Alexey has just one sibling – Oleg Navalny. The age difference between them is 7 years, that’s why they spent time in different companies – both with their peers. Nevertheless, the brothers were very close.

Oleg has never been interested in politics, but he participated in several rallies – he wanted to struggle for his human rights. The man worked as a logistician and an entrepreneur. He used to work at the company “Post of Russia” before his imprisonment in 2014. Oleg and his brother Alexey were accused by the Yves Rocher Vostok director Bruno Leproux of causing financial loss to the company. Several years before it Leproux signed the deal with Glavpodpiska, the transport company, founded by the Navalny brothers. Then Bruno accused the brothers in overpricing their services. The judge sentenced Oleg to three years of prison. After releasing from prison Oleg opened the prison tattoo exhibition and published a book on the same topic.

As for his personal life, Oleg is married to a woman, named Victoria. They have two sons – Ostap and Stepan.

Bio

Alexei Anatolievich Navalny was a Russian lawyer, anti-corruption activist and opposition politician. He founded the Anti-Corruption Foundation in 2011 and became internationally known for investigations into alleged corruption among senior Russian officials and state-linked businesses.

Navalny survived a 2020 poisoning with a Novichok nerve agent, which was confirmed by laboratories in Germany, France and Sweden and by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. He returned to Russia in January 2021, was arrested and later received prison sentences that he and international observers described as politically motivated.

Navalny died on February 16, 2024, aged 47, in the IK-3 penal colony above the Arctic Circle. Russian authorities attributed the death to natural causes and arrhythmia. In February 2026, the governments of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands said laboratory analysis had conclusively detected the toxin epibatidine in samples from his body and concluded that the Russian state had the means, motive and opportunity to poison him; Russia denied responsibility.
