Anti-Putin activist Ruslan Shaveddinov 'forcibly conscripted' and sent to Arctic

[Vergennes]

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has said that one of his allies had been forcibly conscripted and sent to serve at a remote Arctic base, in a move his supporters said amounted to kidnapping.

Ruslan Shaveddinov, a project manager at Navalny’s anti-corruption foundation, went missing Monday after police broke into his Moscow flat and his phone’s SIM card was disabled.

He resurfaced Tuesday at a secret air defence base on the remote Novaya Zemlya archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, Navalny said.

Separating the Barents and Kara seas, the Novaya Zemlya islands were used by the Soviet Union to conduct nuclear tests.

“He has been unlawfully deprived of freedom,” said Navalny, president Vladimir Putin’s top opponent, in a blog post, calling the 23-year-old a “political prisoner”.

The Russian military insisted that Shaveddinov had been dodging the draft for a long time.

The Russian way to get rid of the "undesirables" is quite "funny".

Why clowns from the so called "the Guardian" call Navalny "opposition leader" ? Because he is visitor to US embassy to Russia or because he compared people from the Caucasus to cookroaches ?
AFAIK two biggest opposition parties in Russia are CPRF (it's leader is Gennady Zyuganov) and LDPR (it's leader is Vladimir Zhirinovsky).

Barking dogs of US imperialism from the so called "the Guardian" don't support real oppositionists like Julian Assange, because barking dogs of US imperialism hate freedom.
