Internal rift erupts within Navalny’s Anti‑Corruption Foundation

Meduza reports a growing scandal in the Anti‑Corruption Foundation (FBK) after former director Ivan Zhdanov gave an interview criticizing the organization’s leadership. The interview prompted Yulia Navalnaya to label Zhdanov’s statements a “lie” and say she removed him for weak management (33364), while Zhdanov himself alleges the current leadership has abandoned the foundation’s core principles (33366). The coverage also notes dueling accusations among ex‑officials (33363). Differences between sources lie in the perspective: Navalnaya’s denial versus Zhdanov’s accusations.
