* The head of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, Alexei Navalny, was Vladimir Putin's harshest critic. He was convicted on false charges of imprisonment for 19 years and served his sentence in the harshest conditions in the Arctic Circle.
According to colleagues, Navalny was poisoned by FSB officers, but miraculously survived. After Navalny and his colleagues conducted investigations about Putin's mistresses and the construction of a $1 billion palace for him on the Black Sea, the opposition leader was arrested on charges of fraud and extremism.
