Alexei Navalny

Age: 35
Occupation: Russia's blogger in chief

A lawyer by training and a nationalist by conviction, Navalny was at the forefront of the demonstrations that shook the country this winter. Unfazed by his brief arrest in March, Navalny hopes to create an opposition party to unseat Putin's ruling United Russia, which he derides as "the party of crooks and thieves."
