David M. Herszenhorn, Russia, Ukraine, and East Europe Editor of the Washington Post and author of The Dissident: Alexey Navalny: Profile of a Political Prisoner, joins The Realignment. Marshall and David discuss how Alexey Navalny became Russian President Vladimir Putin's most formidable rival, the tradition of the "dissident" in Russian and Soviet history, what an alternative vision for a democratic Russia could look like, and whether a democratic Russia with a leader in the style of Navalny would have a positive relationship with the West and its former Soviet neighbors?
