psychologically speaking, he's closer to putin than to boris nemtsov, who had a phd in physics and startedterviewing andrei sapper. navalny was the son of a junior military officer with a rural background, so his path was not without mistakes, but i think what was unique about him was his capacity to learn. he moved very quickly, innovating all the time. his learning was not for the sake of learning. he brought us—style campaigning to russia. he was probably the only true retail politician in russia. he organised events, created a network of supporters and, through that, learned the value of democracy and free speech. so this combination, the ability to see eye to eye with ordinary people — even his prison guards, even they couldn't conceal their affection to him. how popular was he? sorry to interrupt, as you say, he learned very quickly, he used social media and american—style campaigning. in that sense, he learned very quickly. but he didn't hesitate to put himself in harm's way, did he? he never did, and i think that again is something unique about his personality. it was such a stark

nemtsov, who was killed in 2015, who spoke about putin's corruption , of course, this was quite seriouslycted in the attitude towards him, and by and large... made him the regime 's number one target, and besides, he was much more charismatic than most of the russian opposition , this must also be admitted, he was a person who could bring a large number of people to the streets to defend him, no one else could do it, by and large, remember all these repressions against the russian opposition that took place over the years, and not a single person was perceived like this , as it was perceived by the average russian, primarily in moscow. because once again people perceived navalny as a person who fights for justice, why did navalny return after being poisoned, this is also an interesting story, but we may not underestimate it, some may consider it stupidity, some may consider it courage, but otherwise, the person was not afraid to challenge the regime, which actually wanted to destroy him, because poisoning a newcomer was no joke, huh. i think that on the one hand there was an underestimati

nemtsov, that other opposition leader who was killed really insight of the kremlin on that bridge. there were rallies, there were marches, thousands of people turned out this is very different. so that is the context here, but it is still a flash of bravery they asked for the body. what's been three days now, we know that an a valent, his mother and his lawyer flew out to that remote polar region on saturday. they've been given a lot of conflicting information and of course, navalny's team is accusing the russian authorities of hiding the body. no news as of yet as to when it's been released, the investigative committee in that region says that another investigation still has to be carried out, so they are still waiting anna and clare, there are fears of further oppression of from the russian government or an, a broader crackdown ahead of those supposed elections, next month, elections that will almost certainly give putin a fifth term in power. tell us so about these latest amnesty international report that speaks to those concerns. >> yeah, this is exactly what we're talking abou

nemtsov, murdered in the shadow of the kremlin. the message from putin conversely, is that he somehow thinks this project strength. but what kind of strong man needs to murder someone who was already languishing in his jail it's a very almost barbaric message to the world that he's indifferent in fact, who are criticism. and then he will persevere on his course and then how influential, important, or even reassuring might it be for vice president harris >> to convey the message as she has and to meet with allies is still a guest at the former president's threat of letting russia have at any contrary great that doesn't pay up, so to speak, is >> she offering >> assurances because many nato members have said they're already thinking about their backup plan and have so for a while yeah. >> well, first of all, the problem is, what is the backup plan? there isn't an obvious or easy backup plan if american leadership disappears from europe and from the nato alliance. but yes, that was, i think the goal of vice president harris is trip to

nemtsov and my first, my husband's first poisoning two months after that. both things happened in 2015. i have been leaving with this understanding that anything can happen i'm not the only one feeling shore this way. in russia, there are hundreds and hundreds of political prisoners and many of them are treated the same way held in isolation deprived of contact with their families, and being subject to daily torture and yulia navalnaya is vowing at this point to continue the work of her husband. she has urged others to stand with her in that fight is enough. >> we can >> opposition leaders who were in exile be effective against putin because navalny your husband, they made a calculation that they needed to be in russia. how can the movements succeed from outside? >> first of, all i want to say that my heart goes out to you and that i can feel her pain and millions of people all over the world feel her pain and i stand with her as far as opposing vitamin putin's regime, i believe that the only way we can achieve that we can bring closer the day when the regi

boris nemtsov once one of russia's most outspoken opposition leaders, was gunned down on a bridge at the foot of the kremlin in 2015 on a polic cuff skier, a problem? i'm going to journalist was a vocal critic of putin's regime and the wars in chechnya. she was shot and killed in her moscow apartment building in 2006. then there were the former russian spies who putin saw as threats with every putin has a particular beef with people he calls traitors and he has gone after them in various parts of the world, including in london, in the case of a former fsb agent, alexander litvinenko, as well as the attack on a former soviet double agent, sergei skripal hall and the southern english city of salisbury in 2018, former spy sergei skripal and his daughter for were poisoned and nearly killed in britain with the powerful nerve agent novichok, an attack which british investigators tied to putin in 2006, former russian intelligence agent alexander litvinenko, who'd been digging up information potentially tying putin to organized crime, was killed in london when someone slipped the radioactive

