Navalny quick facts
47. Navalny was born on June 4, 1976
Navalny is of Russian and Ukrainian descent. His father is from Zalissia, a former village near the Belarus border that was relocated due to the Chernobyl disaster in Ivankiv Raion, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine. Navalny grew up in Obninsk, about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southwest of Moscow, but spent his childhood summers with his grandmother in Ukraine, acquiring proficiency in the Ukrainian language. His parents, Anatoly Navalny and Lyudmila Navalnaya, own a basket-weaving factory, which they have run since 1994, in the village of Kobyakovo, Vologda Oblast.
Navalny graduated from Kalininets secondary school (level 3 according to the ISCED) in 1993. Navalny graduated from the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia in 1998 with a law degree. He then studied securities and exchanges at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, graduating in 2001. Navalny received a scholarship to the Yale World Fellows program at Yale University in 2010.
Navalny is married to Yulia Navalnaya and has two children, daughter Dasha, currently an undergraduate student at Stanford University, and son Zakhar.
Since 1998, Navalny worked as a lawyer for various Russian companies. In 2009, Navalny became an advocate and a member of advocate’s chamber (bar association) of Kirov Oblast. In 2010, due to his move to Moscow, he ceased to be a member of advocate’s chamber of Kirov Oblast and became a member of advocate’s chamber of Moscow. In November 2013, after the judgement in the Kirovles case had entered into force, Navalny was deprived of advocate status.
