Knock, knock: In late-night visits, officials in Moscow show up at the homes of dozens of Navalny supporters identified in data leaks and ask them to file police reports

Late on August 17, police officers across Moscow visited dozens of Alexey Navalny's former supporters whose personal information has leaked online in recent months. According to the human rights project OVD-Info, at least 170 people have heard from the authorities in the past 24 hours. Officials are reportedly singling out those who either registered with Navalny's team for protests in April, signed up for Navalny's "Smart Vote" strategic voting platform, or donated money at some point to the Anti-Corruption Foundation. Hackers previously stole and released these people's personal data, and the police are now asking victims to press charges against Navalny's team for mishandling their information. Meduza special correspondent Kristina Safonova spoke to several of the people visited by the authorities. Original Article: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2021/08/18/knock-knock
