Navalny is banned from appearing on state television, but has used social media to his advantage. A 2017 documentary accusing Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev of corruption garnered more than 30 million views on YouTube within two months.
He was arrested and imprisoned repeatedly. The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Russia violated Navalny’s rights by holding him under house arrest in 2014. Election officials barred him from running for president in 2018 over his conviction for embezzlement that he claims is politically motivated. Navalny told the committee that its decision would be a vote “not against me, but against the 16,000 people who have nominated me; against 200,000 volunteers roamed me“.

French newspaper Le Monde reported on Tuesday, citing unnamed sources, that Russian President Vladimir Putin had told his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron that Navalny was “an Internet troublemaker” who might have poisoned himself.
Navalny mocked the claim in a post on Instagram. He wrote, “I cooked Novichuk in the kitchen, sipped the bottle in the plane and fell into a coma.” “But Putin outdid me … In the end, I spent 18 days in a coma like an idiot but failed to achieve my goal.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday that Le Monde had misinterpreted the call and that her report was “inaccurate”. He said Navalny was free to return to Russia “like any other Russian citizen” and in line with the Kremlin’s agreement not to use his name, he said he welcomed the news that “the patient is already getting better.”

It was not clear if Navalny would return to Russia immediately. Previously, he said he intended to return as soon as possible. “No other options have been considered,” his spokeswoman, Kira Yarmisch, said last week.
