I plan on donating to Senator Cotton.

Navalny spent 2/3 of 2017 in jail from the protests last year, and the closer Russia gets to elections, the Kremlin does not want unecessary buzz. Particularly internationally. Hence his release.

That being said a lot of his young staffers remain in jail and young protesters in general were brutalized, their parents and teachers intimidated and sought for questioning after by police throughout the rallies in the past year.

The protests are unprecedented in Russia, not so much in size but in scope — because people are turning up not just in the urban centers but in the outskirt regions and provinces typically known as “Putin country.”

The thing is, the liberal “anti-Putin” centers are doing a lot better economically than the Russian heartland which is awash in poverty and dereliction and are at the mercy of the Moscow power vertical - which apparently you know very little about.
