Anatoly Nogovitsyn is perhaps the only politician closely linked to imprisoned Russian opposition leader Aleksei Navalny whom the authorities have allowed to run for parliament in elections on September 17-19.

Novogitsyn says he overcame an attempt to remove him from the ballot by threatening to go on hunger strike.
