Profile: Russian blogger Alexei Navalny
Anti-corruption campaigner and top blogger Alexei Navalny is one of the pivotal figures leading protests and activism to challenge the results of Russia's 4 December parliamentary elections.
He is also arguably the only major opposition figure to emerge in Russia in the past five years. And he owes his political prominence almost exclusively to his activity as blogger.
In December 2008, his blog had just over 1,500 regular readers. By May 2010, it had over 11,000 and today it has over 60,000. His Twitter account has over 117,000 followers.
Since February, Mr Navalny has waged a concerted online campaign against Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's United Russia party, which he memorably dubbed the "party of crooks and thieves".
The central message of this video and other online polemics was that people should go to the polls on 4 December and vote for any party but United Russia.
Mr Navalny was arrested in what appears to be a political blunder on the part of Putin's security forces, contributing to United Russia's surprising political loss in the recent election.
