Imprisoned Navalny learns documentary about him wins Oscar
Daniel Roher and the members of the crew from “Navalny” accept the award for best documentary feature at the Oscars on Sunday. Imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny learned Monday from his lawyer that a film detailing his poisoning and political activism won the Oscar for best documentary feature. The 46-year-old politician was attending a court hearing via video link from the prison when his attorney broke the news to him about the documentary, “Navalny,” by director Daniel Roher, according to his spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh. Lyubov Sobol, Navalny’s longtime ally, said in an interview with the Associated Press that the documentary’s success represented “an important signal that the world sees the efforts to fight for democracy in Russia, the world supports brave and courageous people who have challenged Vladimir Putin and have been fighting the unequal battle with evil, which is now tormenting the entire world and Ukraine in the first place.” “It’s a very important victory and I was unspeakably glad,” Sobol said.
