Yashin, 39, is one of the few prominent opposition figures that refused to leave Russia despite the unprecedented pressure the authorities have mounted on dissent in recent years. A sharp critic of the Kremlin, a vocal ally of imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny and an uncompromising member of a Moscow municipal council, Yashin was arrested in June.
