IOP Pritzker Fellow Natalia Pelevina on "Alexei Navalny's Role & Legacy" THIS SEMINAR IS OPEN TO CURRENT UCHICAGO STUDENTS ONLY Tuesday, March 25 12:30-1:45pm From anti-corruption movement to anti-regime campaign; why the fight against corruption did not resonate enough and ultimately did not bring enough people on board to fight Putin’s tyranny. On the back of Moscow’s anti-government protests, Alexei Navalny’s western-style campaign for the Mayor of Moscow proved to be a real hit. It showed incredible results and led to his 2018 presidential campaign, which took him all over Russia, but his name never appeared on the ballot. Two years later, Alexei was poisoned with Novichok; after he survived that, he was put in prison, where he later died. What do we take from his legacy? Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact Sarah Palmisciano (spalmisciano@uchicago.edu).
