Navalny’s volunteers: paid up PR-campaigns or a new political power?

Navalny’s volunteers: paid up PR-campaigns or a new political power? Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny intends to run for presidency in the upcoming elections to be held on March 18, 2018. His team has already opened 63 regional campaign offices. The "Сaucasian Knot" correspondent visited five offices in Astrakhan, Volgograd, Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don, and Stavropol. The correspondent also met Navalny’s opponents in the regions - representatives of the Communist Party and the movement "All-Russian People's Front". They analyzed the work of the volunteers and Navalny's campaign offices, and expressed their opinions about what prompts young people to take part in the movement, and how this relates to the volunteers' families and friends. Read about that in the material of the "Caucasian Knot".
