Russian opposition leader Aleksei Navalny is returning to Moscow on Sunday, January 17, after six months in Germany being treated for a near-fatal poisoning. He has presented extensive evidence that the Kremlin was behind the attempt on his life. The Russian authorities have said he will be arrested on charges Navalny has characterized as politically motivated, but thousands are planning to be at the airport to welcome him.
