Anti-Corruption Foundation employees share free pirated version of ‘Navalny’ documentary
Several top employees of Alexey Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) shared links to a free and presumably pirated online version of the film Navalny, which won the Academy Award for best feature documentary on Sunday, on Twitter and Telegram.
The version of the film available on the site linked by the activists includes the original English-language audio with Russian subtitles. There’s currently no legal way to watch the film in Russia.
In the posts where they shared the link to the film, the FBK employees jokingly feigned frustration that the film had been “leaked” by “pirates.” Alexey Navalny’s press secretary, Kira Yarmysh, has not responded to Meduza’s questions about whether the Anti-Corruption Foundation is associated with the site, though she also shared the link on Twitter.