nemtsov with whom we worked in late '90s was also so murdered nine years ago, exactly. the same late days of february. so it's really hard to comprehend, but we need to move on and we need to be strong and continue to fight putin's regime >> in terms of how russians are reacting. given the level of repression that we're seeing even for anyone seen to support him. what have you been seeing and hearing? >> well, first, you really got understand the extreme level of repressions in russia because you probably saw the footage of people being arrested and detained. just who are laying flowers in memory of navalny. however, we do see that people are coming in in large numbers and the authorities to have this improvised, the flower memorials removed, but then people bringing flowers again. so we see that navalny's murder actually resonates squad strongly across the country. however, again, the environment is so repressive that we probably should not expect any serious mass protests by now. but navalny in his less political call right before the murlin, actually cold people to c

nemtsov, neck-and-neck navalny -- like alexei navalny, and i just hope that all of us do a lot to change the situation inside russia, because we do need a post-putin of as soon as possible. it is too murderous. too atrocious. the beautiful russia of the future that alexei navalny believed in is really something we do need. it is very possible. we do deserve it. the world will be better. this may be but it is also what gives us motivation and courage. alexei said it himself in the interview and in many other interviews, that if it ever happens, it means putin feels that him and people like him, it means the regime is not strong at all. if it is scared of people who are in jail very far north. and also we should think about the other political prisoners. they are not safe, of them. i am immediately thinking about vladimir kara-murza, evan gershkovich, and many others. we can't sit still. we should act and act more and double our efforts. thank you. panelist: thank you. panelist: where you --very hard to add to what they said. but i would say that this solemn news today, if it turns out to

he was such a clear leader even when boris nemtsov was alive he organized a really impressive organization nationwide before it was shut down and raised to the ground by the kremlin. now that he is gone, i think the only person who could potentially carry on his legacy is his wife what is so striking about her announcement this morning, in addition to the fact that it's only been three days since her since she learned of her husband's death, you can see in the video that she's clearly been crying for most of those three days >> and >> what's remarkable is the whole time navalny was entering politics for last 15 or so years. yulia was always at his side, but always staying out of the limelight. she was his supporter. she was his adviser, but she never wanted to steal the spotlight from him. he was the face of the movement. she in the very few interview she gave, she was very press shy. she said, i don't want to be a politician myself because when alexei navalny was poisoned in august of 2020, people said, could yulia navalny be the new leader of the opposition? she said absolutely not. i wa

boris nemtsov once one of russia's most outspoken opposition leaders, was gunned down on, on a bridge at the foot of the kremlin in 2015 on a polic cuff skier, a prominent journalist was a vocal critic of putin's regime in the wars in chechnya she was shot and killed in her moscow apartment building in 2006. then there were the former russian spies who putin saw as threats with emmer. >> putin has a particular beef with people he calls traitors, and he has gone after them in various parts of the world, including in london. in the case of a former fsb agent, alexander litvinenko as well as the attack on a former soviet double agent sergei script hall and the southern english city of salisbury in 2018, former spy sergei skripal and his daughter were poisoned and nearly killed in britain with the powerful nerve agent novichok, an attack which british investigators tied to putin in 2006, former russian intelligence agent alexander litvinenko, who'd been digging up information potentially tying putin to organized crime, was killed in london when someone slipped the radioactive substance po

nemtsov was shot really on the approach to the kremlin that did spark a significant reaction. this is nothing like that. people are simply too afraid. the crackdown, yes. the police presence than people being carried off, people's faces? being shoved into the snow that we've seen that does smack of a kremlin that is rattled by this sort of very presence of the theme of navalny. but overall, i don't think the kremlin sees this as a crisis and just quickly a comment from them in the last hour or say a thing that they have nothing to do with returning navalny's body, which is still not been returned to his family i'm ready, but they did say that an investigation into this is underway. >> okay. >> claire, this of course, taking place against the backdrop of putin's war in ukraine and over the weekend, russia announced that they were fully in control of a ukrainian city. adiivka you can cranial troops withdrew from there on friday night. how serious is that for the ukrainians >> this was not unexpected for the ukrainians. they had warned back in december that the sheer amount of tr

