"Mr Navalny, Russia's most prominent unelected opposition figure, has waged a campaign for more than a decade against corruption and is a sharp critic of Mr Putin's rule.

The FBK was declared a "foreign agent" by the Russian justice ministry in October, making it subject to more checks by the authorities."

MOSCOW — In Russian authorities’ latest crackdown this week on Kremlin critics, opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation office was raided Thursday, just days after one of his top aides was suddenly conscripted and sent to a desolate base in the Arctic.

Navalny, who was barred from running in Russia’s 2018 presidential election, said on Twitter that he was dragged out of the office before eventually being allowed to return.

 In the moments before his brief detention, Navalny live-streamed the raid as police used power tools to saw through the door."
