Opposition critic decries extended jail term as ‘Stalinist’ and calls on Russians to resist Putin regime
A court in Russia has extended Alexei Navalny’s prison sentence by 19 years, the opposition leader’s supporters said, citing the judge at a court hearing.
Navalny, 47, once led street protests against the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, built a nationwide political opposition, and revealed salacious details of Kremlin officials’ corrupt lifestyles.
