The scientists started the initiative to nominate the oppositionists

Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny was nominated for Nobel Peace Prize as Professor of New Jersey Rutgers University Sergei Erofeev reported on Facebook.

“There is more news about Alexei Navalny: today, a number of professors of recognised universities who deal with Russia nominated him for Nobel Peace Prize. It is not a new idea but it became more relevant and should receive wide response,” Erofeev wrote.

He noted that the scientists started the initiative to nominate the oppositionists. According to Erofeev, the professors might be supported by the government officials or representatives of the international organizations. The scientists also said that some people negatively treated the activity of Navalny earlier but they changed their minds.

Earlier, MP from the Norwegian Progress Party Christian Tibring-Gedde nominated US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. He could be awarded for his efforts to resolve long-term conflicts between different countries.
