The four articles in this edition of the RAD look at 1) the prospects for opposition players in the upcoming 2018 Russian Presidential elections; 2) how Alexey Navalny’s political campaign strategy is confronting Russia’s political leadership with its first real challenge in years; 3) how the Kremlin has used mass demonstrations to pacify the Russian population; and 4) how local activism in Moscow and St Petersburg has been politicized in the wake of the Bolotnaya Square protests.
