Particularly dangerous: how Russia punishes those who remember Alexei Navalny

According to calculations by the publication Verstka, Russian courts will begin to considered least 213 administrative protocols drawn up for displaying photographs Alexey Navalny, as well as the mention of his last name and red exclamation marks (symbols of “Smart Voting” and “Navalny Headquarters”).

Cases continue to be opened against Russians even after the death of a politician who remains on the list of "terrorists and extremists"—this helps the state punish citizens even for old positions.

In the two years since Navalny's death, according to the publication's calculations, at least 84 cases of "public display of extremist symbols" have been filed in court. Last year alone, 14 people were fined 1-2 rubles, and eight were jailed. 

In total, over the past four and a half years, courts have imposed at least 573 days of administrative arrest in cases involving symbols associated with Navalny.
