In a gesture to the opposition elements in Russya, the Kremlin authorities announced the release of opposition leader Aleksei Navalny from house arrest. He was arrested for passing out leaflets that denounced Putin's activities, especially his invasion of Crimea and its takeover, and the support and provision of troops in Ukraine.
Navalny's release comes after the announcement of the arrest of two suspects in the murder investigation of Boris Nemtsov 10 days ago. Three other suspects were also detained, but have not been charged. Apparently, the Kremlin is relieved that these perpetrators are not local Russyans, but part of dissenter groups in the Caucasus region in the deep south of the country.
Navalny has not publicly commented as yet, but he will no doubt resume his earlier efforts to add his influence to public opinion in the Federation. We await his opinions.
