Navalny's Mocking Requests for Moonshine and a Kangaroo in Russian Jail

TL;DR Summary
Imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny released sarcastic demands for a bottle of moonshine, a balalaika, and even a kangaroo in his cell, which were all denied by prison officials. Navalny, who has spent almost 180 days in solitary confinement, is serving a nine-year sentence for fraud and contempt of court, charges he says were trumped up for his efforts to expose official corruption and organize anti-Kremlin protests. He will mark his 47th birthday on Sunday, and there have been calls by his team for protests to support him.
