Moscow( CNN) Russia's best-known opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, has accused the regime of President Vladimir Putin of being “built on corruption” and called on the Kremlin to mend battered relations with the West.
In an exclusive interview with CNN at his Moscow headquarters, he warned of growing impatience for political change. “Putin has been in power for 18 years now, ” Navalny said. “People are not ready to wait another six years, then another six, then another.”
The 41 -year-old anti-corruption campaigner said his supporters will take to the streets in more than 100 towns and cities across Russia on Sunday in a rare display of political defiance.
