Navalny Ally Ksenia Fadeyeva Sentenced to Nine Years in Prison

Fadeyeva's sentencing marks the latest move in Russia's crackdown on opposition figures associated with Alexei Navalny's 'extremist' Anti-Corruption Foundation.

Ksenia Fadeyeva, an ally of jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, has been sentenced to nine years in prison by a Russian court for running an 'extremist organization'.
Fadeyeva was the former head of Navalny's local headquarters in the Siberian city of Tomsk and also served as a city council member.
Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation, which Fadeyeva was associated with, was declared 'extremist' by Russian authorities in 2021, leading to the prosecution of its members.
Fadeyeva's sentencing is part of a broader crackdown on opposition figures in Russia, with many of Navalny's allies either in jail or forced to leave the country.
Navalny himself is currently serving a 19-year sentence on charges of extremism in a remote Arctic prison colony.
