If you believe Russia Wiki - good luck! No, they did not return. He told about it for Radio Svoboda. Yes, Mr. Navalny page is good for some information but it may not be sufficient for everyone.

Everyone can challenge usage of Prominent. He was prominent since his work and opinions are source for many Western experts in Russia. He was considered an expert on the Kremlin regime. He was often correct in his predictions regarding nominations in Kremlin. I do not see any reason to challenge accuracy of the description of his figure on Russian political scene as a prominent.

Thank you for critical reading of the article. I am still convinced it provides the best information you can find in English.

The Merriam-Webster's definition for prominent is as follows:

Mr. Pribylovsky is neither of these. He didn't play a role in the Russian opposition and his name isn't known for the Russian population. On the other hand, Mr. Navalny is an opposition leader - and likely the most successful one. I don't think that being a source for some experts is a good reason to consider a person a prominent one.

As for the Russian Wiki, I don't insist on its accuracy, still Mr. Pribylovsky bio isn't worth a research other than the Wiki, to my mind.
