I ended up doing the show yesterday instead of Thursday. Below are the timestamps for those who don’t have time to watch the whole thing:
0:51 In Friday’s special edition of Russia of the Future, Alexei Navalny — or, as some would put it, “the man who tried to ruin the summer for Muscovites.”
1:35 On Thursday, OMON riot police once again trashed our offices. Help us restore our operations: https://streamlabs.com/navalnylive

2:55 Every vote matters. Sign up and take part in Smart Voting: https://vote2019.appspot.com

21:20 Why were five defendants in the “Moscow case” released?
23:12 “When even the very last — or the very first — granny in any region knows what is happening, that’s when they’ll start letting them go and stop jailing new people,” Navalny says about fabricated political criminal cases.
26:07 “Putin is trying to frighten us in order to break our will. To make us afraid to do anything at all.”
26:42 🎥 “He was just walking and doing nothing”: how Konstantin Kotov was detained.
