Alexei Navalny is a Russian politician and Putin's critic. He survived an assassination attempt widely linked with Russian secret services. He is currently imprisoned.
I will use media sources and my best judgement to determine if he is alive, and free.
I posted the same question with different end dates: 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026
Navalny's name has been floated in the context of a prisoner exchange, according to the WSJ https://www.wsj.com/world/putin-wants-his-hit-man-back-5bd759f8 . Not clear if Putin (or, for that matter, Navalny) would accept the deal, but it does seem to raise the chances...
@PS there's two more questions, about EOY 2024 and 2025!
