestigious). Modesty is policy, especially the younger.

Study

After graduating from school at the Alabino military town the young man entered the Russian University of friendship of peoples, the law school which graduated from in 1998. Alexei Navalny managed to work in a Bank, and a year before graduation showed a craving for Commerce, becoming the founder of the company «Nesna" (Barber). It does not matter, the firm was sold, but the search for a better life continued. Youngpeople received the second higher education in penacademy under the Government of the Russian Federation, faculty of Finance and credit, becoming a specialist in stock exchange business and securities. Thirst for learning was evident again in 2010, when he managed to go for six months training course (grant program “Yale World Fellows”) in the United States at Yale University. Recommendation beginner policy gave the venerable Russian opposition E. Albats, A. Tsyvinski, Sergei Guriev and Kasparov. Them in America knew their words heeded.

Career

OOO “Elect” was registered in 1997 as agent of opposition of the PCA. Doing it is, its activity was not very successful, despite the fact that “Right” paid for her services the sum of nearly one hundred million rubles, of which five per cent received as remuneration of the Deputy Director of the Navalny. Who is deemed a violation of the law or financial discipline? Currently, OOO “Elect” eliminated. The same fate befell a legal company «N. N. Securities”, co-founder of which was Alexey and his friends on going to law school. Since 2001, OOO «Eurasian transport system”, in which creation participated the Bulk, provides logistics and transportation services. The company is also self-destructed. In 2009, he became a lawyer, passing the exam in the city of Kirov, and even spent two of the process. In the same period have long existed company “Bulk & partners». In 2012, his promoted to a responsible position in the «Aeroflot» Lebedev, who owns Bank NRB. In the election of protégé promised to wage a relentless fight against corruption. A year Navalny Alexey Anatolievich left the post, apparently, not on their own.

The Beginning of a great policy

Showing great energy in business, Alexey was engaged in political activities. The fight against corruption – a win-win deal, they can do indefinitely, and evaluate the performance very difficult. “the Committee for protection of Muscovites» in 2004 he carried out this difficult work useful to society. Since 2005, it included a youth care (movement «Yes!”) and the leadership of the movement «the police and the people”. Political career began in collaboration with the Governor of the Kirov region N. White (external adviser) and the Fund for the support of its initiatives.

Then it was “Apple” (member of the Board) and the post of head of the Moscow party organization. In 2007, Navalny Alexey Anatolievich was the scandal expelled from the party for extreme nationalism. He explained this incident with its confrontation with Yavlinsky.

Nationalism

The national idea - it is almost as winning as the fight against corruption, especially in combination with democratic slogans. In Moscow from time to time was one or the other carefully staged “Russian” March. Bulk it was possible to see almost all of them. By 2013, however, unnecessary scandal (ziguyuschie raging, young people and other bullies have created an unfavorable background), have prompted policy temporarily to refuse participation in mass actions of a nationalist orientation. Criticism of “the Putin regime” has become the main direction of the movement “People”, which, however, was not so numerous as might be desired by its creators. Navalny, a photo that has already published almost all the media, tried to unite its organization to the «Other Russia», but was rejected. However, the image of an uncompromising fighter against corruption is already established, at the election of the mayor, the opposition candidate went on «silver». But then suddenly something came up «Yves Rocher», significantly spoil the heroic image.

Fraternal

Oleg Navalny, brother of opposition, worked as a specialist in automation and head of the Department of internal shipments to “Russian Post”, and then decided to start your business in 2013 resigned. That he was able to convince the representatives of the company «Yves Rocher» do not use more of a public service (and it obviously really worked well), and trust your shipments, receiving private firm HPA, actually owned by his own brother. The price of course was higher, but the reliability… at least, claimed Oleg Navalny. And obtained the favor of foreigners. In fact, no one was going to carry letters, packets and parcels. Receiving the cargo for shipment, the Navalny brothers were farmed out to a troublesome thing to other transport enterprises, taking for the services is much less. Some time this simple scheme was successfully operated, but all the secret sooner or later becomes apparent. Whether the terms have not been met, or will be lost, but the French became suspicious. Then they filed a claim and rolled. A total of Navalny brothers cheated their customers 24 million. The case went to trial and received international publicity. Immediately the protests began in connection with the harassment of the opposition in Russia.

Punishment

The court's Verdict is not too severe. In Soviet times, for such could easily be shot, and only true “ten” shone even in Gorbachev's rule, when you could almost everything. Oleg Navalny received real term of 3.5 years and his brother –anti-corruption opposition leader and a champion of honesty - got probation. The court apparently took into account his merits in the fight against theft. More accomplices will have to pay 4 800 000 rubles fine. We have to understand a little thing will not be found.

Reaction to the case

Of Course, the liberal community and is now trying to convince the Russian population that the struggle with the regime suffered the Bulk. The meeting followed the meeting during consideration of the case, then the activity decreased but the zero level is not reached today. The image of the victim has always caused mass show compassion in our country, besides many of the statements of the disgraced politician evoke a warm response in the hearts of people. Indeed, not all right in Russia with the migration legislation, and other problems.

Who is to blame?

The Navalny Case exaggerated Pro-Western and liberal media, it is called fraudulent, but participation in it defrauded foreign defendants significantly undermines the position of defenders of civil liberties.

There's nothing sweeter for the leader of the Russian opposition than the feeling of victimhood, combined with the rebellion. It is in this direction showed the emotions of Alexei Navalny. Photo defiantly cut them with an electronic bracelet circled the Internet in early 2014 after a conditional sentence came into force and the need for house arrest disappeared. This device is really to remove for some reason just did not have time - and here it is, the reason for the protest. Reaction “princes”, however, was not followed.

Another reason will appear on the TV screen was the murder of Boris Nemtsov. On this tragic event responded to many of the leaders of “motion of dissent”, including K. Sobchak and Alexei Navalny. The rally, planned for the next day, actually was a failure. The blame for the death of Nemtsov, the opposition habitually imposes on Putin.

He believes that to govern the country more successful after the victory in the next presidential election.
