Jailed Russian opposition leader ‘doing well’, according to aides, nearly three weeks after going missing
The jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been located in a remote prison colony above the Arctic Circle after going missing for nearly three weeks, his aides have said.
Navalny was tracked down to the IK-3 penal colony in Kharp in the Yamal-Nenets region, about 1,200 miles north-east of Moscow, his spokesperson Kira Yarmysh said on Monday. “We have found Alexei Navalny,” she wrote on Twitter/X.
Navalny, who has been sentenced to nearly three decades in jail after building a nationwide political opposition to Vladimir Putin, disappeared from a prison in the Vladimir region near Moscow on 6 December, raising fears among his supporters about his health. A UN official described it as a “forced disappearance”.
Glad to see hes alive, but its unfortunate that Putin is getting away with all of this
Doing “well” in a prison colony above the Arctic circle. Damn, that’s straight from Nazis books.
Honestly, ‘alive’ is doing better than I would have guessed
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been located in a remote prison colony above the Arctic Circle after going missing for nearly three weeks, his aides have said.
Navalny was tracked down to the IK-3 penal colony in Kharp in the Yamal-Nenets region, about 1,200 miles north-east of Moscow, his spokesperson Kira Yarmysh said on Monday.
Navalny’s aides had been preparing for his expected transfer to a “special regime” colony, the harshest grade in Russia’s prison system.
The Kharp high-security prison colony holding Navalny was first established under Stalin in the Soviet Union as part of the Gulag network.
Navalny’s allies previously linked the timing of his disappearance to President Putin’s announcement to seek re-election in Russia’s 2024 presidential race.
Navalny’s supporters have launched an anti-Putin campaign including billboards in Moscow, St Petersburg and Novosibirsk, with a QR-code linking to a website that calls for Putin critics to use non-violent “partisan” tactics to express their dissent.

Verily, it hath come to the cognizance of mine faculties that he hath traversed the ethereal threshold, ascending beyond the mortal coil. I beseech that he hath, in his possession, borne a mantle and coverlet, artfully woven to stave off the encroaching cold, and a vial of Vicks Vapor Rub, an unguent to temper the harsh grip of winter’s chill. Furthermore, may he have at his disposal a parcel of Strepsils, artificed to alleviate the distress of a throat predisposed to the affliction of soreness, a malady that oft afflicts the denizens of the human form.
To supplement his sustenance, let there be bestowed upon him a cup, brimming with the savory elixir of noodle and chai, to nourish his innermost essence and confer upon him a repast both comforting and restorative. In deepest gratitude, do I extend mine appreciation for the gracious dispensation of this article.
