Russian political opposition leader Alexey Navalny is the latest subject to be tackled by the burgeoning not-fungible token art world. An animation inspired by the recently-arrested Kremlin critic was minted into an NFT and released on the SuperRare platform on Jan. 21.

The 1/one artwork, simply chosen "Navalny," is the first slice that pseudonymous creative person @brickspacer111 has minted on the platform.

The 3D rendered piece starts with a close upwards of Navalny's hand making the "V for Victory" sign. As the camera pulls back we see that he stands in front of a huge bust of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The view continues to widen, showing that Navalny stands on tiptop of a pile of books and filing cabinets, holding the scales of justice, while police with riot gear and truncheons effort to reach him and bluish and ruddy flashing lights illuminate the scene.

The names of Putin's alleged inner circle then flash onto the bust's cheeks, while allusions to the reported "aqua disco" at the palace allegedly being built for the Russian president appear on its forehead.

Navalny recently returned to Russia from Germany, where he had been recovering from an bump-off endeavor. Investigators discovered that the pro-Bitcoin politician had been poisoned with a nervus agent, Novichok, while touring Siberia in August 2020.

The Russian authorities arrested him as he arrived at the airdrome for violating the probation terms of a previous embezzlement charge, which Navalny says is politically motivated.

Following his arrest, Navalny was tried in a closed hearing at a police station in Moscow, a do which he criticized in a video every bit highly irregular and flouting the laws of the Russian Federation.

Since beingness arrested, Navalny's team has released a documentary film containing allegations about a then-called "Putin's Palace." The film claims that this $1 billion palace complex beingness built on the Blackness Sea declension belongs to Putin and has been paid for "with the largest bribe in history."

The film received over twenty million views in the first twenty-four hours of its release on YouTube.
