Alexei Navalny – who fought against corruption and staged massive anti-Kremlin protests as one of Vladimir Putin’s biggest foes – has died in a Russian prison.
He had been serving a 19-year prison sentence and was just 47 years old.
His death today brings new criticism towards the Russian president less than a month before an election that is all but certain to give him another six years in power.
Joining us to discuss more about the shocking news of Navalny’s death is Jaro Bilocerkowycz – political science professor at the University of Dayton.
