According to the source, Navalny along with his supporters in Moscow agitated people to take part in the "voters' strike" campaign, which asks Russian citizens to refuse to come to the elections in March 2018 and not to vote for incumbent President Vladimir Putin. They detained Navalny on the approach to Pushkin Square, when he, in a crowd of activists, tried to get to Tverskaya Street.

All over Russia, Alexei's supporters are being arrested, 40 people have already been detained.

Earlier, Navalny announced a strike of voters after the Central Election Commission of Russia did not register him as a candidate for the presidency of Russia. Now the defense policy is going to appeal the denial of admission to the elections to the European Court of Human Rights.

As reported in "URA-Inform", the Russian oppositionist Aleksei Navalny, contrary to the CEC's decision on his criminal record, will participate in the presidential elections in Russia and will do everything possible to appeal the court's decision.
