The Russian government is on edge as it braces for a second weekend of protests in support of jailed activist Alexei Navalny.

Navalny, who was allegedly poisoned by Russian intelligence operatives using a variant of the Novichok nerve agent while traveling, spent months recovering in Germany before returning to his home country. On arrival, he was arrested and jailed, prompting outrage among his supporters who took to the streets on Jan. 23 in a show of solidarity.
