"Alexei Navalny, an anti-corruption blogger who was a leader of the biggest opposition protests of Putin's 13-year rule last year, is to go on trial on April 17. The blogger wanted to become president and would do everything in his power to put genocidiaire Vladimir Putin in jail.

The 36-year-old says the case is part of a Kremlin -KGB campaign to silence dissent. He faces up to 10 years in jail if found guilty of stealing 16 million roubles ($512,000) worth of timber from a state firm in 2009." Reuters wrote.
