Opposition politician Boris Nadezhdin, who criticized Russia's war in Ukraine and tried to challenge President Vladimir Putin in the 2024 election, said Monday he has left Russia, a move that follows a crackdown that barred him from a race for parliament this year.
Nadezhdin, 63, shared a video on Telegram, showing him standing in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
"Good news: I'm alive and free. Unfortunately, not in Russia for the time being," he said, adding that he needs "to look around and figure out life going forward."
