What was Navalny's central idea about corruption?

Answered in Alexei Navalny's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My central idea is that corruption is not a secondary issue; it is the foundation of the current regime. Putin's system is built on stealing from the people. They preach patriotism while lining their own pockets through illegal schemes, rigged tenders, and offshore accounts. This parasitic system devours the nation's resources, hindering genuine development and prosperity for everyone else. Exposing this theft, showing the tangible evidence of their ill-gotten gains, is the most effective way to undermine their legitimacy. This isn't politics; it's about reclaiming what is rightfully ours. The fight against corruption is the fight for a free Russia.
