ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 4, A MEETING BETWEEN MOSCOW MAYORAL CANDIDATE ALEXEI NAVALNY AND LOCAL RESIDENTS TOOK PLACE NEAR TULSKAYA METRO STATION

Before the meeting, a light drizzle was falling, and the gathering place looked almost autumnal: the pavement was wet, the speakers on the stage were wrapped in red rain covers, and the volunteers setting out chairs were wearing blue ones. But by the time Alexei arrived, the rain had stopped as if on cue. The black folding chairs, eagerly taken by older attendees, ran out quickly. Many of those who arrived later stood in a semicircle a little farther back.

Navalny greets the crowd: “I’m here because I’m convinced that every candidate—everyone seeking to run the city—should hold meetings like this. They should meet voters in person and discuss directly with them the problems that concern them. I’ll tell you a little about myself first, and then I’ll answer your questions.” Alexei casts a doubtful glance at the clouds gathering again. “If the rain doesn’t drive us away.”

NAVALNY

PUTTING IT IN PERSONAL TERMS

“In that arbitration court building over there,” Navalny says, looking around and gesturing toward the imposing structure, “I spend a lot of time suing oil-exporting companies and their officials—or businessmen, it’s hard to tell which. People ask me: why are you getting involved, why do you need this? And I always answer: because I calculated all these costs in terms of myself.”

To make it clearer, Alexei suggests that the crowd work through the numbers together. Moscow’s budget amounts to 1.6 trillion rubles a year. By that measure, our city is second only to New York worldwide. And yet it is clear where these fabulous sums are going. One would think Muscovites could live in a comfortable city and enjoy excellent services at low prices. Meanwhile, housing and utility bills keep rising. “For example, the bill for my apartment in a prefab panel building comes to 9,000 rubles,” the mayoral candidate says. At the same time, there is little sign that the promised “investment projects” of utility companies are bringing any noticeable improvement in service.

Alexei cites Russia’s total income from oil and gas sales over the past fifteen years—trillions of dollars—and breaks it down per person, including infants and centenarians. The sums are considerable. “I understand that there is no cashier’s window where you can go and collect your share from the sale of our oil and gas. But I want to see what that money was spent on,” Navalny adds.

A sigh runs through the crowd: “And that’s fine—we don’t begrudge the money, as long as my child gets a good education.” And one would like all funds to be spent for their intended purpose.

I believe they stole that money personally from me and my family.

The crowd keeps growing. People coming out of the metro stop, pause, and join those already gathered. A young woman volunteer—like thousands of other volunteers at Alexei’s campaign headquarters, she is helping her candidate entirely free of charge—hands out red balloons with the candidate’s surname on them to children and to anyone else who wants one, whatever their age.

WHO’S OFFERING MORE?

“On your district’s forum, I read that many parents are outraged by the merger of schools,” Navalny says, turning to education. “My daughter also goes to a school that is being merged with another one. Neither parents nor teachers can understand why this is being done. And yet a great deal of money is allocated to education.”

“How much do you think a school principal earns?” Alexei listens to people’s guesses and laughs: “Who’s offering more?” Starting at 150,000 rubles a month—and then the conversation moves on to district problems and salaries. “With Georgia and Turkmenistan, there is a visa regime, so why is there no similar visa regime with Tajikistan and Uzbekistan?” Navalny asks. “They keep bringing in migrants...” someone standing to the side of the stage exclaims.

“According to the official documents, not a single street cleaner earns less than 30,000 rubles a month. But the actual workers don’t see more than 15,000 to 18,000,” Alexei says, adjusting the microphone and posing what is by now a rhetorical question: “So where does the difference go?”

Elderly women heatedly discuss the issue of undocumented migrants who are staying literally just beyond the neighboring buildings. “Only three measures are needed: introducing a visa regime, banning companies with state capital from hiring foreign nationals, and abolishing tenders that are grossly inflated and used as a tool for siphoning off funds,” Navalny explains. “These steps will significantly improve the situation,” Alexei Navalny says with confidence. If the officially declared wages were actually paid in full to Moscow’s street cleaners, our own fellow citizens would be the ones cleaning the streets.

WE ARE THE POWER

"I’m asking Muscovites for support to change the current situation—for myself, for my family, for everyone. Do you know how many people it takes to re-elect a mayor? One and a half million. Moscow has them," says Alexei. And that is perhaps the most important part of his speech. Everything depends only on us. We are the power in our city and in our country.

