Discontent for Russian President Vladimir Putin is "growing" throughout Russia, according to former Kremlin speechwriter Abbas Gallymov.

Speaking with CNN's Erin Burnett on Wednesday, Gallymov said that the Kremlin's reaction to the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny will fuel the already growing restlessness among citizens ahead of Russia's next presidential election in March.

"Sooner or later, it will definitely backfire, because this discontent is growing," Gallymov told Burnett.
