The video, which gained half a million views on YouTube within hours, was shot during Navalny’s visit to Siberia this month shortly before he became violently ill on an Aug. 20 flight from the city of Tomsk to Moscow. Highlighting allegations of corruption against a local property developer and politician in Novosibirsk, the country’s third-largest city, Navalny urged people to vote against United Russia in regional elections in September.
