This was announced on Facebook by a Russian scientist, professor at Rutgers University in New Jersey, Sergei Erofeev.

“I am reporting this with the consent of those who did it. Not everyone is ready to reveal their names, but, one must assume, since this has turned out to be an almost massive process, sooner or later some names will emerge,” said Erofeev.

He also emphasized that the process of nominating Navalny was started by scientists, not politicians. However, according to Erofeev, “this does not mean that government officials or representatives of international organizations will not appear who will follow them.”

According to the rules of the Nobel Foundation, university rectors, professors of social sciences, history, philosophy, law and theology, as well as directors of research institutes for peace and foreign policy have the right to nominate a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.

They cannot confirm the information on the nomination of Alexei Navalny in the Nobel Committee, since it is prohibited by the charter: the names and other data of the nominees, according to the rules, can only be disclosed after 50 years.
