The story of the American Expeditionary Force to northern Russia beggars belief. Nearly 5,000 “doughboys,” mostly Michiganders, landed in Archangel, Russia, in September 1918, in the midst of post-revolutionary chaos. On paper, the American troops, under British command alongside French, British, and White Russian comrades, had been sent to protect Allied supplies stored in Russia’s northern ports from the Germans; in reality, they fought the “Bolos”—British slang for the Bolshevik troops—as they advanced inland, seeking to connect with other White armies.

Just as the sentencing hearing began, Navalny raised his voice and said to his wife, “On the TV they said you’ve been violating public order. You’re a bad girl. I’m proud of you.”
To think that the briskly organized trial of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny would have any outcome but a harsh prison sentence would be absurdly naïve. The government was already infuriated that Navalny had dared to return to Moscow after surviving an assassination attempt; his devastating video exposé of Putin’s plutocratic lifestyle stripped away any pretense or pantomime of due process.
