TL;DR Summary

Supporters of jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny are calling for mass protests on his 47th birthday on Sunday, both inside and outside the country. The Navalny team is counting on Russian exiles spread around the globe to participate in the protests, but those still in Russia are given special status in the call to protest. The demonstration drive is designed to be a unifying moment, but it has exposed divisions among those Russians who have stayed in Russia and those who have left. The pressure on Navalny himself shows no sign of abating, either, now that he has been transferred to a maximum-security prison in Melekhovo, a town some 250 kilometers east of Moscow.
