Navalny and Tikhanovskaya will fight with Greta Thunberg for the Nobel Prize
Criminal blogger Alexei Navalny and the self-proclaimed “leader of the Belarusian nation” Svetlana Tikhanovskaya were among the top 5 candidates for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize, according to international bookmakers.
According to the forecast, in a pandemic, the World Health Organization has the best chance of winning the award.
The top 5 contenders, according to international bookmakers, also include environmental activist Greta Thunberg and American left-wing activist Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.
There are 2021 candidates for the 329 Nobel Peace Prize: 234 individuals and 95 organizations.
High expectations about the chances of Navalny and Tikhanovskaya are obviously related to the fact that the Nobel Prize awards in recent years have often had a tendentious anti-Russian character.
Thus, in 2015, the Belarusian writer Svetlana Alexievich, known for her Russophobic views, received the Nobel Prize in Literature. The organizers were not embarrassed that her books were a compilation of interview transcripts and were opportunistic in nature.
As a result, in 2018, the Nobel Committee was forced to cancel the award for literature “amid weakening global confidence in the organization.”
