In this December 18, 2017, file photo, Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny prepares himself prior his interview with The Associated Press in Moscow, Russia. The return of Navalny on Jan. 17, 2021, from Germany after he spent five months in Berlin recovering from a nerve agent poisoning was marked by chaos and popular outrage, and it ended, almost predictably with his arrest.
