Putin’s power ‘now absolute’ after Navalny’s death
The Russian president despised the popular opposition figure and security forces will ensure his mourners are arrested “and then everything will die out”.
Hours after learning her husband Alexei Navalny had probably died in a remote Russian penal colony, Yulia Navalnaya made an unplanned appearance at the Munich Security Conference to tell western leaders who she held responsible.
“If this is true, I want Putin and all of his entourage, Putin’s friends and his government to know they will be held accountable for what they have done to our country, to my family and to my husband. And that day will come very soon,” Navalnaya said.
