Alexei Navalny will not be allowed to participate in the presidential elections in Russia. This conclusion can be drawn from today’s statement about the elections of the opposition’s main political opponent, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

“The struggle, as in any presidential race, will be serious, but we have never turned the political struggle into a war and we do not intend to do so. Today we have enough difficulties. If we waste time on populism and speculation, fanning empty conflicts, then only those who hardly care about how Russia will live, those who want to isolate and weaken our country will benefit from this,” Medvedev said today from the rostrum of the State Duma RF.
Medvedev contrasted Navalny's street opposition with systemic opposition.
“Of course, this does not mean that we do not have differences. I would like to specifically emphasize: our disputes, despite all the differences in the approaches of political parties and ideologies, concern methods of achieving the main goal. We have a common goal – to develop the country to provide people with a prosperous life,” the Russian Prime Minister emphasized.
