Leonid Volkov, a Russian oppositionist and the chief of staff of Alexei Navalny's 2018 campaign. The Russian government wants to arrest him for being a key member of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, which it brands as "extremist" (he fled to Lithuania, along with others).
He got an ICPC bronze medal in 2001, and before getting into politics, he was at an IT company for about 10 years, working his way up from a software engineer to the CEO. The company now has 9k employees and $200M revenue.

- SXX 5y agoThis is bullshit from Putins propoganda. He is nationalist and have a specific positions on immigration, but it doesn't make him extremist.
- bitcharmer 5y agoYou're comment is so obvious propaganda it's actually funny. Give our best to whoever's paying you for this low quality BS and tell them to try harder.
- pessimizer 5y agoConsider my comment propaganda too, then. The only major difference that Navalny has politically with Putin is that he wants his job.
- bitcharmer 5y agoWell, Russians are quite well known to make terrible choices for their leaders so I'm not surprised many of you think you're the good guys and the west owes you. There's millions like you who easily fall for the (very effective) Russian propaganda.
- droopyEyelids 5y agoDo you think we as Americans ever fall for propaganda?
- bitcharmer 5y agoYes, you massively do as well. I was particularly picking at the GP saying there's practically no difference between Navalny and Putin. I wanted to bring up murdering your own citizens to win elections, killing journalists and dissidents worldwide as an example of difference between the two but then I realised GP probably doesn't even know about that or chooses to believe it's evil western propaganda. Not much point in discussing facts of life with brainwashed people.
- bonzini 5y agoTechnically one of them hasn't had the chance yet to show off.
- hacliff 5y agothe user you're replying to has delightful previous comments such as "the US media is controlled by people eligible for Israeli citizenship" which is more dog-foghorn than dog-whistle
