Abstract

Demonstrations have been held across Russia in support of Alexei Navalny, who was arrested by Russian authorities on 17 January. Oleg Chupryna argues that while Navalny’s arrest was the trigger for the current protests, the root of the public’s anger lies in the country’s deteriorating economic situation and the growing inequality that exists between ordinary citizens and the ruling elite.
