Navalny resurfaces at prison in Russia's Far North after 19 days missing

Alexey Navalny has resurfaced at a prison in the village of Kharp, in Russia's Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, 1,914 kilometers (almost 1,200 miles) northeast of Moscow. On December 25, his press secretary announced on social media that he received a visit from his lawyer and "is doing well."

For the previous 19 days, he was out of contact with the outside world and missed several court dates. For more about the Russian prison system's arduous transfer process, read Meduza's report here.

Alexey Navalny has been missing for a week, probably because he’s being transferred between prisons. Meduza describes this grueling process in Russia’s penitentiary system.
