Alexei Navalny, who has led the main opposition to Vladimir Putin for years and was the subject of an Oscar-winning documentary, has died, according to state reports citing the Russian prison service. He was 47.
The BBC quoted the Russian prison service as saying Navalny “felt unwell” after a walk on Friday and “almost immediately lost consciousness.” The local Tass News agency reported that a cause of death is still being established.
Navalny is globally recognized as the most vocal Russian critic of Putin across the past two decades. He had spent the past few years, and many years of his adult life, in prison. Most recently, he was serving a 19-year jail term for offenses that were widely deemed to be politically motivated.
He was moved to an Arctic penal colony, considered one of the toughest jails, late last year.
