Boris Nadezhdin says he may leave Russia

Politician Boris Nadezhdin, who was detained yesterday over a link to a video featuring a photograph of Navalny, said on The Breakfast Show that he may leave Russia, as Meduza noted.

"Yes, [that idea] is being discussed. Not so much by me as by my family," he said on today's broadcast.

In the morning, Nadezhdin told Agentstvo that he fears arrest. He called the detention a reaction by the authorities to his continuing to collect signatures to run in the State Duma elections after the Justice Ministry declared Nadezhdin a "foreign agent."

My feelings are anxious. Because it is obvious: yesterday they simply wanted to lock me up. Unfortunately, I am not in the kind of health or at the age where I might even survive 15 days in a stuffy cell. I would simply die there,

Agentstvo quotes the 63-year-old politician as saying.

🔵Yesterday, Boris Nadezhdin was detained, a protocol was drawn up against him under the article on displaying "extremist symbols," and he was released. The pretext for the prosecution was a link on the politician's YouTube channel to Elvira Vikhareva's video "Candidate Against Putin 2024," where a photo of Alexei Navalny was shown for ten seconds. Nadezhdin's trial will take place on Friday.
