This is GPS, the global public square. Welcome to all of you in the United States and around the world. I'm Farid Zakaria.

Today on the program, President Putin's most formidable political revival was locked up two years ago.

But Aleksandr Navalny still has a voice. His message carried on by his inner circle,
