How Alexei Navalny became Putin's greatest threat
Navalny's movement is unlike any in recent history.

In 2006, a lawyer named Alexei Navalny started a blog where he wrote about corruption in his home country of Russia. It’s the most prominent problem under the regime of Vladimir Putin, who has ruled Russia since 2000. Putin has systematically taken over the country’s independent media, oligarchy, elections, and laws to cement his own power and wield corruption to his advantage.
That’s what Navalny set out to expose. And in 2010, he published a groundbreaking investigation into a state-owned transportation company, Transneft, which was funneling state money into the hands of its executives. The post launched Navalny into politics.
By 2016, he had become the face of Russia’s opposition movement, run for mayor, and was running for president against Putin himself. Navalny was unifying Russia’s opposition like no politician had before. That’s why the Kremlin tried to kill him. Navalny survived the assassination attempt, launching a movement never before seen in Russia.

man this was super helpful. I made a video about Navalny but it was a totally different approach, much more about Navalny's videos and style not so much his history. All this context is vital for understanding Navalny and Russia generally. Amazing job Sam and team!

RIP Nawalny, the last hope for Russia. Even in the most hopeless situations he was strong. He may be dead, but this man will always be a legend. 🕊️ *Мы не боимся*
Nobody in Russia trusted this guy. He is hero only in West news! Nobody trust, respect or hope for anything from this KZhead blogger. He wasn’t even a politician, he was trying to get some attention and west media made some noise around him. Russian people trust, love and hope only Putin!

@@derrindouglas1936 I doubt that but I bet it was nowhere near sinister as what putin has done AND still doing.
I think you missed an important point. When he returned to Russia, his plane was diverted to another airport so the media that was waiting for him, couldn't cover his arrest.
@@Snake101Gaming Your mum
Also the first hospital he was taken to ran tests and the doctor told him they couldn't figure out what was wrong. There was a government official there that tried to prevent his wife from seeing him. Eventually he was flown out of the country to Germany where doctors ran tests and immediately knew he was poisoned.
@@dspecter1187 Just wanted to add that there was actually one doctor in the russian hospital, who found out that he was poisoned and gave him the right treatment. That's why Navalny survived. The doctor died a few weeks ago of a "heart attack", even though he didn't have any issues before. The chief of the hospital, who told the media that they couldn't find any evidence that Navalny was poisoned, on the other hand got a huge promotion and is now part of the local government. What a coincidence...

I live in Russia and I want to thank you for this video. The more publicity around Navalny in the world, the more chances Navalny has to survive in prison. I know English rather poorly, so I translated the text in a translator.

@@electro6202 Thank you very much!
I'm from Germany and I have a detail to add. After it became publicly known that Nawalny had been poisoned, the minister of foreign affairs of Russia implied that actually Naealny had been poisoned in the German hospital where his life has been saved. Unimaginable.
They said it, yes, but they didn’t want to give out the labor results, just like Austria. Strange, isn’t it??
No surprise there, Putin's quite good at post-truth and chaos play. The more diversions, the easier it is to lose track of the actual facts.
Yeah because he left Russia not poisoned and in germany he became poisoned (presumably). So conclusion is obvious - he was poisoned (presumably) in Germany.
Why didn't Germany give asylum to Assange? You Germans better be quiet
@@vkurnosenkov6515 Or you know, they didn't diagnose him as poisoned so that he dies without the public knowing that it was poison. Basic Russian Government protocol right here.
May he rest in peace. He may no longer be alive, but his legacy will live on.
I STAND WITH NAVALNY 🙌🏼
No matter your opinion on Vox gotta admit their animation team kills it every time with the simple but effective presentation style.
This whole video is disinformation. Navalny is a far-right blogger, not a politician. Gennedy Zyuganov is the official opposition leader in Russia. Amnesty International took away Navalny's prisoner of conscious status while simultaneously sharing his blatantly racist videos. He is a racist, and Vox is pushing him because they only create disinformation.

@@GenerationZ313 the king is at the top of the pyramid, the top of the top but everything can fail with one card, the ace
By the way... I don't know if there are any parallels in Western culture. But in Russia suit of Diamonds means "criminal". Because in XIX century criminals were sentenced to hard labour in Siberia, got clothing with red or yellow rhombus on its back as a shooting target in case of an escape.
it's not. Novalny has support in single digets, and isn't by any means a person with support large enough to be named ace in russian power dynamics
My fantasy is that of Presidents Navalny and Zelenskyy shaking hands in peacetime.
Not the best dream, at least for simple Russians. Navalny will ruin our country just as Putin did. But not with war as Putin was doing, but with such things as LGBTQ, BLM and all that stuff that isn't supported by regular Russians.

It was Russian doctors who saved and stabilized Navalny and it was the Russian government that allowed Navalny to go for further treatment to Germany on private plane in a middle of pandemic.

The Russian government literally broke two rules just for Navalny's sake (one rule and one law)! The fact that you cannot travel abroad when you are serving a suspended sentence (that is the LAW) and the fact that there was no travel for anyone else due to the pandemic! The Russian government had perfect plausible deniability and instead they allowed him to go (after they had already treated and stabilized him in Russia)!

@@digitalminister5687 not really how it works. All of the investigations are based on the publicly available documents. In fact, the stakes are high so any use of "secret information" would bring them right to jail. Even without it they had recurrent "checks" of all their devices by FBS when they took it from their offices, never returning them back, and new devices were only bought using donations from the public. Even considering all FBK (Navalny's foundation) cautious, they are still going to be deemed "extrimist aka terrorist organization" organisation probably next week due to their protests.

