A whistleblower in Russia

In the age of Assange, whistle blowers are in vogue.

The Guardian had a story on Russian blogger Alexey Navalny and his efforts to jail the corrupt!

The article describes him as "Russia's chief whistleblower – a one-man WikiLeaks" who has made a career of going after Russia's untouchables. He uses publicly available information - an audit report in this case to get after Transneft - the state pipeline monopoly. How cool is that!

The story concludes on his quote - "But Navalny says he has no fear. "Any person who undertakes independent action in Russia – in journalism, business, anything – takes on risk," he said. "I can understand they can do whatever they want, but that won't stop me."" May force be with him.
