Russian Site Aims to Expose State Corruption - NYTimes.com

I wrote about Aleksei Navalny on 8 March. Sunday's New York Times has a featured article on the gentleman.

Here is a more ominous passage from the article:
The chief executive of Transneft, Nikolai Tokarev, a veteran of the Soviet K.G.B., has suggested that Mr. Navalny is a shill for the Central Intelligence Agency, ordered to smear the reputations of important Russian companies. 
Nothing has followed from these charges so far. Mr. Navalny, though, became so unnerved that he gave his wife a list of phone numbers to call if he disappeared — other lawyers, journalists and opposition politicians. 
“They could arrest me at any moment,” Mr. Navalny explained
