Alexei Navalny and Protests in Russia: Growth of Online Activism Under the Authoritarian System

Öz

This article problematizes the nature of the protests that outbroke in Russia following the arrest of the opposition activist Alexei Navalny in January 2021. Under the conditions of mass action ban and COVID-19 pandemic, the scope of the rallies make them the biggest mass action in the history of Russia after 1991. This article seeks to discuss the nature of the rallies as a form of civic activism as well as their capacity to liberalize Russian regime. Furthermore, this article aims to discuss the role of digital media during the protests. The article argues that the scope of the rallies, reliance on youth, online mobilization structure and thoroughly organized anatomy indicate that they have potential for regime change in future as it could be seen in the case of color revolutions in 2000s. At the same time, it is argued that in Russia, online activism is growing as a response to sovereignization of the Internet. This article relies on the qualitative research methodology. Data collection techniques include literature review on social activism and online media; study of Russian legislation; analysis of social media content; and examination of January events’ media coverage.
