Arte documentary about Alexej Navalny – media

What did Alexei Navalny stand for, apart from opposing Putin? A documentary attempts to get closer to the opposition figure who has just died.

It’s 2011, tens of thousands of people are moving through Russian cities. The country previously learned that Vladimir Putin was returning to the presidency and replacing his placeholder Dmitry Medvedev. And then the Duma elections were also said to have been falsified. Right in the middle of the mass demonstrations: blogger Alexei Navalny. He angrily shouts from a stage that people should call him an “Internet hamster”. “I’ll bite the bastards’ throats.”
