[MSN via Lucianne] A Moscow court has sentenced Alexei Navalny to two years and eight months in a prison colony in a landmark decision for Vladimir Putin's crackdown on the country's leading opposition figure.

Navalny, who has accused the Russian president and his allies of stealing billions, was sentenced to prison for violating parole from a 2014 sentence for embezzlement. He said the case against him was politically motivated.
One can only admire the efficiency of the Russian Courts since he was arrested only last week. I'm sure the Dems are taking notes.
