Aleksei Navalny’s Stanford daughter honors dad on Oscars stage
An outspoken critic of the Kremlin, Navalny is currently serving a nine-year term at a maximum-security prison east of Moscow. The documentary is a real-life thriller that follows Navalny’s political rise as an anti-corruption crusader and outspoken critic of the Kremlin. In 2020, he survived poisoning by the nerve agent Novichok. Western officials and Navalny have said the attack was perpetuated by the Kremlin, while Russia has denied any involvement.
Dasha Navalnaya appeared in “Nalvany,” showing support for her father’s decision to return to Russia even as she acknowledged her fear for his safety. While navigating exams and term papers at Stanford, she also has campaigned for her father and promoted the documentary,“I sort of perceive the documentary as this ‘get out of death’ card,” Dasha Navalnaya told Kristof. “The more awareness that we create, the less Putin and his posse would be tempted to kill my dad.
She said she hadn’t seen her father in person for more than a year but that his anti-corruption foundation will continue his work to one day ensure that Russia becomes “a free state” and has open elections, free speech, freedom of speech and the “opportunity to become a part of the normal Western democratized community.”
