Police briefly detain Boris Nadezhdin, a liberal Russian politician and Putin critic

Liberal politician Boris Nadezhdin was briefly detained and faces court this week over allegedly displaying an "extremist" image of late opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
Russia has labeled Nadezhdin a "foreign agent" and he was barred from the 2024 presidential ballot — yet he says he'll try to run for parliament in September.
The case comes amid the wider controversy over Navalny's death in a penal colony and European accusations he was poisoned, underscoring Russia's ongoing crackdown on dissent.
