Alexei Navalny located in Siberian prison after being reported missing

• Yarmysh did not provide details as to how the Kremlin critic was located, but added that his lawyer visited him and Navalny is "doing well."
• In a separate statement, Ivan Zhdanov, the former director of Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation, said his legal team undertook hundreds of requests to locate him in the weeks he was missing.
• "A complete block was placed on information about him. Even today, the Supreme Court says it doesn't know where he is," Zhdanov said on X.

Details: According to Zhdanov, the prison is known as "Polar Wolf" and is one of the most remote colonies in Russia.

• "The conditions there are harsh, with a special regime in the permafrost zone. It is very difficult to get there, and there are no letter delivery systems," he said.
• The penal colony is located almost 1,200 miles from Moscow.

Flashback: Navalny was given an additional 19-year prison sentence in August after already being sentenced to 11 years on charges of founding extremist groups.

• In reality, the organizations — which were founded to expose financial malfeasance in the Kremlin — were labeled as extremist only after they published investigations into alleged corruption by high-ranking Russian government officials, Axios' April Rubin writes.
