On March 20, 2017, Alexei Navalny traveled to Altai Krai (a region in southern Siberia) to open presidential campaign offices in Barnaul and Biysk. In Barnaul, before the event began, he was splashed with brilliant green antiseptic dye, but the meeting went ahead anyway, and the incident itself became one of the symbols of the pressure placed on the campaign. This gallery shows how the regional offices were opened amid constant resistance from provocateurs, security forces, and local authorities.
