Sobchak responded to the criticism of Navalny and accused him of warlordism
Journalist Ksenia Sobchak on his page on Instagram posted a response to opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who has previously attacked her with criticism because of information in the media about her plans to participate in presidential elections.

Sobchak also criticized Navalny for what he called its right-liberal views cannibalistic, and that he had given her the words and ideas that she never said or shared.
According to the journalist, the most offensive to her was the fact that Navalny had previously convinced her to enter the Coordinating Council of the Opposition, and now from his words that her place in showbiz.
