Russian citizens are marching in the streets. It’s being called the greatest threat to President Vladimir Putin’s reign in a generation.

 

We’re joined by Nadya Tolokonnikova, one of the founders of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot to discuss the groundswell campaign backing Opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

 

Navalny remains in prison after surviving an assassination by poisoning, when spies, believed to be working on behalf of the Kremlin, put a nerve agent in his underpants.
