Two allies of Russia's most prominent opposition leader, Aleksei A. Navalny, were sentenced to years in prison on Wednesday, in a sign of an escalating crackdown on dissent in the country.Lilia Chanysheva, the head of Mr. Navalny's office in the central Bashkortostan region, and her former colleague, Rustem Mulyukov, are the first of Mr. Navalny's team to be convicted of charges related to national security since the Russian government declared his grass-roots anti-corruption group an extremist organization in 2021.
