Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny was splashed with green paint in the Siberian city of Barnaul during a presidential campaign trip.
Taking the splashing in his stride, Mr Navalny released a video, unwashed, emphasising his goal of un-seating current president Vladimir Putin.
“Maybe they in the Kremlin believe that I won’t make video addresses with a green face but I will definitely make them because even more people will watch them and it definitely won’t stop me,” he says.
“I appeal to everyone: take part in rallies against corruption across the country on March 26. We will definitely win!”
