Navalna extended her heartfelt thanks to those who stood by her that day. "Thank you very much, wonderful. The best people stood with me today from 6 AM for 6 hours shoulder to shoulder in line at the polling station. Thank you for coming - we cried, we laughed. Thank you for endlessly shouting 'Julia, we're with you' and 'Navalny,'" - she shared.
