Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny remains defiant after violating house arrest to reach a protest by the Kremlin, thumbing his nose at the system that spared him while locking up his brother.

The 38-year-old lawyer poked fun as policemen remained stationed outside his apartment after he was escorted home from the rally, saying on Twitter today: “They themselves don’t know why they’re standing there. Don’t want water or tea.”
