NAVALNY takes viewers inside the careful investigation into the shocking and brazen assassination attempt against Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny, and who was behind it. Through his years-long campaign against corruption among Russia’s elites, Navalny has developed powerful enemies. His publicized revelations, and calls for democratic reforms, have enraged Vladimir Putin, who refuses to even say his name in public. In August 2020, Navalny was secretly poisoned with a military-grade chemical nerve agent in an elaborate attempt on his life. Despite denials from the Russian government, the poison was later linked to the Kremlin through investigations by international news organizations, including Bellingcat and CNN.

★★★★
"The feature is highly recommended for Russian-centered and Eastern Europe-oriented programming. Current-affairs-oriented courses, human-rights and political-science curricula should also take an interest. The bilingual nature of the film makes it also an interesting possibility for Russian-language lessons."

Educational Media Reviews Online | Reviewed by Michael A. LaMagna, Associate Professor & Reference Librarian, Delaware County Community College, Media, PA
"This film is highly recommended for any collection but will add to collections focused on international politics and current events."
