Navalny was an activist who organized large protests against the government, ran for office several times, and investigated corruption, mostly concerning money flows between government officials, oligarchs, their companies and properties, etc. The worst crime he was ever charged with was embezzlement and fraud. Assange is a hacker who's indiscriminately leaked tons of classified info, much of which had little to do with corruption like the unredacted cables and the Vault 7 documents. He's (allegedly) conspired with Chelsea Manning and Lulzsec to basically get whatever he can get his hands on [1][2]. btw, Navalny died in a penal colony serving a 19 year sentence. Chelsea got out after 7. [1] https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/wikileaks-founder-charged-computer-hacking-conspiracy https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/wikileaks-founder-charged-com...
