In Vladimir Putin’s march toward dictatorship, one of the darker moments was the poisoning of the opposition leader Alexey Navalny, almost certainly by the Russian F.S.B. security services. After surviving the assassination attempt, Navalny returned to Russia, only to be arrested and sent to a penal colony. “I think Putin wants him to suffer a lot and then die in prison,” Navalny’s colleague Maria Pevchikh tells David Remnick. Pevchikh served as an executive producer of the documentary “Navalny,” which is nominated for an Academy Award. Plus, Chloe Bailey—one half of the pop duo Chloe x Halle—talks with the contributor Lauren Michele Jackson about striking out on her own for the first time. “Right now, I’m just creating to be creating, and I have never felt more free,” she says. And we look at why a cache of images by one of the masters of photography, Henri Cartier-Bresson, was suppressed and forgotten, until now.
