I encourage all my colleagues to run for office themselves. But it has become extremely difficult in this system to become a prominent opposition politician. I no longer have any rivals to have a debate with. I need competition. And the people will soon tire of me. They say: Navalny, It's always just Navalny. We want to see someone new.

Putin has reversed all the liberalizing reforms carried out by his predecessor.

Without any doubt, I am striving for power.

Foreign countries should impose sanctions against Putin's corrupt network.

For 17 years, elections in Russia have followed the same pattern: Nobody criticizes Putin, nobody runs a real election campaign, the whole process takes place quietly over a period of two months. The Kremlin blocks every alternative to Putin. He doesn't want a candidate who will travel through the country and speak loudly about Russia's problems.

Everyone needs to understand that my work addresses existing problems, and one of the crucial problems in Russia today is corruption.

Nobody wants a political prisoner, but a political emigrant is no problem.
