Russia activist Navalny enters Moscow mayor race [View all]
Prominent Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny has registered to stand in September's vote for Moscow mayor.
Police briefly detained Mr Navalny as he addressed supporters outside the city's election commission office where he submitted registration documents.
The anti-corruption blogger, 37, faces a verdict next week in an embezzlement trial.
He denies allegations he took $500,000 from a state timber firm and says the charges are politically motivated.