NAVALNY’S TEAM

THE FIRST PEOPLE’S MAYOR

Alexei Navalny has already begun changing Moscow. Nothing like this has happened before: thousands of volunteers of all ages have joined the election campaign. Politics is becoming a people’s cause—anyone can help the candidate they believe in. This is the right answer to the questions "Who is behind Navalny?" and "Does he have a team?" The newspaper you are holding was also made by volunteers: journalists from leading Moscow media outlets, restorers, and photographers joined forces and are producing several issues a day. Navalny’s campaign is funded entirely by voluntary donations.

Transfers to Alexei’s campaign account arrive every 10 to 15 seconds. As of today, we—Alexei’s supporters—have contributed 30 million rubles (about US$900,000 at the time), and the flow has not dried up. People are confident that not a single kopeck will be wasted, that all the money raised will go toward things the campaign truly needs. Across the city, volunteers are setting up the so-called Navalny Cubes. This is a structure made of four campaign posters telling people about Alexei, the problems in the neighborhood, and how the candidate plans to solve them. A volunteer chooses the location and sets up the cube there. After that, each cube is added to an online map. Anyone can come by, pick up leaflets, and start telling others about Alexei Navalny’s platform. Volunteers hand out leaflets for hours in any weather, and many approach the task creatively: they bring pets, dress them in branded T-shirts with "Navalny" printed on them, bring musical instruments, and put on impromptu concerts. The cubes become real discussion clubs: people talk to one another and argue about the future of the city and the country.

And banners with the candidate’s surname have begun appearing on the balconies of many Muscovites. They are immediately cut down by migrants hired by DEZ municipal maintenance offices, using climbing gear—completely illegally and right in front of the apartment owners. Residents have already filed police complaints about the actions of the local district administrations. Some volunteers have set up projectors, shining them from windows onto sidewalks, house walls, and blank building facades. A nighttime street—and the name "Navalny" in a beam of light. Drivers have joined in creatively as well: they made inscriptions on rear windows using paper tape (in the photo on the left). Now there are also car stickers available at campaign headquarters, as well as cubes. So while stuck in Moscow’s many traffic jams, Alexei Navalny’s supporters immediately recognize one another and exchange greeting honks.

30,000 volunteers have already joined Navalny’s campaign. Some help by distributing leaflets; others—no fewer than 5,000—work on voter information hotlines and in their spare time, and the campaign only began two weeks ago. Just imagine what Alexei could accomplish in five years if all these resources were put to use. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but real change is possible!

WHO IS NAVALNY? 4

ONE OF US

For many years, Alexei Navalny investigated corruption in Moscow and across the country. For those who read the news online, his name is synonymous with successful resistance to high-ranking officials and thieves. Together with his team, Alexei conceived and carried out public projects that improv...

“Real politics means saying what you truly think and engaging in civic and political activity without asking anyone’s permission.”

Alexei became a candidate for mayor of Moscow in order to fight, on a new level, against the arbitrariness and neglect that get in everyone’s way. For Navalny, changing life in Moscow is the key to change throughout Russia. He is convinced that if corruption and lawlessness are stopped in the capital, positive change across Russia will become inevitable.

Navalny talks about his investigations: he shows how millions and trillions of rubles are stolen across Russia. He repeatedly filed complaints with the Prosecutor’s Office and the Investigative Committee, demanding criminal cases be opened against corrupt officials. But law enforcement agencies have been in no hurry to tackle corruption. That is why Navalny and his team went directly to the people.

Navalny, unlike officials and the leaders of the ruling United Russia party, lives the life of an ordinary Muscovite. His wife uses a municipal clinic and kindergarten, and Alexei himself waits in line at the local clinic, so much of what Muscovites go through is familiar to him. Navalny is ready to fight to the end for what he believes in. Today, he is the only person capable of standing up to corrupt officials, and the only candidate able to break the vicious circle and challenge the current власти.

Alexei Navalny was born on June 4, 1976. He graduated from the Law Faculty of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia and the Finance and Credit Faculty of the Financial Academy under the Government of the Russian Federation. He lives in the Maryino residential district in southeastern Moscow. Alexei's family includes his wife Yulia, 12-year-old daughter Dasha, and 5-year-old son Zakhar.

NAVALNY HAS ALREADY DONE A LOT

Navalny runs several successful projects that help citizens. He has united thousands of people in the fight against theft and inefficiency.