@@Liziqks A real shame too. He wasn't perfect, but he represented change for Russia. A Russia free from tyranny and oligarchy.
RIP Alexei Navalny (1976-2024) He built a movement that outlasted his life
Alexei: exists Putin: I think you should reconsider your choices
😂😂🤣
Omg😂
RUSSIANS people really wish that Putin successfully jailed Navalny!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a Russian, I really appreciate the time you took to make this video. Thank you. The world needs to know.

Russia can’t catch a break with all those bad leaders, i feel bad for Russian.
Putin is definitely not a bad leader
@@shafi6576 Right, he's an awful one
@@sergegordeev9426 better than any leader in any country
@@lordium1848 Why do you think so?
@@sergegordeev9426 why?
In fact, more than 10,000 people were arrested during peaceful protests this January, not just 5000.
Don't stop. Let say 5 millions or billions.
@@astroantares 9700 people were arrested, that’s a confirmed number
OK , lets call them peacefull! The only issue I have with this protests is, ALL PUBLIC GATHERINGS WERE BY LAW PROHIBITED DURING COVID PANDEMIC!!!!!!!!
@@someunknownuser why not 48970 or 137894. please don't stop. 678551 massacred by tanks and machine guns, maybe? Or 1000 002 bombed from space battlestations, huh?

Good idea)
6 months from now
They still need to find a black women for acting as Putin
@Danos and also a feminist
@@wesoneakalN she must be a lizard because lizards deserve rights also have all the religions
Such a selfless person
If navalny comes as the president then the world will we in peace and not for war,COMN NAVALNY,YOU CAN DO IT
He knows this is bigger than himself. admirable.
Yes.
Yes. The energy and fuel is there. It just need that spark and air to get it going.
And now he is moved to an "Undisclosed Location" 🙄 4 hours ago
Probably being tortured to rescind all of his previous comments
Ah yes they moved him to Putins Palace right 😂🤷♂️
He will disappear and world leaders will look away. We all are at there mercy.
If anything happens the world is watching Pooting. 💨 He stinks
@@thefpvlife7785 when will we learn that the world leaders are in on it.
RIP Navalny
God please protect Nalvany and bless him. In jail innocently. I can't imagine one man control Russia as if its her personal property. I pity the good Russian people
Russian people love Poutin, do you love your president, don 't talk for other poeple
I love how putin is a king and Alexey is an Ace. Ace always beats the king
Yes 🙌🏻
I thought that too
Common sense tho
putin is best
when ace is high
As a Chinese, I really hope someone like this Russian lawyer to stand out, there were people like him but they either got locked up or disappeared.
Apparently, the chinese people only " tolerate " the regime because it brings economic growth/ prosperity. You just need that to not go well and... man i want to see what's gonna happen, it's gonna be juicy !
@@Spido68_the_spectator covid was brought to the world exactly by usage of particular tools typical for this regime. remember the story of the first covid whistle blower? if it's considered well, then I don't know what is bad.
@@Spido68_the_spectator Yeah and then the West will humiliate China for another century. This will never happen again.
Get your own country be right
There’s no good or bad in politics. Think about Russia’s recent history 1999

Power doesn't corrupt. Power reveals what was already there. Absolute power reveals absolutely.
@@bogregz and what was already there is corruption
If you're already corrupted, it's not like power is the one corrupting, eh?
@@bogregz power is what feeds corruptions into effect, without power there is no corruption.
You just said the complete opposite of what you originally said.
I like how he use the cards to explain simple, easy , and yet still learning
And here in India Narendra Modi is following Putin's steps.....he worships him.
Свободу политзаключённым!
*Согласен!*

Watching this video after seeing the thumbnail many times but ignored, now that he died i want to know who he is/was
Alexi spread the message within Russia. Now it is up to us to spread the message throughout the world.
And 30k people (out of 145M) attended recent protests for sure got the message.
but how?
@@user-ux7rw8fs3d Around 200k attended protests. 11k were arrested. Protests in Russia are brutal. Protesters are peaceful but they are heavily suppressed by the police.
@@dach7247 ok, 200k protestors out of 145M total population. It is slightly above 0.1%. Great support!
@@user-ux7rw8fs3d They were the largest protests since 90s. People are scared to protest - they can be arrested, beaten, fined, fired (especially if they are government employees), expelled from university.
its wise to plant a tree even though you may never see the shade others will

Great queto
The card animation is brilliant
Navalny is by no means a great person, but if he's got the guts to stand up to Putin, then I stand behind him. Nothing's worse than Putin.
People like Navalny always screams "I can fix this country" and promises many societal changes and improvements for the people but once they are now in charge of the government, they start ruining things way worst than the old regime they replaced. That happens many times in human history particularly in Russia under Boris Yeltsin, many Russians are now regretting why they put Yeltsin in power in the first place. Navalny is a Yeltsin, but a Yeltsin not yet elected in office that's why he still looks like a good man until now.
@@olidojosephd.9054 You act as if Putin is the best option, and yet I implore you to think of two things: Isn't that what Putin did? And how much worse can things possibly get?
@@TBH-nu2so Exactly, besides putin has been ruling for far too long for a president and the elections are not even held fair. Change should be embraced to adapt as the world evolves, putin is getting old and refuses to get out of his 20 century mentality. It's obvious by how much Russia declines financially that he has no idea nor he cares how to move his country forward.
i like how the title changed from "Why Putin Wants Alexei Navalny Dead" to "How Alexei Navalny became Putin's greatest threat".
*why Putin killed*
@@bakeski11 don’t finish that sentence