. >> uh, in 2015, as far as i remember, boris nemtsov was killed a very near to the kremlin .n fact, they found those guys who killed nemtsov there were some guys from chechnya. they arrested them. they sent him to prison for about 20 years. they're serving time. >> mm . >> mm. >> mm. >> so in every case, my point is that in every case, we need solid evidence. it's very easy. it's very it's very. >> we're not going to get it, though, are we? we're not going to get i mean, no, you know, at the moment there are you may but at the moment with at at the moment with respect at the moment there are protests taking around taking place, we believe, around the area. and as we the moscow area. and as we understand it, journalists have been arrested, etc. again, this is videos coming out is from videos coming out online. that's the best we can do. in moscow, right? do. i'm not in moscow, right? but is best can but this is the best that we can do so if you are do with it. so if you are in a country where it appears that journalists a protest journalists go to a protest and get and then we

nemtsov, another opposition politician who was shotjust by the kremlin, so that is one thing to bearinlarly charismatic and effective politician. he was a man who used social media extremely effectively to reach very large audiences and the topic he chose to focus on was corruption and the fight against corruption. he worked very hard with a team of extremely young and energetic allies, political team to create videos and social media content that exposed through investigations corruption at the very highest level of the russian state. and i think that really hurt vladimir putin's people around him and vladimir putin himself. in fact, the last investigation that navalny�*s team did was into the sources of vladimir putin's own wealth, so that was dangerous for vladimir putin, for the kremlin and certainly he will not have liked that in any sense at all.- that in any sense at all. sarah rainsford. — that in any sense at all. sarah rainsford, thank— that in any sense at all. sarah rainsford, thank you - that in any sense at all. sarah rainsford, thank you so - that in any sense at all. sa

maybe coincidentally, or maybe not, today marks the ninth anniversary of the murder of boris nemtsov.hroughout proceedings, oleg orlov sat with a copy of the trial by franz kafka. it tells the story of a man put on trial by an unknown authority for an unknown crime. oleg orlev knew who was prosecuting him and what crime he was accused of committing. that does not make his fate any less absurd. let's talk to nataliya sekretareva, human rights lawyer who works as head of the legal team at the memorial human rights defence centre. thank you talking to us. oleg orlev is 70, jailed for 2.5 years. how worried are you about his safety? we worried are you about his safety? - are extremely worried because he is 70 years old, russian prison is very far from a 70 years old, russian prison is very farfrom a beach resort. we can 70 years old, russian prison is very far from a beach resort. we can see that he'd been very healthy and young people, if they survive the prison sentence they leave deeply traumatised psychologically and with the really deteriorated health. so it is already extremely worr

. >> we saw it with skripal, we saw it with boris nemtsov, who was the true opposition leader in 2015uff. but what the death does, mark, is the culmination of the kremlin's effort to eliminate all sources of opposition . um, all sources of opposition. um, and don't forget , navalny was and don't forget, navalny was barred from the 2018 election in the same way that boris dean has been barred from the 2022 election. he was the independent candidate, so this is really putin consolidating his power. if you get in his way , he'll get if you get in his way, he'll get rid of you. that's exactly what happened after prigozhin and the coup or suspected mutiny , uh, coup or suspected mutiny, uh, last year. and does this indeed increase the call for more funding for ukraine? >> the republican party in the us are arming and arming about sending another. i think it's 90 million or billion. is it billion dollars ? yeah, another billion dollars? yeah, another $90 billion. just insane amounts of money. does this give the case more weight ? case more weight? >> it's not a causal link, but, uh, there's

nemtsov, who was the sort of alexey navalny of his time, if you like, he was the most vocal critic, the most prominent opposition figure against the kremlin. he was gunned down outside the walls of the kremlin and the list goes on. and so again in this is shocking, but it does fit into a pattern of critics of the kremlin who meet sticky ends, uracil, and recruiting a lot of people end up dead. a lot of people have fallen out of windows, literally or pushed, who knows, defenestration is an interesting word in russia. clarissa ward, can you speak to the years of courage that alexey navalny showed. it's something that you saw firsthand well, the decision john, to go back to russia when i interviewed him shortly after he was >> recuperating from being poisoned with novichok. and i said, why would you go back? you know, the risks, you know, that they tried to kill you, but he was very sanguine about the risks. he was very determined to see and fulfill his mission, which he believed was to serve the russian people. he understood implicitly that he could not do that in exile. he knew the r
