Aleksei Navalny was a prominent Russian opposition figure known for his criticisms of Vladimir Putin. These criticisms led to years of repression by the authorities. On February 15, 2024, news broke globally of Navalny's death in a high-security penal colony, where he had been placed following a court sentencing.
According to prison officials, Navalny collapsed after a walk and could not be revived despite attempts at resuscitation. Later, the Russian TV channel RT attributed his death to "a blood clot detachment," although this explanation is met with skepticism by many. The opposition figure was laid to rest on March 1 of the same year at the Borisov Cemetery in Moscow, attracting large numbers of mourners to his funeral.
