Imprisoned Critic Navalny Taunts Prison Officials With Requests for Bizarre Items Including a Kangaroo

Navalny shared letters showing requests for kimonos, balalaikas, beetles and kangaroos.
The requests were denied by the maximum security penal colony where Navalny is serving 11 1/2 years.
The correspondence reveals the harsh conditions of the Russian prison system and absurd bureaucracy.
Navalny has spent almost 180 days in solitary confinement since last summer.
There have been calls for protests to support Navalny on his 47th birthday.
