“Boy, bring vodka, we fly home,” Navalaya quoted a line from the movie “Brother 2” the Sunday before the flight.
After Navaln shared this video on social media, the plane soon took off from Berlin to Moscow, then was diverted to Sheremetyevo airport, where there were no opposition supporters, at least initially.
At border control, when the officers asked A. Navalnas to accompany them, the spouses hugged and kissed. That night, J. Navalnavaja said very little about the reporters, but when he left the airport, the audience chanted: “Julia! Excellent! “

On Monday, Navaln was simply tried at the police station where he was taken from the airport. He was detained for 30 days in Moscow’s solitary confinement Matrosskaya Tishina. Navaln was convicted of violating the conditions of his probation when he left Russia for treatment in Berlin after being poisoned by the nerve paralyzing substance Novičiok.
A. Navalnas was paroled in a fraud case. However, he himself says that such accusations are politically motivated.
The opposition can spend even more time behind bars for allegedly using their anti-corruption fund for personal purposes.
General fight
Last December, the Novaya Gazeta newspaper named Navalna the “hero of the year.” He recalled his determined behavior in the Omsk Hospital, where A. Navalnas, who was in a coma, was being treated.
He then wrote an open letter to President Vladimir Putin demanding that the spouse be allowed to travel to Germany for medical treatment.
Navalna’s doctors were very opposed to their transport, but in the end Navalna’s goal was achieved: After the letter’s publication, the opposition was allowed to fly, writes Deutsche Welle.

Recovering from the poisoning, A. Navalnas announced his love for his wife on the social network Instagram and wrote about how he cared for him.
During an interview with journalist Yuri Dud, A. Navalnaja was sitting next to her husband. When asked about his return to Russia, he assured me: “I am not afraid.”
He then said that Navaln’s fight against corruption is also his fight.
Alexander Baunov believes that the poisoning story depicts A. Navalnaya’s “transition from an accompanying figure to an independent actor.”
“Now that Alexei is detained, Navalnaya will act independently,” Baunov told AFP.
“It just came to our attention then. From the wife of a politician, she became a politician,” political scientist Konstantin Kalachev told the news agency.
“She has charisma and charm, she is creative, brave, if necessary, she could easily change her spouse,” he added.
Baunov thinks that some people like J. Navalna much more than A. Navalnas, that over the last decade people have grown weary of the same opposition faces.
“We need new voices. Julia is an ideal choice,” A. Baunov told AFP.
Russian authorities appear to fear a Belarusian scenario in which political novice Sviatlana Cichanouskaya defied autocrat Aliaksandr Lukashenko after her husband was jailed, AFP said.
On Saturday, a news outlet belonging to Kremlin-bound billionaire Konstantin Malofeyev threatened to reveal Navaln’s intimate moments with other women unless Navalnaya promised “not to become Cichanouskaya in Russia.”
But at the airport on Sunday, Navalnaya said she was not afraid of anything and urged others not to be afraid. She wrote on Instagram on Monday: “There is nothing we cannot deal with. In the end, everything will work out.”
On Wednesday, J. Navalnaja shared a photo on the social network, in which, according to her, a car has been parked at home for 24 hours. The opposition wife was ironic about how the police officers “protected” her.
“Now they persecute me as the wife of the enemy of the nation,” Navalnaya wrote.
