Navalny is proposed to be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature
If the liberal Alexei Navalny cannot be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, then he can be nominated for the same prize in literature.
Opposition political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky stated this on air on Ekho Moskvy radio, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Alexey Anatolyevich has already published posts on Instagram this week... This, on the one hand, means that, I think, already in October of this year we will see Alexey Anatolyevich Navalny in Russia, in excellent shape, and, therefore, his career as a leading Russian oppositionist will enter a new stage.
On the other hand, the perfection and the irony with which he writes about his condition once again remind us of his literary gift. And the other day there was a lot of talk about the fact that Alexei Anatolyevich Navalny could be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, maybe this will happen.
He can also be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. I think that until Svetlana Aleksandrovna Alekseevich became the President of the Republic of Belarus, and she still has some free time, it would be possible to discuss this prospect with her, as a Nobel laureate,” Belkovsky said.
Sergei Erofeev, a professor at the American University of Rutgers, said earlier that Navalny should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize on Echo of Moscow. Former Polish Prime Minister and ex-President of the European Council Donald Tusk proposed nominating former Belarusian presidential candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya and her husband Sergei. In addition, US President Donald Trump has already been nominated for the Nobel Prize.
Belarusian writer Svetlana Alexievich received the Nobel Prize in 2015 for a series of books based on transcripts of her interviews. Many felt that the award was politically motivated (Aleksievich openly adheres to Russophobic views) and discredited the most famous award.
