Navalny describes his 2013 Moscow mayoral campaign as being inspired by American grassroots politics, particularly by the series The Wire, emphasizing direct communication despite media bans.
I was banned from appearing on television or in the papers, so I decided to communicate directly. I wrote that our campaign was like a movie. I'm a big fan of The Wire.
No one had done anything like it before in Russia. I explained to our staff responsible for organizing meetings that I wanted a stage, chairs for the elderly, groups of people standing around.
Since his death, Yulia Navalnaya has continued his work, including publishing his memoir, highlighting Navalny's enduring defiance against Putin's authoritarian regime.
