even though they to it's completely unclear under what circumstances and i've only di, it's all we have is it didn't pull it from the present administration. does it nev only felt ill yesterday during a whole completely different information came from the investigation committee, obviously to offend the heart of the regional capital in the arctic. when of all these prison camp is located, the vase to add to that to the cause of death, hadn't been clarified until that they would have to wait for the results of the forensic examination. next week is also completely unclear away and of all his dead bodies. at 1st, it was sad that the body would it be transferred to moscow. often that's the volley . when the volume is mazda arrived today in the prison camp, she was told that her son's body was, is the regional capital some work there. however, these information of wisconsin, i think that once again, we are seeing typical ration. mystery no matter what the problem is, but it isn't what she died off. there is no transparency of this metal,
8:05 pm
which in turn could mean is it the or it is have some 6 to heights here and there are lots of questions being raised by the official line. so what are nevada and his team saying about, are often of all these themes of meta is clear. pablo, she's press secretary, sat to that and i look say, has been killed and we've just had it here. however, no concrete evidence was provided as an independent russian media have spoken to the inmates over the prison when i've only withheld and have learned many interesting details of yesterday's events. reading all these reports, one might get the impression that the official version may not be true. presumably the volley died earlier than the official or presumably imagined seductive didn't arise quickly enough. and his former doctor has also sat to visit the she doesn't believe or he didn't believe that in the volley died because of the broken loose
8:06 pm
from bushes. if this is what does it actually stayed propaganda? tinlar t suspected that our video is from the cold. here in a few days ago when a volume was joking to pull it up to mystic as always, so lots of questions and no answer so far. tell us about the public reaction in russia to his death series, as well as even zill rushes. most famous opposition to politician had become somewhat quieter in the recent t. s. as in use of nevada and his dad shocked. of course, people in his home country, hundreds of how many thousands of russians brought flowers to the memorials of the victims of political oppression, spontaneously showings, interest on the deputy with a volley. this is not without danger and put in special, but in the volley was something like public enemy number one and hundreds of arrests through all of the russia show. just how dangerous it is with the police taking off action against the volume to support this the,

8:10 pm
a russia analyst at the think tank. chatham has in the u. k. thanks for joining us here on the don't even use care. and what do you make of nevada and these deaf that have come as a surprise to you know, absolutely no it's and it probably wouldn't come as a surprise to nevada the himself either anybody is being paying attention to the direction the russian has been going and not just over the last couple of years, but over the last decade will have track to the process of motoring opponents. and critics of the regime of what you'll report just now really just showed the tip of the iceberg. just the most prominent the most well known individuals with listed this but there are many, many more. and of course we have to bear in mind when russia is mowed a games, wrote him across europe. we only find out about the only successful attacks if they succeed in killing somebody with no joke. we don't know about it is only the ones that felt like this could be files like the violet himself, like automotives or like a 1000000 get. but if the bulgarian arms dealer, because some accident saves them,
8:11 pm
we know what happened. how many more do we not know about here at nevada, these team have squarely blamed for his death, but doesn't killing such a prominent opposition leader or figure create a rallying point. then for the public, so potentially, but of course we have to remember that russia has been preparing for this moment for some time. they've been putting themselves in a position where they don't have to be concerned about public expressions of discontent and weighing up the balance of removing the phone. you as an irritant, who actually gathers quite a lot of foreign policy and criticism of russia against what it will take to, to repress those expressions of concern and expressions of morning within russia. you can see why this is a good bet for the rest of the state because they have long ago left behind any pretence of being a responsible country. the place by any form of recognized rules. and instead, they are back to behaving as a rogue state that commits motor without a qualm. given the threats of arrest or even worse, and for site and evolved,
8:12 pm
the supporters. how would, where are they able to organize and express their anger? organize is tricky because of course they need a anything that looks like organization of some kind of challenge to russian author are. these is going to be stamped on extremely quickly. but what has been happening is the number of people who plainly have been coming out on the streets to register the fact that they are i angry at nevada and these desk. now what we come to is how wide spread this is. we do see pictures of people being arrested in the major cities, what's happening across the rest of the country because russian was now such a closed in opaque place. it's really hard to tell so guessing that the numbers of people involved in the number of people who genuinely feel simple, even divani is really very difficult. all right, well, let's talk actually a little bit about the russian opposition. what doesn't have found these death actually mean for the future of it as well? first of all, we should bear in mind that the opposition is made up of war more than one man.
8:13 pm
nobody has been getting all of the attention or that's been focused on the rational position for a very long time. but he had a whole movement behind him and then the other opposition groups as well. and you mentioned briefly in the report they have let him to tell them what is it exactly the same situation? as alex said, nobody except for the time being he still alive, he too was poisoned t 2, but chose to go back to russia, knowing what could happen to them. he is now in grave danger. of course, depending on the reaction of the outside world. but for the rescue opposition as a whole, what they've lost is the figurehead who is highly prominent and highly visible abroad. nothing else has changed. thanks for insights and analysis care care jobs. a rush list of char from has thank you. we're leaders gathered in munich, our focusing on global security, the wars and guys and ukraine, top the agenda. the head of nato says the russian invasion has exposed gaps in the
