The death of Alexei Navalny ends the last dissident to Russian President Vladimir Putin. He gained fame through a blog and then a website, where he denounces cases of corruption.
In 2010 he accused the public oil giant Rosneft of illegally diverting more than $3 billion that was supposed to be used to build an oil pipeline in Siberia. He was imprisoned for the first time after a demonstration against alleged fraud in the elections and created the Anti-Corruption Foundation. In 2016 he announced that he will run in the 2018 presidential election.
