Banking
Navalny has criticised the government for rescuing failing banks with taxpayers’ money.
Business
Navalny promises to reduce taxes on small business and regulation and make Russia’s economy less dependent on oil and gas. He would also cancel the Plato lorry drivers’ tax that sparked mass protests.
Chechnya
Navalny has said that billions of roubles are being sent to Chechnya, but the money isn’t reaching the people. He also accused Ramzan Kadyrov of ordering the murder of Boris Nemtsov.
Corruption
Navalny quoted Western economists’ estimate that 80 percent of Russia’s GDP is held offshore. He believes he can bring the money back. He says he will jail corrupt officials.
Crimea
Navalny once famously said that Crimea “isn’t a sandwich” and can’t just be handed back to Ukraine. But he has also said that no one in the world is going to recognise Crimea as Russian and that trying to keep it is costing Russia far too much.
Cryptocurrencies
Navalny sees no need for government regulation of cryptocurrencies.
Death penalty
Navalny says he is categorically against the death penalty.
Defence
Navalny says he would abolish conscription, which has become “a tax on the poor”. He promises to stop Russia’s involvement in wars, “open and covert” – “which are making us poor”.
Economy
Navalny says he would stop writing off foreign countries’ debts, as Putin has been doing.
Healthcare
Navalny tells crowds that Russia has no healthcare, AIDS is widespread, the mortality rate is high and he would like to be able to get a free MRI.
History
Navalny has promised to open the archives of the NKVD and the KGB.
Media
Navalny promises to shut down government media watchdog/censor Roskomnadzor and says oligarchs will not be allowed to own media outlets “because they manipulate public opinion”.
Migration
Navalny says he would introduce a visa requirement for people from Central Asian countries to limit the number coming to work in Russia.
Political system
Navalny says he would dissolve parliament and announce new elections in which all parties could participate.
Religion
Navalny says he is a religious believer but “I don’t like when the church gives orders to the Investigations Committee”.
Same-sex marriage
Navalny says he would follow the path of the United States and hold regional referendums on same-sex marriage.
Trade
Navalny says he sees foreign countries as global partners and wants to trade with them.

Navalny vs. Putin 
Alexei’s policies largely reflect Russia’s needs and seem to be positive. However, Russia has been and still is a world player, who’s influence has been necessary for the balance of power in the globe. For example, Russia’s involvement during the Vietnam war has meant that Vietnam is now an independent country (not under French or U.S rule), there are no U.S military bases in Vietnam. Russia’s leader does not only have to be a leader for Russia but be an example of leadership to the world.
You see Putin Putin has put Russia on the map again. Putin deals with leaders of other nations diplomatically and personably. He implores that international laws are upheld, though there are other world players who do not abide by international law (I don’t have to tell which nation, you know who I’m talking about).
Alexei’s modern policies are for a more modern Russia, which will come in time, but a leader like Putin is not only what Russia needs right now, its what the world needs.
I have some questions. First: The title says Navalny vs Putin. Why is there no mention of Putin’s policies. 2nd: Who funds Alexei Navalny? Why isn’t anyone questioning corruption or the lengths that Alexei Navalny has gone to for his political race.
Russia…..You have a good leader, stop complaining.

There is plenty of reporting about Putin’s speeches and policies on this website. I wrote all these articles completely unpaid, if you don’t find enough information about Putin’s policies I’m sure you can find it elsewhere.
