LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky believes that the West has "lost" by placing bets on blogger Alexei Navalny.

As the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov told reporters, Russian President Vladimir Putin perceives people who go to illegal actions, but behave peacefully, primarily as citizens of the Russian Federation, but also as those who break the law.

As the head of the international committee of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev told, the situation with Alexei Navalny is an exclusively internal affair of the Russian Federation, while the United States is trying to intervene in them.
