A year after Alexei Navalny's death, his Anti-Corruption Foundation (ACF) has lost its influence as protests wane. Political scientist Alexander Kynev attributes this decline to Navalny's arrest and Russia's shifting focus on the Ukraine conflict, diminishing public interest in opposition leaders outside Navalny. The ACF, once a pivotal force in exposing corruption, has become marginalized, leaving the Kremlin still firmly in power.
"As soon as the most important opposition politician had been isolated, the field of political action was reduced...There was no longer a fight for the people, but a fight for him as an individual."
"The ACF was always worth reporting on; it was an event in itself. But that, he said, is no longer the case."
