The Navalny Headquarters (Russian: Штабы Навального, romanized: Shtaby Naval'nogo) is a Russian underground organization (since 2022) and former network of regional organizations (in 2017–2021) founded by opposition leader Alexei Navalny as part of the 2017 presidential campaign. It lasted until April 2021, when the liquidation of the headquarters was announced in connection with the demand of the Moscow prosecutor's office to recognize the public movement "Navalny Headquarters" as an extremist organization.[1] It was re-established in October 2022.[2]
At the peak of Navalny's presidential campaign, 81 headquarters operated in the regions of Russia, including 11 "people's" ones — opened on the initiative of local residents on their own.[3][4] After the 2018 presidential election, headquarters continued to work in 45 main regions, their profile changed to a regional politicianу.[5]
