The two opposition movements have been involved in public disputes before, but their latest disagreement is the most potent yet
Splits in Russia’s opposition in exile have widened sharply, shifting their focus from political activism to infighting after allies of late opposition leader Alexey Navalny accused another opposition figure of ordering attacks on their activists.
In the most serious incident, Volkov was attacked outside his house in Vilnius, Lithuania in March this year, a month after Navalny died in an Arctic prison, by a hammer-wielding assailant who he said had left him with a broken arm and a badly damaged leg. With Navalny dead, the opposition has been left without a clear leader. His widow, Yulia Navalnaya, has vowed to continue his work and has pushed for President Vladimir Putin to leave the Kremlin while senior Navalny aides continue to investigate the circumstances of her husband’s death.
Navalny’s movement, the Anti-Corruption Foundation , said it had shared its investigation with law enforcement in countries where Nevzlin travelled. The Lithuanian General Prosecutor’s office declined to say if it had received any material from the ACF but said an inquiry into the Volkov attack was ongoing.
Khodorkovsky condemned the attacks on the activists but defended Nevzlin, saying the accusations looked like they originated in Russia’s intelligence services.
