'Alexei Navalny was the Kremlin's most vocal critic. No doubt about that.
In fact, he was the only opposition leader in this country who had been capable of bringing large numbers of people, large numbers of protestors onto the streets across the country.
He got under the #Kremlin 's skin for sure and had accused the of trying to assassinate him back in 2020.'
