Hey OnPolitics readers. Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, issued a fierce statement on Monday vowing to continue her husband's work. |
Navalny was Russian President Vladimir Putin's most significant opponent in recent years. His wife's response comes as Navalny's family and political aides have demanded that Russia's authorities return his body from an Arctic prison, USA TODAY's Kim Hjelmgaard reported. Navalny's allies believe he was murdered on Putin's orders. |
Navalny's work: Navalny's death robs Russia of its most high-profile Putin foe. He spent years in and out of Russia's jails. He also nearly died in 2020 when he was poisoned with Novichok, a Soviet-era nerve agent. |
What's next for political opposition in Russia? Russia has long had repressive laws that criminalize political dissent. However, that crackdown has hardened even further since Russia invaded Ukraine. It has led to the arrest of thousands of ordinary Russians for even questioning the war or expressing sympathy with Ukrainians. |
What has Russia said about Navalny's death? The Kremlin has not formally disputed Navalnaya's claim that it had a hand in her husband's killing. | | | | Donald Trump's relationship with Vladimir Putin is now front-and-center in the South Carolina primary and likely general election match-up with President Joe Biden | | | | Nikki Haley argued on Monday that it wasn't her role as South Carolina governor to pick 'right' and 'wrong' in the 2015 debate over removing a Confederate flag. | | | | Rep. Rashida Tlaib is urging Michigan Democrats to vote "uncommitted" in the Democratic primary to protest Biden's backing of Israel's war in Gaza. | | | | Federal and state governments nationwide create legislature and task forces to limit or ban political AI deepfakes. | | | | The former president, already the longest living commander-in-chief, turned 99 while in hospice care last year. | | | | | This 7-day newsletter course will help you be an informed voter before Nov. 5. | | | | | | | |
