Article reports that Russian prosecutors launched in May 2011 a criminal investigation into Alexei Navalny, a blogger who has crusaded against corruption in government and some of the country’s biggest state companies. The move came soon after the disclosure that Russia’s federal security services collected details on people who donated funds to the popular blogger’s anti-graft website, sparking fresh fears of a crackdown on the web as infighting mounts ahead of presidential elections in Russia in 2012. |
