DW: Alexei Navalny: Most Russians don't care about his work, poll shows
He has been targeted by police raids, faced hefty fines and long jail terms. But a new poll has revealed that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is barely on the radar in his home country.
Only 9% of Russians have a positive view of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny's work, Russian media reported on Tuesday.
A poll conducted by the reputable Levada Center revealed that one in four Russians even have a negative view of Navalny's endeavors. The center quizzed over 1,600 Russian adults in both rural and urban environments in late October, according to the Interfax news agency.
Notably, 31% of the respondents said they did not care either way, and another 31% told researchers they did not know enough about Navalny's actions.
The 43-year-old activist serves as the leader of the "Russia of the Future" opposition party and is also the founder of the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK). The organization has faced repeated raids and investigations by Russian authorities after exposing high-profile graft inside the government.

WNU Editor: Alexei Navalny is known in the large cities, but in the rural regions of the country he is a complete unknown. Also .... incumbency always helps the politician in power .... whether in the U.S. or in Russia. And in the case of Russia, Putin as the Presidential incumbent holds all the cards. My advice to the opposition. Find someone that the average Russian citizen can relate and identify with. In short, find someone like Ukraine President Zelensky. A person who is already known by the public, but who could pivot into politics very quickly and surprising the establishment while doing it.

More people know about Navalny than like him. And indeed, what's to like? His work exposing corruption is not completely without merit, but even there, it's not exactly news to everyone here that the political class is grotesquely corrupt. And he's a part of it (I don't so much mean his own corruption, which seems laughably small-scale, as his association with the liberal grandees of yore).
