Jailed Putin critic Alexei Navalny's team releases new pictures they claim show a pole-dancing room inside 'the Russian President's £1billion Black Sea palace'

Alexei Navalny‘s team has released a picture they claim shows a pole-dancing room inside Vladimir Putin‘s alleged £1 billion Black Sea palace.

The room had previously been pictured in computer images based on leaked detailed plans of the property, released by the jailed opposition leader. 

But now Navalny’s team claim to have found thousands of actual photographs of the palace confirming a ‘striptease’ room known as a ‘hookah’ with a stage and performer’s pole.

The striptease hall, hookah, call it what you want, really exists,’ says a commentary with a video about the pictures. ‘And it looks much worse than we could imagine.’

A computer generated image showing how the Navalny team had imagined the pole-dancing boudoir was released a year ago, based on leaked plans which also included a casino and ‘aqua disco’. 

The photograph now shows what they claim is the striptease room in reality inside the palace when it was still under construction.
