Novosibirsk was one of the main regional centers where Alexei Navalny and the Democratic Coalition sought to win seats in regional legislative assemblies in 2015. Alexei Navalny traveled there to support the primaries and urge people to take part in a campaign that was meant to give the opposition real representation in the elections. In the end, the authorities barred the coalition from the ballot, but the Novosibirsk campaign remained an example of how Navalny was able to unite people not only in Moscow, but also in the country’s regions.
