Russians gathered in Moscow to bid farewell to Alexei Navalny, Putin’s outspoken critic, as he was laid to rest.
His funeral, marked by chants and displays of defiance, drew thousands mourning his death in an Arctic penal colony.
Despite risks, public demonstrations occurred, reflecting discontent.
Navalny’s passing leaves Russia’s opposition vulnerable, with key figures imprisoned or in exile.
The Kremlin’s denial of involvement in his death clashes with accusations from supporters.
Navalny’s mother struggled to secure a public funeral, while his wife, Yulia, pledged to continue his work.
Putin remains silent on Navalny’s demise.
