A Moscow court issued an arrest warrant on August 26 for Aleksandra Frolova, a self-exiled member of late opposition politician Aleksei Navalny's team. Three days earlier, the same court issued a warrant for Nina Volokhonskaya, a self-exiled producer at the Navalny LIVE YouTube channel. In mid-August, Frolova and Volokhonskaya were added to Russia's wanted list for allegedly taking part in the activities of an extremist group. Navalny's organizations and projects were labeled as extremist and banned in Russia in June 2021. If arrested and convicted, the two women face up to six years in prison.
