Mourners chant Alexey Navalny’s name and say they will not forgive Russian authorities for his death.


Under a heavy police presence, hundreds of people bade farewell to Alexey Navalny in Moscow after his still unexplained death two weeks ago in an Arctic penal colony.

The funeral on Friday of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest critic followed a battle with authorities over the release of his body.

Navalny’s supporters said several churches in Moscow refused to hold a service for the man who crusaded against official corruption. Many Western leaders blamed his death on the Russian president, an accusation the Kremlin rejects.

Navalny’s team eventually got permission from the Church of the Icon of Our Lady Quench My Sorrows, which was encircled by crowd-control barriers on Friday. Hours before the funeral started, hundreds of people waited to enter under the watch of police.

Western diplomats were spotted in the long line along with presidential hopefuls Boris Nadezhdin and Yekaterina Duntsova. Both wanted to run against Putin in this month’s presidential election and oppose his war in Ukraine. Neither was allowed on the ballot.

After the hearse arrived at the church, the coffin was taken out of the vehicle as the crowd applauded and chanted: “Navalny! Navalny!” Some also shouted: “You weren’t afraid. Neither are we!”

A photo from inside the church showed an open coffin with Navalny’s body covered with red and white flowers and his mother sitting beside it holding a candle. Navalny’s father was also present, but it wasn’t clear who else in his family attended.

His widow, Yulia Navalnaya, is outside Russia and did not attend the funeral. Their daughter is a student at Stanford University in California, and the whereabouts of their son are unknown.

The politician’s closest associates have all left Russia under pressure and watched the funeral, footage of which was streamed live on his YouTube channel, from abroad.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov urged those gathering in Moscow and other places not to break the law, saying any “unauthorised gatherings” are violations.

A burial followed at the nearby Borisovskoye Cemetery, where police also showed up in force. Crowds from the church marched there after the funeral ended, chanting: “No to war” and “Love is more powerful than fear.

Rest in peace Mr Navalny

Putin should stop killing innocent Russians and opposition leaders, it's not good for his image

No, I can't be talking about Nigeria everyday, I've been doing that for decades and nothing has changed.

Atleast few don de wise,than leaking putin ass nd immortalizing him by making him an idol,with this going the will rise up and fight against this draconian anargy government

Ok

Hmm

Despite, Putin is never lacking in his responsibility to his people unlike Africa dumb head presidents.

RIP.

The man may be dead, but the idea is very much alive.

In the words of Medgar Evers:
"you can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea."

It's the weekend again,

Live your life for God. The weekend is for rest and not fornication or other sins. God hates sin and if you want to please Him, stay away from sin, pray more often and read your Bible.

You have not and can never commit an unpardonable sin but you must return always to ask for mercy and forgiveness.

Prov.28.13 - He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

Fall of the Reich: The beginning

Na who motivate am de responsible, if you know the hammer you would avoid the sickle

This Putin sef

C.I. A agent, goodbye.

Putin will meet his doomsday soon

Malroux:

And who gives you the right to tell another adult on what he should and shouldn't focus on? If you want to use all your life to focus on Nigeria's problems, go ahead.

Una dey ment for this nairaland o

Focus on yourself. Stop suppressing people for expressing their opinions.

Nairaland is filled with funny people...i remember some were saying he is still alive and used as a chess by putin and that his corpse won't be released so the west doesn't have access to it
Awon conspiracy theorists isonu

Putin beware, the Ides of March.

Putin doings.

Do you know the funniest thing about these pictures? I am living in Russia and I am looking at this news as if it happened in a different foreign country far away. As in, Russia is very big and unique. My city is about 7- 9 hours from Moscow based on your type of plane.
.
Most flight would make a stop in Krasnoyarsk or Irkutsk before going to my city increasing travel time to like 13 hours.
.
In comparison, direct from Nigeria to Moscow before Ukraine war was about 6 to 8 hours!
.
.
But every part of Russia is developed. This is where UK and europe. should learn. You colonized a lot of countries and milked them dry...but Russia has a lot of federations in it and the government equally developed every part. Every part of Russia wants to keep being Russia because they love the leadership but how many African countries want to keep being a part of their colonial empire? It says a lot.
.
I am not a 'pro Putin' I really see myself as a neutral person in world politics but to be really honest, If a country in Africa was colonized by Russia, that country would be competing with Europe and china in terms of development today. Look at all the breakaway countries from former USSR which one of them is poor and suffering? Russia was not milking those people, Russia was developing it.
.
Judging by the very few people that live in my city 350k you would think this place would be a village but no! Pretoria and Johannesburg combined cannot be compare with Yakutsk even though this is the coldest city in the world.
.
To crown it all, Russians love black people. You can even see it in President Putin's policies. Unfortunately we were colonized by Europeans that actually hate black people. One fool from Belgium was even cutting arms of thousands of people in Congo! Chai...Africa has really suffered in the hands of these European supremacists.
.
One of my female friends in the city often send me pictures of half cast kids asking me what I think our baby would look like...I keep avoiding that question.
.
We walk on the street at night as if it's afternoon
No gun violence.
People kiss and hug and display affection publicly without being mocked
.
Everywhere is peaceful
No one avoids you in the bus because of your colour.
.
If people look at you too much just know they are fascinated and want to talk. A simple Привет! And you will see them smiling and asking you questions.
.
.
Honestly...Russia is the country Africa should have befriended a long time ago.
