'I'm Santa': Putin's critic breaks silence from icy prison
Jailed Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny confirms he has been shifted to the snow-swept Polar Wolf prison, one of the toughest prisons in Russia. The prison colony, about 60 km north of the Arctic Circle, was founded in the 1960s as part of the GULAG system. Navalny jokes about the harsh weather conditions and mentions receiving winter clothing. He takes a veiled potshot at Putin and expresses gratitude for the support received. Concerns over Navalny's wellbeing persist, and the US State Department remains deeply concerned about his unjust detention.
