Alexei Navalny, a renowned director and writer, was born on June 4, 1976, in the quaint town of Butyn, situated in the Moscow Oblast, which was then part of the vast Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) within the larger Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Today, this region is an integral part of the Russian Federation.
Throughout his illustrious career, Navalny has made significant contributions to the world of cinema, leaving behind a lasting legacy through his work on notable projects such as the documentary "Navalny" (2022),the documentary "The Case Is Solved" and the documentary "I Know Everyone Who Tried to Kill Me" (2020),as well as the documentary "Parazity" (2020).
In his personal life, Navalny was married to his loving wife, Yulia Navalnaya, with whom he shared a deep and enduring bond.
Tragically, Alexei Navalny's life was cut short on February 16, 2024, while he was being held in the FKU IK-3 Prison, located in the remote Kharp, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, a vast and sparsely populated region in the northwestern part of Russia.
