Live inside Navalny’s penal colony as Moscow court considers new charges against him

Moscow’s Lefortovsky district court announced last week it will hold preliminary hearings on charges of fraud and contempt of court against Navalny on February 15. Navalny is accused of stealing for personal purposes 365 million roubles million (around €, $) of donations that were given to his organisations.
