Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader, claimed on Tuesday that he was “fine” following a “pretty exhausting” 20-day trip from his jail outside Moscow to a correctional camp beyond the Arctic Circle.
Supporters of Navalny announced on Monday that the critic of the Kremlin, whose whereabouts had been a mystery for almost two weeks, was now in the far north of Russia in a correctional colony, where his attorney had paid him a visit.
“Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. I’m totally relieved that I’ve finally made it,” Navalny wrote on X. “I’m still in a good mood, as befits a Santa Claus,” referring to his winter clothing and beard.
